Comfrey Leaves

Comfrey, known as *knitbone* or *boneset*, is a verdant guardian of healing, protection, and earthly wisdom. Its broad, hairy leaves and deep-rooted nature embody the stabilizing force of the earth element, making it a potent ally in spells of restoration and steadfast strength.

In folk magic, comfrey is revered for its ability to "knit" together what is broken—whether physical wounds, fractured relationships, or scattered energies. A leaf placed under a mattress or pillow promotes restful recovery, while sachets of dried comfrey can be carried to encourage resilience during difficult transitions. Its roots, when used respectfully, anchor spells for financial stability or long-term security, often buried near the home as a protective charm.

Comfrey’s association with Saturn lends it a grounding, boundary-setting energy—ideal for creating magical safeguards or marking sacred perimeters. When burned (with proper ventilation), its smoke carries petitions for justice or the mending of wrongs. In divination, it aids in uncovering deep truths or ancestral messages, particularly when working with land spirits or the bones of the earth.

As a plant that thrives where it is planted, comfrey teaches the magic of patience and trust in gradual growth. Its presence in a witch’s garden or craft serves as a reminder that some healing—and some magic—works slowly but profoundly, weaving strength from the roots upward.

Use with care and gratitude, for comfrey’s power runs deep.
