Nettle Leaf

Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica), once feared for its sting, has long been honored for its strength. Ruled by Mars and aligned with the element of Fire, nettle carries a bold, protective energy—perfect for warding off negativity and bolstering vitality.

Traditionally used in folk medicine and magick alike, nettle has been brewed, burned, and scattered to banish harmful forces, awaken courage, and restore energy. It is a plant of both defense and healing, encouraging resilience in the face of hardship, and passion where there is fatigue. To work with nettle is to call upon fierce, grounding protection rooted in ancient Earth wisdom.
