Uses
Yarrow is associated with courage, healing symbolism, love, psychic defense, boundaries, and protection. Its folklore around Achilles gives it a strong theme of resilience: guarding vulnerable places while helping the practitioner remain open, brave, and steady.
In Practice
Carry dried yarrow in a protective charm, add it to handfasting or commitment work, or use it in a bath or sachet focused on strengthening boundaries. It also fits well beside divination tools when the goal is psychic protection without shutting intuition down.
Cautionary Notes
May cause photosensitivity in rare cases. Avoid large doses during pregnancy.
