Yarrow is a great healing plant- it was often carried into war because of its wound healing abilities. It’s known as a plant that can heal wound, but also gives great ability to the use to create them- hence it’s use in wartime.
Spells for good looks, charm, eloquence and fair demeanour all come under the care of the yarrow.
This is a very well used folk charm from the Carmina Gadelica that shows many of the famed magical uses for yarrow-
“I will pluck the yarrow fair,
That more benign shall be my face,
That more warm shall be my lips,
That more chaste shall be my speech.
Be my speech the beams of the sun,
Be my lips the sap of the strawberry.
May I be an isle in the sea,
May I be a star in the waning of the moon,
May I be a staff to the weak.
Wound can I every man,
Wound can no man me.”From the Carmina Gadelica

Yarrow is placed on the eyes to help with the second-sight and clairvoyance. It was particularly used for matters of love and thievery. For divining the identity of thieves, powdered yarrow is placed into a sigil engraved box full of water, and then the water is scryed for information. Yarrow was also used in the protection against thieves.
Midsummer or St. Johns Eve was a classic day to work the wonders of yarrow. Yarrow tea often placed out around the livestock to protect them from the amusements of the fair folk, and placed across the door protects against witches with ill intent. When yarrow is sown into clothing, it provides personal protection, while placed in the pocket makes a market day more profitable!
Yarrow is a classic herb for both witchcraft and cunningfolk, as it works with both malevolent and benevolent magic. The spirit of the yarrow either turns it eyes to the heaven or the underworld depending on whether the devil or the Holy Trinity was invoked.
