Mint Mentha
A Compendium of Plants

ESSENTIAL PROPERTIES

opening the door between realms, psychic ability

There are so many varieties of mint, but here I’m talking about “regular” mint, the mint we use to make mint tea, to cook with, and that grows so easily in an herb garden. Mint is a wonderful companion plant, as she repels harmful insects and attracts beneficial ones—but be careful, because mint tends to spread, and you don’t want her crowding her neighbors.

MEDICINAL PROPERTIES

Mint can calm an upset stomach, relieve a headache, and is being researched for her effectiveness in treating irritable bowel syndrome. And of course, mint has wide applications in aromatherapy, particularly to promote energy and clarity.

MAGICAL PROPERTIES

Mint strengthens psychic skill and divination. She helps you communicate with the divine, with your higher self, and with loved ones who have passed—all of which is critical to finding clarity and purpose. Mint connects you with the ancestors who have walked this Earth before you and have illuminating messages to help guide you. Perhaps that is why mint grows so wildly—because your ancestors are always present around you. Mint helps you to understand that you are never alone, and that you can speak your truth knowing you are being guided by the highest of powers.

PLANT WISDOM

Mint has a protective side, and won’t allow ill-willed spirits to come in contact with you while you are working with her. She brings wisdom that is deeply rooted into the Earth, giving you access to divine medicine for the soul. Dreaming of mint symbolizes harmony and balance coming your way, so keep up whatever you are doing! She clearly approves.
