7 Benefits and Magickal Uses for Oregano

kitchen herb

Did you know that your kitchen is full of magick? (the ‘k’ spelling of magic is to differentiate it from stage tricks) One of the most potent magickal ingredients for creating happiness in your home – oregano – probably already sits snugly in your spice rack and I’m betting it was less than a week since you last used this common kitchen herb in your cooking.

Oregano is a herb most people associate with Italian cuisine and pizza toppings. The name oregano (Gr. oros ganos) means ‘mountain joy’ and one historic, joyful, non-culinary use of oregano is as laurels for bride and groom on the wedding day.

Esoterically, this herb is associated with Venus, Goddess of Love, and best used for Friday (Freya/Venus-day) magickal workings.
