Beggar’s Buttons
Ancient Associations
Known as Beggar’s Buttons, burdock root has been revered in witchcraft for its powerful grounding energy, protective nature, and ability to draw abundance. The plant’s burrs, which cling persistently to those who pass by, have long been seen as a sign of tenacity, binding, and attraction, making it a potent tool for love, prosperity, and psychic enhancement. Witches have used burdock root in spells to break hexes, bring luck, and strengthen intuition, believing it to be a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms.
