Magical & Spiritual Uses
Vitex is traditionally worked with for sexual restraint, boundary-setting, emotional balance, and spiritual discipline. In folk magic and historical spiritual traditions, it is associated with temperance, fidelity, and the regulation of desire. Vitex has been used symbolically to quiet excessive passions, support clarity in matters of love and devotion, and strengthen self-governance. Its lunar nature aligns it with cyclical rhythms, emotional regulation, and introspective spiritual work, particularly during times of transition or inner recalibration.
 
Traditional & Folk Herbal Context
Vitex is a small shrub native to the Mediterranean region and now cultivated throughout temperate areas of the world. The dried fruit, commonly known as chasteberry or monk’s pepper, has been used for over two thousand years in European herbal traditions. Ancient Greek and Roman sources reference its use by both women and men, and it was later adopted in monastic traditions during the Middle Ages.
In traditional herbal systems, vitex has been associated with supporting physical and emotional well-being during the menstrual cycle and through the transition into menopause.* These uses are shared as historical and educational context only.
