Red Root

Red Root (Ceanothus americanus) Product descriptionRed Root—also known as New Jersey Tea—is the steadfast herb of protection, healing, and purification. Its vibrant, rust-colored root bark carries a warming, astringent energy, making it perfect for fortifying boundaries and clearing negativity. Scatter shredded Red Root around your altar to bolster protective wards, steep it in a grounding ritual bath to cleanse the aura, or layer it beneath protective candles to amplify healing intentions and shield your space. Folklore StoryNative American healers revered Red Root for its power to dispel illness and ward off harm. One legend tells of a tribal elder who, beset by unseen spirits, drank an infusion of the root and laid splinters around his lodge—by dawn, both his body and home were free of malevolent presence, and Red Root earned the title “Spirit’s Bane.” Attributes Gender: Masculine Planet: Saturn Element: Earth Powers: Protection, Healing, Purification, Grounding, Banishing
