Origin & Lore

Eucalyptus is a large genus of trees native to Australia, whose leaves are rich in fragrant oil. It was carried around the world in the nineteenth century and became a familiar household scent. In magickal practice it is used for spiritual cleansing and for workings of wellbeing and renewal.

Eucalyptus trees can drink so much water that they were once planted to drain marshes, and the craft uses the oil in the same spirit: to clear what stagnates.

Eucalyptus reached Europe, Africa and the Americas in the 1800s, when settlers planted it widely for timber and windbreaks. Its strong scent made it a natural fit for modern cleansing practice, and it is now one of the most common oils on a witch’s shelf for clearing spaces.
