Ginger Properties for Healing & Magick

Not THAT Ginger…yeah, lame, but it was a moral imperative…ok, down to business…

These cards are from the “Snail Mail” days! See the link below!

So, Inspired by this old deck of herbal cards I have, I’m going to do a quick rundown of Ginger and it’s uses for health and magick…

All resources are listed in the bibliography at the end.

Ginger is a powerful plant of tropical origin – from India. I read another source that said China. Then I got a general “Southeastern Asia.” So who knows….That’s why we over research, you can’t trust everything you read!

With a rich, spicy flavor, its original name is “horn.”

In the Middle Ages, this root was used to prepare liquors and digestive drinks, and they also manufactured a type of bread called “Podirijanca” shaped like a vagina traditionally used in wedding rituals.

Instead of throwing a bouquet, they threw this bread, and all the men fought for it.

Ginger: Known as Zingiber officinale

Part Used: The Rootstock

Collection: The rootstock is dug up when the leaves are dried. The remains of the stem and root fibers should be removed. Wash thoroughly and dry in the sun.

Different Options for Use:

Fresh ginger root: This is the most potent form of ginger, but also the most versatile. You can slice it and steep it in hot water for tea, mince it into stir-fry dishes, juice it, add it to your smoothies, or even take a slice and suck on it! Dried ginger or ginger juice is great for a mid day snack.
Ground ginger: Ground ginger can be used in similar ways to fresh ginger. It can be steeped in hot water for tea or added to your favorite recipes. Powdered ginger is also great to use for baking.
Ginger capsules: This is the easiest way to get ginger into your diet—especially if you aren’t a fan of the taste! Ginger capsules, or ginger supplements, are simple. The ground ginger powder is added to a capsule for easy consumption at any time of day.
Ginger tea: As mentioned, you can make ginger tea using fresh ginger or ground ginger. But you can also buy ready-to-go ginger extract tea bags at the store. These are great to have on hand if feel nauseated or want to settle your stomach after eating.
Ginger chews: Ginger chews are like ginger candies and tend to be more mild in flavor and can be taken anywhere. Make sure to check the ingredients to make sure you’re not consuming unwanted ingredients like corn syrup.
Ginger oil: Ginger oil can be taken internally or rubbed topically to treat pain. Ginger essential oil has many soothing properties and is useful to use for massages.

Throw a piece into an Attraction Spellbag

(Great Beginners “How” To for Spellbags)

Inspire passion and bring “heat” into a relationship with the help of ginger in a spell bag.

The very old use of this root suggests that a clean piece of the ginger root must be chewed and then spat out. Then it could be applied to a sick part of the body. It can also be applied to the photograph of a person who is sick.
Pour some slices of ginger in a glass of wine or a cocktail you drink with your partner, to rejuvenate the flame of passion. You can only do that if your relationship is healthy. You shouldn’t use this practice in a relationship that has many problems since these can only worsen.
Sprinkle some powdered ginger root on your wallet, or in your pocket, to attract more money.
Burn some ginger root at home helps to attract success.
Smoke from the ignited ginger root also helps dissolve spells that have been made against the person and also helps energize personal amulets.
Chewing or eating some root or drinking a ginger tea helps fight fatigue and provides more personal energy, so you should do it before doing a ritual of love, prosperity or protection, to increase your mental energy.

Supplements

Ginger Root Supplement: I’m adding this because I use this myself. A few years back I lost most feeling in my peripheral limbs. My feet and hands consistently feel numb. Like they’re asleep. Ginger helps with stimulating peripheral nerve damage. So, YEAH, I’m definitely mentioning this!
