Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. This episode is all about juniper berries and how you can incorporate these ancient berries into your magical practice!

Happy Lammas or Lughnasadh everyone!

Juniper berries are not really something that is used much anymore, however, if you’re a fan of the Skyrim series you may have heard a quote or two about juniper berries being used in mead. Juniper berries, which are not actually berries, are the seed cones from the Juniper plant, are used as a spice in cooking. Magically, juniper berries have been used throughout Europe as incense, hung on doors to protect homes, burned during exorcisms, worn for protection, used in love spells, and used to break curses and hexes.
