Scents of Salem


Wondering why we chose the four scents of the candle? Read all about the magical properties below.

Witch slang: Tongue of Toad

Herb: British Sage leaf


Sage is used in various traditions around the world for cleansing and protection rituals. In the UK we traditionally use ‘Common’ Sage which can be found easily locally in the British Isles.

It's great for cleansing your environment of negative energy and encouraging wisdom as well as healing so perfect for beginning the process of cleansing your space.

‘Tongue’: The leaf or petal of a plant or herb
‘Toad’: Sage


Witch Slang: Dew of The Sea

Herb: Rosemary


Rosemary is a very important herb in British Witchcraft and can be used for many purposes, one of which is protection. It’s recommended to grow Rosemary by your door to protect the home and grounds from pests as they hate the aroma but according to tradition, dark spirits also dislike the scent of Rosemary.

It is also reported to help with removing jealous feelings aimed towards you. Rosemary was traditionally burned to purify spaces ready for magic rituals so it’s a fabulous choice to energise the cleansing Sage energy already created in stage one.

‘Dew of the sea’: Rosemary was believed to grow better by the sea

Witch Slang: Blood Of Hestia

Herb: Chamomile


Chamomile is one of the old known medicinal herbs and is even known as the plant's physician due to its powers in reviving dying plants. With this in mind, it’s great to use for protection rituals as it encourages protection of the spirit, mind and body.

It also is known to provide protection for homes and to bring luck.

‘Blood’: Extracted sap of plant

Witch Slang: Elf Leaf

Herb: Lavender


Lavender has many magical uses such as encouraging self-love, peace and relaxation. It is great for helping remove any toxic energies you may be holding on to, healing any past hurt and helps aid restful sleep.

Many witches use Lavender to help improve the psychic intuition in their dreams in various ways such as using dried leaves or oil on their pillow or drinking in their tea.

‘Elf’: Lavender was related to attracting Elves - who can blame them, it’s a nice flower.
