Third Eye Chakra Witchcraft: How to Heal, Balance, and Awaken Intuition & Vision

Scroll down to the bullet points for symptoms of an underactive or overactive third eye chakra.
💜 What Is the Third Eye Chakra?
The Third Eye Chakra, or Ajna in Sanskrit, rests between your eyebrows, right at the brow center. It’s the sixth chakra, and it’s the seat of intuition, insight, and inner vision. For me, this chakra feels like a compass that points the way when everything else feels uncertain.
Think of it like a lantern in the dark. Your Third Eye Chakra helps you see beyond the surface and trust the wisdom within. It governs imagination, psychic abilities, and the ability to connect dots others might miss. When it’s balanced, you move through life with clarity and trust in your intuition. When blocked? You feel confused, foggy, and full of doubt.
I can always tell my Third Eye needs tending when I find myself overthinking, second-guessing, or ignoring gut instincts. For witches, this chakra is our scrying mirror. It’s the inner eye that sees patterns, guides divination, and opens doorways into deeper knowing.
Chakras originate in Indian spiritual traditions; this post offers modern witchcraft correspondences with respect for those roots.
⚖️ Signs of Third Eye Chakra Imbalance
Your Third Eye is your intuition, your inner vision. When it’s dim, clarity feels out of reach. When it’s too bright, it can be overwhelming.
Underactive Third Eye Chakra
This feels like a fog over your insight. You might notice:
Trouble visualizing or imagining possibilities
Rigid thinking; resistant to new perspectives
Difficulty connecting patterns or planning ahead
Doubting intuition; outsourcing every decision
Mental fatigue; “can’t see the way forward”
Overactive Third Eye Chakra
This feels like psychic overload. You might notice:
Over-interpreting “signs”; chasing constant confirmation
Racing thoughts; analysis spirals; spacing out
Vivid dreams/night wakeups that leave you unsettled
Intrusive imagery or hypervigilance around meaning
Hard time landing in the body or focusing
👉 If more than a few of these resonate, your Third Eye energy may need some attention. (I’ve been on both sides.) If any pattern impacts your well-being, consider support from a qualified professional in addition to chakra work.

🔮 Witchcraft Tools for Third Eye Chakra Healing
Crystals
When I want clarity and insight, these Third Eye crystals are my go-to:

Herbs
These herbs help me deepen inner sight:
Mugwort: opens psychic vision
Star Anise: supports divination and intuition
Mint: sharpens focus and clears the mind
Juniper: protects while journeying inward
Eyebright: strengthens clarity and perception
Safety: Mugwort and juniper are not for pregnancy; avoid ingestion of essential oils; do not use eyebright in the eyes; confirm true star anise (Illicium verum) only—Japanese star anise is toxic. Patch-test; diffuse or diluted topical use only.
Other Tools, Materials and Correspondences
Color: Indigo — mysterious and expansive. Use indigo candles, cloths, or gemstones to open awareness.
Element: Light — incorporate candles, mirrors, or reflective tools to symbolize clarity.
Shape: Spiral — represents inner journeys and intuition. Draw spirals or use them in ritual patterns.
Symbol: Eye — meditate with eye imagery to open awareness.
Deities & Archetypes: Seers, oracles, and wisdom deities align here. Archetypes like the Mystic, the Visionary, or the Seer guide Third Eye work.
