Magical Properties of Cascara

Cascara Sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana) — meaning “Sacred Bark” in Spanish — is a banishing and clearing herb used in North American folk traditions, particularly in spiritual cleansing and removal work. Like other buckthorn-family barks, its energy is purgative in both physical and symbolic senses.

Magically, cascara is about removal, release, and clearing what no longer serves.
