LORE:   Culpepper notes that the dogwood is under the power of Jupiter, which Culpepper notes governs luck, increase, nourishment, and the “spirit of life”. 

Sacred to the Druids.

An old folk remedy for treating mange in dogs involved making a decoction of dogwood bark, and washing the affected areas with it.

MAGICKAL USES:    

Dogwood is associated with loyalty, secrets, wishes, protection, fertility, desire, and illusion. 

Use Jamaican Dogwood Root in protective amulets and charm bags. It is used as a catalyst for manifesting desires and wishes. Burn in an incense to open the mind to  hidden truths and sacred secrets.

As an herb of secrecy, sprinkle a little dogwood in a diary, grimoire, or Book of Shadows. An oil made from the flowers can be used to dress a letter and keep prying eyes off of it.

Make a wish come true by adding dogwood on a cloth on the evening of Midsummer, and wishing on it. Carry it until you get your desire, then bury the cloth.

It’s bad luck to bring dogwood flowers into your home, or to burn the wood in your hearth.
