I have several roses now flowering in my
garden so I thought I would share the correspondences and uses with you!
Gender: Feminine
Planet: Venus
Element: Water
Powers: Love, Psychic Powers, Healing, Love
Divination, Luck, Protection
Roses can be used in fascinations, charms,
medicine bags, incense and all sorts of spells.
Roses are traditionally used in love
mixtures and are associated with emotions.
Rose hips can be used as well.
Rosebud tea drunk before bedtime helps to
induce prophetic dreams.
Rose petals and rose hips can both be used
in healing spells, fast luck mixtures and can be carried to bring personal protection. Sprinkle rose petals around your home to
bring calm and peace to the household.
I love to use rose petals to cast a circle
for ritual too.
Don’t forget that faeries love roses in
your garden too!
You can use colour magic to increase their
uses:
White roses – purity and all purpose.

knowledge.
