Historical Planetary Herbal: Agrippa & Culpeper

A reference to planetary plant correspondences in Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and Nicholas Culpeper, with zodiacal assignments, fixed-star plants, and aromatic correspondences. Herbs, trees, crops, resins, and other plant materials are included where the sources name them.

How to use this reference

The columns preserve each source’s assignments. A difference between them remains visible. Agrippa himself states in Book I, chapter 32 that a plant can receive the combined influence of several stars.

C means the expanded Complete Herbal printed by Thomas Kelly in London in 1850, consulted in the Project Gutenberg transcription. Culpeper’s original herbal appeared in the seventeenth century; this later edition advertises additions and is not treated as an unchanged transcription of the 1652 text. Page links lead to the printed-page markers near each entry. Historical headings are retained or lightly modernized for searching.

A / I.23, for example, means Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Book I, chapter 23, in the public-domain 1651 English translation. The digital transcription and its PDF mirror were used together. A chapter reference applies to an explicit named plant, not to a planetary association inferred from its color or use.

— means no association entered from the Agrippa passages indexed here. It does not establish that the plant is absent from his entire work. “Not explicit in this entry” likewise refers only to the consulted Culpeper entry. No modern assignment has been used to fill such gaps.

Zodiacal signs are entered when Culpeper explicitly associates the plant with the sign. His references to a disease, an opposing planet, a bodily region, or a planet’s domicile are not automatically converted into plant correspondences. His tentative wording is preserved.

Historical plant names do not always identify one modern species. Broad names such as hellebore, mercury, dittany, maidenhair, spike, and dragonwort require botanical checking before material is selected. This is a historical correspondence reference, not a dosing, identification, or preparation guide. Some listed plants are poisonous; historical medical claims are not reproduced as practical instructions.

The added columns summarize historical claims about medicinal and household uses. They do not establish present-day safety or effectiveness. Parts and preparation forms follow the cited account; where it does not specify a part or use, the table says so. The main table’s added notes refer to the linked Culpeper entry unless another source is named. Additional Dispensatory material in the Agrippa supplement has separate page citations. No doses or preparation recipes are supplied.

Magic and folklore notes record what the author reports, including disagreements and stories attributed to others. Preparation terms include distilled waters, decoctions, syrups, conserves, expressed juices, powders and plant salts. These do not by themselves assign an alchemical stage to a plant. In the medicinal language, “cordial” concerns the heart or spirits, “flux” means an excessive discharge such as diarrhoea or bleeding, and “the mother” refers to the womb or uterine complaints.

Modern botanical references are used only to clarify the physical parts of saffron, cloves and mace, with links in those entries. Their planetary and traditional uses remain attributed to the older sources.

Planetary plant table

The alphabetical table contains 314 source entries and distinguished variants. Culpeper’s grouped headings remain grouped unless he gives different planets to different kinds. The two One-blade entries are consolidated.

Additional plants and materials named by Agrippa

These names supplement the Culpeper table. They are kept distinct when historical identity or the plant part prevents a secure merger. “General correspondence” and a plant’s use in a particular incense formula are different kinds of attribution.

