Magical Properties of Nettle
Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a powerful, tenacious herb long revered in European and folk magic for protection, banishing, courage, and vitality. Its stinging leaves carry sharp, defensive energy, making it ideal for spells that ward off negativity, enforce boundaries, or strengthen personal power.
Nettle is sometimes called the “Herb of Protection and Courage”, reflecting both its defensive and empowering qualities.
