Lavender
Folk Names: Elf Leaf, Nard, Nardus, Spike
Gender: Masculine; Element: Air; Planet: Mercury
Folk Lore - Lavender has long been used in love spells & sachets. Clothing
rubbed with the fragrant flowers attracts love and places a positive glow around
you. A piece of paper rubbed with lavender can be treasured by the recipient for
some time. Lavender is known to even protect against cruel treatment, mainly
from the hands of a spouse. These delicate flowers are burned or smoldered to
induce sleep and are scattered about the home to maintain its peacefulness. It
is said the plant is so powerful that, if when depressed, one gazes upon the
plant all sorrow will depart & a joyous feeling will settle upon the observer.
Indeed, the odor of Lavender is conducive to long life & so should be smelled as
often as possible if this is a concern. Lavender is used in recipes to aid in
healing, purification baths, carried to see ghosts and worn to protect against
the evil eye. Despite the association of lavender to love, in the Renaissance it
was believed that lavender together with rosemary, if worn, would preserve a
women's chastity. A wish divination: place lavender under your pillow while
thinking of your wish. Do this just prior to retiring for the night. In the
morning, if you have dreamt of anything relating to your wish, it may come true.
However, if you did not dream, or if they were unconnected with your wish, it
will not come true.
