The Magick of Rosemary

Rosemary is associated with Hebe and Aphrodite.

Rosemary can be used to ward to ward off evil spirits and nightmares.

In France, Rosemary was burnt with Juniper berries to purify the air in hospitals.

During the Middle Ages, it was hung around the neck to protect from the plague.

Carrying a sprig of rosemary protects from the evil eye.

Rosemary attracts Faeries and good luck.

A bundle of rosemary is hung over cradles to prevent Faeries from stealing infants.

Rosemary is an embalming and sacred herb in Egypt.

Rosemary is also sacred to Greeks.

Rosemary can be used in spells for fidelity and remembrance as well as to get rid of jealousy.

Rosemary can be used for ritual baths and for making herbal water for ritual cleansing, blessing, and purification.

Taking a rosemary bath will enhance your memory.

Burn rosemary incense when you are meditating or doing dream work.  

Place rosemary under your pillow to help you remember your dreams and to keep away nightmares and any unwanted night visitations.

Rosemary is a protective herb and can be used to make a protection wreath that keeps evil out.

Rosemary is also associated with love, friendship, and remembrance.

Use rosemary in spells that help boost your memory.

In England, it was burned in the homes of those who had died from illness, and placed on coffins before the grave was filled with dirt.

Burn rosemary to rid a home of negative energy, or as an incense while you meditate.

Hang a bundle above your door to keep evil and unwanted visitors out of your house.

How to Feel Like an Ethereal Priest/Priestess ♡✨

- Embrace the everyday notion of “πανεμορφη,” or “panemorfi” (the Greek term for “beautiful”), finding the exquisite within all that you possibly can 

- Seek out opportunities for ritual in your everyday life, allowing space for more moments of reflection, gratitude, and strengthening 

-  Search for messages from your dreams - forming a prophetic bond with your own soul and intuition - and write your ideas + visions down in a special notebook

- In Roman Numerals, write your favourite/lucky number on your wrist, to use as a power booster in times of anxiety 

- Draw yourself a fancy Epsom Salt bath, purifying your body and elminiating yourself of toxins

- Liken your creativity to a muscle, needing to be exercised in whichever artistic and unique form of expression that may take (poetry, dancing, art, meditation, charitability)

- Keep a special golden candle to burn when you wish to let yourself feel extra-courageous, remembering that the colour gold is associated heavily with feelings of magic and passion. Carve a triangle into the wax, symbolising evenly distributed strength! ~
