Star anise is a striking, aromatic spice long associated with psychic insight, protection, clarity, and good fortune. In folk magic and ritual practice, its star-shaped form symbolises guidance, balance, and connection between the physical and spiritual realms. It is commonly used in workings for divination, dream magic, luck, and spiritual protection, as well as to enhance intuition and focus during ritual.

Herbally, star anise is traditionally regarded as an aromatic carminative, valued for its warming nature and digestive-supporting properties. It has a long history of use in both herbal preparations and traditional culinary blends, prized for its distinctive flavour and comforting qualities.

Suggested Uses:

– Herbal teas and spice infusions (traditional use)

– Incense blends and ritual burning

– Dream work and divination practices

– Spell jars, charm bags, and altar offerings

Warnings & Safety:

For ritual, aromatic, or traditional herbal use only. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Star anise should not be confused with Japanese star anise, which is toxic — this product is culinary-grade Illicium verum. Consult a qualified herbalist before internal use, especially if taking medication or using regularly.
