Black robes are quite popular. Contrary to popular misconceptions, black doesn’t symbolize evil. It is the absence of color. It is a protective hue and symbolizes the night, the universe and a lack of falsehood. When a Wiccan wears a black robe, she or he is donning the blackness of outer space – symbolically, the ultimate source of divine energy. [3]

Dark Moon, defense, grounding. [4]

Peony

Published on by adanalunaLeave a comment

Cherished for generations, the peony is one of the most carefree and powerful magical plants that can be planted near your threshold. Known in Grandma’s day by the folk name piney, they’ve been used in medicine and magic since ancient times. Planted near the threshold, the peony protects against evil spirits. It was even used in exorcisms long ago. Cut for a vase arrangement, peonies will also protect the inside of the home. Blooming begins in May, but the entire plant has protective powers. It blooms in white, cream, red, and various shades of pink. I know you’ll find one you’ll love. [1]

One other plant that offers exceptional magical qualities when potted and placed near the threshold is the pansy. Known for drawing love and friendship, pansies also do well during cool weather and thrive in spring and autumn when other plants might not do well. I’ve even had bloom ouside my front door in Ohio on New Year’s day. [1]
