Basil is one of the most beneficial magical plants, and luckily, one of the easiest to find. Scott Douglas Cunningham in the Encyclopaedia of Magical Herbs describes some of its main powers, according to his studies on the subject. "The aroma of basil causes immediate sympathy between two people; that's why it was used in love rituals or to calm tensions between lovers," quotes Cunningham.

Basil is good natural protection against negative energies, brings mental clarity, acts against anxiety and promotes mental and spiritual development.

In the case of arguments and fights, the magic basil plant will eliminate the negativity of the environment and guarantees success.

Also, it could be said to have aphrodisiac power; basil is widely used to increase sex drive  among lovers. If basil incense is used, it helps improve the couple's marriage.

Basil has also been used to prove that someone is a good, honest person; you only have to sprinkle their body with basil dust while sleeping, and their reaction will mark if they are faithful.

Basil's magical power drives away evil spirits if it is spread on the ground, and it is also used in incense and purification baths to driving away all evil.

Rituals and spells with basil

Since ancient times magical plants have been used to make rituals and spells. Here are some of the things you can do with basil.

Love spell with basil

We have already highlighted the power of basil in love. Therefore, you should know that basil tea causes sympathy between two people, and that is why it is used to stop clashes between lovers or to unite two hearts.

It is added to incense or poured together with charcoal in an incense burner to attract good vibrations in love, and the fresh basil leaves are crushed against the skin as a kind of natural aroma of love.

Fun fact: in Eastern Europe, it was thought that a young man accepting a strand of basil from a woman would fall in love with her. 

Basil spell to know if a person is the one for you

We can use basil as a magic plant to help us know if a person is right for us or not as a partner. The ritual is very simple and easy.

Just place two fresh basil leaves over burning charcoal. If they stay where you have placed them and they quickly turn to ashes, then the relationship (or marriage) on which you are consulting will be harmonious.

If you notice a slight crunch, the relationship will be interrupted by fights. And if the leaves fly away, then the relationship is irrelevant.

Ritual of divination with basil

It is similar to the one above. Throw two large basil leaves in a chimney and watch how they behave: the omen is excellent if they burn together... and you should be worried if they jump and leave.

Basil ritual for money

Like so many magical green plants, in witchcraft basil is related to money. It is said to bring wealth to those who carry it in their pockets, and it is used to attract a store public if placed a little above the door or at the cash register.

You can also light a white candle in the center of a soup plate, adding olive oil, honey and 7 basil leaves around it. Light the candle and ask aloud for financial help or a solution to the problem you have.