Historical plant / material	Agrippa: planet, chapter, and context	Parts / materials	Historical medicinal / household uses	Magic, folklore & preparation notes
Aesculus	Jupiter [I.26]	Tree; no medicinal part specified	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	A I.26 lists it among the Jovial trees and compares it with oak; the exact species is not settled here.
Agnus castus	Moon [I.24]	Plant; C separately lists its seeds	No medicinal use specified in A I.24	A explicitly includes it in the lunar plant group; a modern chastetree species is not silently imposed on the historical name.
Almond	Jupiter [I.26]	Nut/kernel; sweet and bitter kinds distinguished in C	C discusses bitter almonds in chest and counter-drunkenness remedies	C separates bitter almonds; historical uses are not interchangeable with modern culinary almond use. C, p.248.
Aloeswood	Sun [I.23]	Aromatic wood	C: cordial and stomach preparations; perfume	C calls it Wood of Aloes, a rich perfume. This is an aromatic-wood entry, not aloe gel. Also a component in several different planetary fumes, A I.44. C, p.229.
Ascolonia	Mars [I.27]	Plant material not further specified in A	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	A I.27 groups it with onion and leek among hot, tear-provoking Martial plants; the exact identity remains unresolved here.
Balsam	Sun [I.23]	Aromatic material; exact historical product not settled	No medicinal use specified in A I.23	A I.44 names balsam wood in the Sun compound and among woods assigned to Mars; the wood and the balsam product should not be silently equated.
Benzoin tree	Saturn [I.25]	Tree producing benzoin; aromatic resin distinguished	C records benzoin as a perfume	A I.25 assigns the tree to Saturn, while I.44 places benzoin in the Jupiter compound and among solar gums. Plant, exudate and formula context differ. C, p.251.
Calamus aromaticus	Sun [I.23]	Root material in C’s historical classification	C classifies it among medicinal roots; exact preparation not added here	The historic aromatic-root name requires identification before use; it is not automatically every modern plant sold as calamus. C, p.257.
Cardis	Mars [I.27]	Prickly plant; part not specified	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	A I.27 locates the name in the thorny/prickly Martial group; no modern thistle species is supplied here.
Cartabana	Mars [I.27]	Historical plant-name; part unresolved	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	Retained exactly as a named Martial material in A I.27; botanical identification is unresolved.
Cedar	Sun [I.23]	Tree/wood	No medicinal use specified in A I.23	A lists cedar among trees consecrated to Phoebus. Different historical cedars should not be assumed to be one species.
Chinosta	Moon [I.24]	Plant said to vary in substance and leaf number	No medicinal use specified in A I.24	A reports it increasing and decreasing with the Moon. This is a period lunar-sympathy claim; the botanical identity is unresolved.
Cinnamon	Sun [I.23]	Aromatic bark/peel material	C discusses it as a corrective aromatic in purging compounds	A I.44 uses cinnamon as the Mercury aromatic and classes fragrant peels under Mercury; its solar association in I.23 remains separate. C, p.222.
Cinquefoil	Mercury [I.29]; Mercury [I.32] — Hermes/Albertus scheme, as reported by Agrippa	Herb; roots; leaves; juice	C: fevers; sore-mouth and wound preparations; fluxes	C’s separate cinquefoil passage follows the cicers entry and assigns Jupiter; A gives Mercury. C also records leaf-number fever lore while preferring a planetary gathering election. C, pp.49–50.
Clove	Sun [I.23]	Dried unopened flower buds	C: digestion; looseness; sight and reproductive claims	A I.44 includes cloves in Sun and Mercury compounds and among Jupiter’s odoriferous fruits. This is not an exclusive one-planet ingredient. C, p.248. Kew: botanical part.
Coriander	Venus [I.28]; Venus / Saturn [I.32] — combined influence passage	Seed; leafy plant distinguished by the name	C: digestive wind; with reservations about effects on the head	A I.32 gives combined Venus/Saturn influence rather than a single universal ruler. C, p.249.
Cumin	Saturn [I.25]	Seeds	C: digestive wind; binding and pain preparations	A I.25 places cumin under Saturn. C describes the seed as heating, binding and drying, showing why humoral quality and planetary ruler need separate records. C, p.250.
Cypress	Saturn [I.25]	Wood; leaves	C: binding preparations; household moth protection	A I.25 supplies funerary/Saturnian context; I.44 also includes cypress among Martial odoriferous woods. C records wood placed among clothes against moths. C, p.229; C, p.236.
Daffodil	Saturn [I.25]; Saturn [I.32] — Hermes/Albertus scheme, as reported by Agrippa	Plant; part not specified	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	Appears in both the Saturn plant list and the Hermes/Albertus scheme reported in I.32; no dose or modern Narcissus species is supplied.
Dittany	Sun [I.23]	Roots and herb, under distinct historical entries in C	C: wounds, foreign-body drawing and childbirth remedies	C distinguishes names including Dittany of Crete and reports a smell that repels venomous beasts. Agrippa’s solar name is not securely one modern species here. C, p.221; C, p.236.
