Juniper

Alternative Name:

Juniperus communis

Juniper, also known as Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), has a rich history steeped in magic, medicine, and folklore. Native to Eastern North America, it thrives in open fields and sunny locations, growing up to 30-40 feet high.

Despite being called a cedar, it belongs to the cypress family. Juniper’s sharp, young needles transform into flattened, scale-like leaves as they age. Ancient Egyptians used juniper berries to cure tapeworm infestations, and the Romans employed them for purification and stomach ailments.

In Western Esoteric traditions, juniper is associated with fire, purification, and disease prevention. Its presence offers strength and wisdom, especially during dark times.
