Spiritual Plants and Planetary Energies: A Cosmic Garden of Healing

Spiritual Plants and Planetary Energies: A Cosmic Garden of Healing

At the Church of New Enchantment, we honor the ancient belief that all life is interconnected—not just across species or elements, but between Heaven and Earth. This week’s message explores the sacred relationship between herbs and planets, a teaching found across Ayurveda, Hermeticism, Western occultism, Wicca, and traditional folk medicine.

Many ancient systems teach that each plant holds not only physical healing properties, but also spiritual frequencies that align with celestial bodies. For example:

• Lavender, soothing and calming, is aligned with Mercury for mental clarity and the Moon for emotional ease.

• Rose, associated with Venus, opens the heart, restores compassion, and deepens self-love.

• Tulsi (Holy Basil), sacred in Hindu traditions, connects to the Sun for uplifting, radiant energy.

• Mugwort, ruled by the Moon, aids in dreamwork, psychic opening, and intuitive insight.

Each of these plants can be worked with intentionally during certain planetary hours or days to enhance their spiritual properties. This concept is deeply rooted in esoteric traditions, where planetary forces are not just symbolic—they are energetic currents that shape our inner and outer worlds.

Modern research even hints at this connection. The field of plant neurobiology and studies in bioenergetics suggest plants have ways of communicating, sensing energy, and interacting with human emotion—validating what mystics have always known.

For deeper study, consider exploring:

• Culpeper’s Herbal by Nicholas Culpeper

• The Book of Herbal Wisdom by Matthew Wood

• Plant Spirit Healing by Pam Montgomery

• Astrological Herbalism by Elisabeth Brooke

Let this sermon guide you in creating a more sacred herbal practice—not just for health, but for spiritual alignment.

We believe that all religions and spiritual paths hold truth, and that through intuitive tools like herbs, we reconnect with the Divine rhythms of the universe.

🌿 May you walk in alignment with the planets, the plants, and the pulse of your own soul.

With love and light,
