Mullein
CAD $8.50
Mullein can be gathered and hung in a sick room to facilitate healing, it offers protection, can be used in incense blends for workings for courage, and a charm bag of it can be kept under ones pillow to prevent nightmares in your dreams. Putting Mullein in your shoes or adding it as a tea to your ritual wash bath for five days gives courage and drives away enemies. It can also be burned to control spirits. Also known as hag’s taper, or you may hear it referred to as the candlewick plant.
In Poland Mullen stalks dipped in beeswax were called Gromnica, a ceremonial and often personal candle used for protection. It was lit during lightning storms, in winter for protection, protection against attacking wolves, and also as a symbol of the light of life and the triumph of the soul and mind over body and flesh. A small part of the gromnica was sometimes buried in the field to keep the crops, livestock, and property safe, and a piece was also buried under the foundations or thresholds of a new home to ensure its safety. Also known as a Thunder Candle. The Polish word “grom” means a clap of thunder. On Candlemas Day (Feb 2nd) the day would also be commemorated as “Our Lady of the Thunder Candle” (Święto Matki Bożej Gromnicznej). Gromnice candles are blessed at church and the faithful decorate their thunder candles with fir twigs and light blue ribbons. Now only practiced in some villages and small towns in Poland is the bringing of the “blessed fire” home on Candlemas Day. The goal was to keep the candle lit up during the trip home from church, not an easy task considering the weather on a typical day in early February.
Traditionally this candle would be brought out when a person is on their deathbed, giving them the hope that Mary would lead them through their current darkness and into the light of Eternal Light.
