FENUGREEK FOLKLORE & MAGICK: Fenugreek has been cultivated for thousands of years and was highly valued by ancient civilizations. The Egyptians used it for embalming and the Greeks fed it to their horses to make them strong. The name literally means "Greek hay." In many traditions, fenugreek is carried or worn to attract money and prosperity. It's also been used to increase courage and confidence, especially in business dealings. Some folklore suggests that keeping fenugreek seeds in your wallet or purse will ensure it never stays empty.
FENUGREEK THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES: Fenugreek is packed with nutrients and has been used medicinally for centuries. It's known to help regulate blood sugar levels and support healthy digestion. It contains compounds that may help increase milk production in nursing mothers. The seeds are high in fiber, protein, and iron. It has anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce cholesterol levels. However, it can interact with blood thinning medications and may affect blood sugar, so consult a healthcare provider if you're on medication.
FENUGREEK MAGICKAL & SPIRITUAL USES: Fenugreek is excellent for prosperity and money magic. Add the seeds to money bowls or carry them in your wallet to attract wealth. Burn ground fenugreek as incense during abundance rituals. It can be used in protection spells, especially for safeguarding your finances or business. Add to courage spells when you need confidence for important decisions or ventures. Sprinkle around your home or business to attract luck and prosperity.
FENUGREEK THERAPEUTIC USES: Make a tea from the seeds to help with digestion and blood sugar regulation. The seeds can be soaked overnight and eaten to help with constipation. Ground seeds can be made into a paste and applied to the skin for minor irritations or inflammation. Add the leaves to cooking for their nutritional benefits - they're delicious in curries and stews. I love making fenugreek based products to use in skin care such as a glycerite that you can add to lotions.
WARNINGS: Avoid during pregnancy as it may stimulate contractions. May interact with diabetes medications and blood thinners. Can cause digestive upset in large amounts. If you have a peanut or chickpea allergy, you may also react to fenugreek since they're related.
IDEAS FOR USING FENUGREEK IN SPELLS & MAGICK: Create a money drawing oil by infusing fenugreek seeds in carrier oil. Add to green candles for prosperity spells. Make a prosperity powder by grinding the seeds with Bay Laurel and Cinnamon. Carry three seeds in your pocket when going to job interviews or important business meetings. Add to bath water before important financial decisions. I love making a tincture with fenugreek for both its magical and therapeutic properties - use it to dress money candles or take a few drops before big financial decisions to boost confidence. It makes an interesting flavored bitter that can be added to cocktails for a bit of boozy magick!
