Stinging Nettle

Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a fiercely protective herb long used in hoodoo, rootwork, European folk magic, and spiritual healing traditions. Known for its fiery, boundary-setting energy, Nettle helps repel negativity, strengthen your spiritual defenses, and empower you with courage and resilience.

In hoodoo and conjure, Nettle is a warrior herb — one of the go-to roots when you need to fight back, hold your ground, or send trouble back where it came from. Workers use it to break jinxes, guard the home, and put a stop to enemies who won’t leave well enough alone. It carries the energy of Mars — aggressive, protective, and unyielding.