Dog-tree	Jupiter [I.26]; Mars [I.27]	Tree; part not specified	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	A names it in both the Jovial list and the Martial list; the latter calls it dedicated to Mars. Botanical identity remains open.
Dragonwort	Saturn [I.25]; Saturn [I.32] — combined influence passage	Plant; part not specified in these A passages	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	A I.32 links the plant-name with Aquarius, Sirius’s group, Saturn and the celestial Dragon in different contexts; these are distinct references, not one simple attribution.
Euphorbium	Mars [I.27]	Gum/resinous material named in A	No medicinal use summarized here	A I.44 includes it in the Mars compound and assigns it as the Aquarius fume. Historical identity and preparation need separate checking.
Filbert	Jupiter [I.26]	Nut	No medicinal use specified in A I.26	A includes it among sweet/subtly astringent Jovial foods; it may overlap with hazel, but the historical entries are retained separately.
Frankincense	Sun [I.23]	Resin; the tree is separately named	A I.44: aromatic compound ingredient	A includes it in Sun, Moon and Mercury compounds; names the tree among Saturnian fume materials; and gives frankincense to Leo. It is also in the Pleiades group, I.32.
Ginger	Sun [I.23]	Root/rhizome material	C: warming digestion; wind; joint complaints	C calls it hot and dry in the second degree. A’s solar attribution is retained without converting it to a universal Mars assignment. C, p.227.
Goosefoot	Moon [I.32] — Hermes/Albertus scheme, as reported by Agrippa	Historical plant-name; part not specified	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passage	Lunar plant in the Hermes/Albertus scheme reported by A I.32; not automatically identical with C’s stinking arrach.
Gum ammoniac	Mars [I.27]	Gum material	C: softening/drawing applications; spleen and joint complaints	C describes it as hot/dry in the third degree. A I.44 includes the gum in the Mars compound. C, p.274.
Holm tree	Jupiter [I.26]	Tree; part not specified	No medicinal use specified in A I.26	A includes it in the Jovial tree group. C’s differently grouped holly/holm vernacular name is not used to impose a species identity.
Labdanum	Venus [I.28]	Aromatic gum/resin	C: chiefly external hair, scar and pain preparations	C discusses thickening, heating and softening properties. A I.44 places it among gums associated with the Sun, alongside its Venus attribution in I.28. C, pp.270–271.
Leek	Mars [I.27]	Plant; bulb/leaves not separately specified in A	No medicinal use specified in A I.27	A uses its hot, tear-provoking character in the Martial plant group. This is a signature/classification passage, not a recipe.
Libanotis	Sun [I.23]	Historical aromatic plant/material	No medicinal use specified in A I.23	A reports Orpheus calling it the sweet perfume of the Sun. Identity is not equated automatically with rosemary or frankincense.
Lote-tree	Sun [I.23]	Fruit and leaves named in A	No medicinal use specified in A I.23	A interprets the figure of its fruit and leaves as solar. The tree is not silently equated with an aquatic lotus.
Mace	Jupiter [I.26]	Aril surrounding the nutmeg seed	C: binding preparations for fluxes and spitting blood	A I.44 classes mace among fragrant peel materials under Mercury. C’s claim that it is inner bark is retained as period botanical terminology, not adopted as identification. C, p.228. The aril identification follows the Spices Board of India.
Mandrake	Saturn [I.25]	Root; root bark separately listed in C	No practical medicinal recommendation; C explicitly calls the root dangerous	A I.25 places it with stupefying Saturnian plants; I.32 places it in several star groups; I.44 includes the root in the Saturn compound. C, p.223.
Manna	Jupiter [I.26]	Historical sweet/exudate material	C: gentle purging of choler; throat and stomach preparations	A’s Jovial classification is associated with sweetness; the historical product’s identity is not reduced to one modern commercial manna. C, p.251.
Mastic	Sun [I.23]; Jupiter [I.26]; Sun / Jupiter [I.32] — combined influence passage	Gum/resin; leaves/bark treated separately by C	C discusses leaves and bark in binding/bleeding remedies	A I.44 includes mastic in Sun and Mercury contexts; I.32 links it with the Heart of the Lion. C’s tree material is distinguished from the gum. C, p.239.
Myrobalan	Jupiter [I.26]	Fruit; several sorts distinguished	C: purging and stomach preparations	C differentiates kinds rather than giving every myrobalan one action; the historical products require identification. C, p.249.
Myrtle	Venus [I.28]	Leaves; berries; aromatic leafy material	C: binding preparations for fluxes and bleeding	A I.28 associates it with Hesperus; I.44 gives myrtle as the lunar aromatic. Both contexts remain visible. C, p.241.
Olive	Moon [I.24]; Jupiter [I.26]	Fruit/oil; tree	C discusses ripe-fruit olive oil as a temperate salad oil	A names olive in Moon and Jupiter groups, and names its oil under Jupiter. Oil and whole-tree correspondences are distinguished. C, p.205.
