Elder Berry carries the deep protective magic of the Elder Mother — a tree-spirit of guarding, healing, and blessing.
Ruled by Venus and the element of Water, elder's powers are protection, healing, prosperity, sleep, and exorcism. The berries are added to protective and prosperity sachets, kept in the home to drive off harm, and worked for restful sleep and gentle healing. Tradition asks permission of the Elder Mother before harvesting.
Pairs well with: Elder Flowers, Hyssop, Mugwort, and Black Tourmaline.
Care: store dry in a sealed jar. Raw elderberries are not for ingestion.
