Star Symbol Magical Meaning
The shape of this herb is one of the most magical things about it. The star is a powerful symbol with esoteric meaning and is associated with pentagrams and protection as well as symbolic of the Divine itself. They are a little piece of heaven on earth. Anise Star is a powerful plant ally to work with as it represents the 8-pointed star. Anise seeds are also popular in money drawing spells but I prefer to work with the stars for these reasons. They have a more radiant energy than the seeds; it's an energy that is seeking outward. This makes them especially helpful in prosperity spells or any type of manifestation. In fact, usually any time I dress a candle or make a spell jar I add Star Anise. It adds that sense of magical possibility that I’m after – it is an energy that says, Universe I am here and I am open to receive your blessings. For this reason, I always take the time to find beautifully star shaped Anise stars and never use the broken ones for my spells. (But I am a bit of a perfectionist so if that doesn't feel right to you then go with your own intuition!) Of course, either way we are intentional about not being wasteful with our plant spirits and there are many ways to use the broken ones. Anise Star boasts medicinal properties and I suggest adding some of those broken pieces to tea to keep good health.
