The protective powers of Nettle have long been used in magick. To remove a curse and send it back,

out and to send it back. Thrown onto a fire, it averts danger and held in the hand to ward off ghosts.

A pot of freshly cut Nettles placed beneath a sickbed will aid in the person’s recovery. It has sometimes

purification baths. This is because it is “more carnivorous” than other herbs and so will work more
efficiently.
