Birch Bark

Other Names: None

Element: Air

Planet: Venus

Zodiac: Sagittarius

Ritual Uses: Birch has a history of being used as protection against spiritual forces. It is one of the sacred trees of the Ogham, and has a long history of use in regions of North America; it is not an herbal ingredient that finds its way into Hoodoo, but that is likely circumstantial (Birch trees don’t grow in the South all that much).