Palm	Sun [I.23]; Moon [I.24]	Tree; boughs	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	A consecrates palm to Phoebus in I.23 and reports a bough growing with the Moon in I.24; the latter is period lunar lore.
Pas-flower	Saturn [I.25]	Funerary plant; part not specified	No medicinal use specified in A I.25	A describes flowers strewn at graves and excluded from festive garlands as mournful. The historical name is not resolved to a modern species.
Pepper	Sun [I.23]	Aromatic pepper material	C: warming digestion; wind and colic	A lists it under the Sun. Pepperwort in I.44 is a different plant-name and must not be substituted merely because both names contain pepper. C, p.248.
Pine	Saturn [I.25]	Wood/tree; cone husks and bark in C	C: binding preparations; chest complaints	A places pine in the Saturnian tree group. C separately discusses the husks of seed-bearing cones. C, p.228.
Pine-apples (historical term)	Jupiter [I.26]	Historical seed/cone-associated food term; identity not fixed here	No medicinal use specified in A I.26	Retained among Agrippa’s Jovial nuts and foods; not silently identified as the modern tropical pineapple.
Pistachio	Jupiter [I.26]	Nut	No medicinal use specified in A I.26	Named among the Jovial nuts/foods. A gives no separate medicinal preparation in that passage.
Pomegranate	Venus [I.28]	Fruit; rind; flowers	C: astringent preparations; digestion and gum complaints	A I.28 gives the Cyprus/Venus origin story. C differentiates rind and flowers from other fruit preparations. C, p.228; C, p.247.
Raisin	Jupiter [I.26]	Dried grape/fruit	No medicinal use specified in A I.26	A places raisins among sweet Jovial foods; the fruit material is distinct from the whole vine.
Rhubarb	Jupiter [I.26]	Root material; historical kinds distinguished	C: purging of choler; stomach/liver complaints; residual binding action	C contrasts infusion with boiling and discusses Rhubarb of Pontus separately. This does not establish identity with every garden rhubarb. C, p.225.
Sandalwood	Venus [I.28]; Sun / Venus [I.32] — combined influence passage	Aromatic wood; historical white/red/yellow kinds distinguished	C: cooling and binding preparations; heart/fever remedies	A I.44 gives sandalwood to Virgo and includes aromatic woods under Mars; I.28 and I.32 preserve Venus and Sun/Venus contexts. C’s kinds are not assumed to be one botanical species. C, p.229.
Scammony	Mars [I.27]	Historical purgative plant/material; exact part not specified in A	No medicinal use summarized from A I.27	A includes it among hot/poisonous Martial materials; no preparation or dose is supplied here.
Sea-green	Jupiter [I.26]	Historical plant-name	No medicinal use specified in A I.26	Retained separately from I.32’s Sen-green/Sengreen. A Jovial assignment alone is not a secure botanical identification.
Selenotropion	Moon [I.24]	Plant named as turning toward the Moon	No medicinal use specified in A I.24	A compares its lunar turning with heliotropium’s solar turning. The name and claim are historical; identification remains unresolved.
Spike	Jupiter [I.26]	Historical aromatic plant-name; part unresolved	No medicinal use specified in A I.26	Not automatically identified as modern lavender, spikenard or spike lavender. The Jovial name requires further textual/botanical work.
Storax	Jupiter [I.26]	Aromatic gum/material; historical products distinguished	C: cough, hoarseness and chest-discharge preparations	A attributes storax to Jupiter through Orpheus, I.26; I.44 includes it among solar gums, in the Jupiter compound and as red storax for Pisces. C, pp.251–252.
Sugar	Jupiter [I.26]	Sweet processed plant material	C uses sugar as a vehicle for syrups and decoctions	A includes sugar among Jovial sweet substances. Its role as a preparation vehicle is different from an herb’s exclusive planetary rulership. C, p.205.
Sulphurwort	Mars [I.32] — Apuleius scheme, as reported by Agrippa	Historical plant-name; part unresolved	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passage	Martial plant in the Apuleius scheme reported in A I.32; the name alone does not justify identifying it as elemental sulfur.
Vine	Sun [I.23]; Jupiter [I.26]	Tree/vine; fruit treated separately as raisins	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passages	A names vine in both Sun and Jupiter groups. C’s cabbage passage records an antipathy between vine and cabbage; reported natural-magic lore. C, pp.37–38.
Wolfsbane	Mars [I.27]	Historical plant-name; part not specified in A	No medicinal use summarized from A I.27	Named among hot/poisonous Martial plants; identity and any handling require separate botanical assessment.
Woundwort	Venus [I.32] — Apuleius scheme, as reported by Agrippa	Historical plant-name; part not specified	No medicinal use specified in the indexed A passage	Venus plant in the Apuleius scheme reported in I.32; not automatically equated with every modern herb sold as woundwort.
Zedoary	Sun [I.23]	Root/rhizome material	C: wind, vomiting, colic and fluxes; historical counter-poison remedies	C records disagreement among earlier authors over Zedoary and Zurumbet and distinguishes their forms. C, p.227.

