Oatstraw, a versatile ingredient in magickal practices, shines most brightly on days associated with Venus, particularly Fridays and during the hour of Venus. Its reputation in money magic is well-deserved, but it also weaves potent spells for fertility. Combined with other herbs, flowers, resins, or woods in witch bottles, it can amplify fertility and financial matters. Moreover, when harnessed in ritual baths or herbal teas, oatstraw's rejuvenating properties can foster inner peace and sharpen mental clarity, concentration, and endurance. 

Traditionally, oat straw has been a trusted ally in the battle against various health conditions, including headaches, migraines, shingles, and fatigue. Its tinctures and teas have been recommended for degenerative ailments such as multiple sclerosis, and it has a long history of use in treating epilepsy. It's a soothing balm for rheumatism, muscle pain, and kidney or bladder issues in baths. Oatstraw's healing touch extends to lifting a depressed mood and aiding individuals in withdrawal from addictive substances or alcohol. 

Oatstraw is a powerhouse of benefits, enhancing brain function, aiding digestion, relieving stress, and naturally energizing the body. It's a rich source of calcium, supporting stronger bones and teeth. Oatstraw's benefits extend to improving sleep, supporting the nervous system, and reducing anxiety. Studies even suggest that it can potentially enhance sexual function and increase testosterone levels while also helping to balance the endocrine system and alleviate spasms and inflammation. With such diverse benefits, Oatstraw is a must-have for your health and magickal practices.
