Origin & Traditional Use

Juniper berries are the blue, resinous cones of the juniper shrub, used to flavour gin, sauerkraut and game dishes. Juniper smoke has long been burned to cleanse homes in Scotland, Scandinavia and the Himalayas.

Uses in the Work

Use them for protection, purification and the dead. Burn juniper to cleanse a space before and after spirit work, and hang it at the door against evil and theft. Add berries to protection jars and to necromantic incense, and string them as a protective necklace. Juniper smoke is used to strengthen psychic sight.