Agrippa’s zodiacal plants

The first twelve rows reproduce the scheme Agrippa attributes to Apuleius in I.32. These are assignments reported through Agrippa, not independently verified quotations from an extant work of Apuleius.

Agrippa additionally associates asparagus with Aries and garden basil with Scorpio in the same chapter. The explanations accompanying them belong to the natural philosophy of the text and are not botanical propagation instructions.

Agrippa’s fixed-star plants

These are the fifteen stellar plant groups in I.32, reported by Agrippa under the doctrine of Hermes and Thebit. Historical star names are retained; a modern identification or election requires a separate check. Similar names in different entries have not been collapsed.

Aromatic and incense correspondences

Book I, chapter 44 gives compound planetary fumes and a separate seven-aromatic scheme attributed to Hermes. The table extracts only named botanical ingredients from the compounds; it omits their other ingredients and is not a complete recipe. Membership in a compound does not by itself establish exclusive planetary rulership. The chapter also assigns broad ingredient classes to planets, so its categories overlap.

Planet	Botanical ingredients in the named compound, I.44	Seven-aromatic scheme, I.44
Sun	Saffron; aloeswood; balsam wood; laurel fruit; cloves; myrrh; frankincense	Mastic
Moon	White poppy seed; camphor; frankincense	Myrtle
Saturn	Black poppy seed; henbane; mandrake root; myrrh	Pepperwort
Jupiter	Ash seed; aloeswood; storax; benzoin	Nutmeg
Mars	Euphorbium; bdellium; gum ammoniac; roots of both hellebores	Aloeswood
Venus	Aloeswood; red roses	Saffron
Mercury	Mastic; frankincense; cloves; cinquefoil	Cinnamon

Zodiacal fume, I.44	Material
Aries	Myrrh
Taurus	Pepperwort
Gemini	Mastic

Pisces	Red storax

Reading the differences

Rosemary: Culpeper gives the Sun and Aries; Agrippa explicitly lists it under the Moon in I.24. Neither statement has been replaced with a presumed universal assignment.

Rue: Culpeper gives the Sun and Leo; Agrippa lists rue under Saturn in I.25.

Balm: Culpeper gives Jupiter and Cancer; Agrippa lists balm under the Sun in I.23.

Hazel: Culpeper gives Mercury. Agrippa names hazel under both Jupiter in I.26 and Mercury in I.29.

Henbane: Agrippa lists it under Jupiter; Culpeper explicitly disputes that opinion and argues for Saturn. Agrippa also includes henbane in the Saturn compound in I.44.

Roses: Culpeper separates red roses, Damask roses, and white roses. Agrippa’s Venus material does not authorize erasing Culpeper’s distinctions.

The reference does not add a universal element, magical intention, or alchemical stage to every plant. Such columns would require their own source citations. Likewise, a planet’s associated element cannot simply be copied onto every herb it governs.
