Rue

🌿 Rue (Ruda) – Protection, Cleansing, Love Work & Spiritual Strength

📖 Overview

Rue (Ruta graveolens) — also known as Ruda and honored throughout folk magic as the Queen of Herbs — is one of the most potent botanicals for protection, banishing, cleansing, and spiritual strength. Revered for its ability to break hexes, repel negativity, and guard against the evil eye, Rue holds a central place in traditional witchcraft, rootwork, and folk magick.

Rue also carries a subtle influence in love magick. When combined with sandalwood and lavender flowers, it becomes a traditional lover’s incense used to deepen emotional connection, release blockages, and create harmonious romantic energy.

Its fiery, purifying qualities make Rue ideal for uncrossing rituals, house blessings, spiritual baths, and protective charms hung above doors or windows.
