Hyacinth by Gypsy Willowmoon
Hyacinthus orientalis.
A bulb which
produces highly scented very pretty flowers, in a mixture of colours: pink, purple,
white and yellow, on stems that come up from between long green leaves in early
spring.
According to
Gerald's Herbal - The roots can be beaten and applied with white wine, hinder
or keep back the growth of hairs...
Ruling planet:
Venus
Element:
Water
Gender:
Feminine
Magical properties:
Love, Happiness, peace, sleep, nightmares & abundance.
Hyacinths
scent can bring a sense of peace, happiness and calm (or hay fever...)
Keep in your
bedroom to aid a good night’s sleep and keep away nightmares. Guards against
nightmares when used as an oil, burned as incense, or included in dream
pillows.
Use the
petals dried, in spell work for love and abundance or crystal grids or pot
pourri or incense...
The smoke
from hyacinth incense can aid crossing the etheric planes.
Worked with
as a de- hexing smudge, helping to rid of negative energies, whilst replacing
with positive energies - As the final smudge used.
Can also be
used in uncrossing spells.
Can be made
into a perfume to wear on Saturdays, as Hyacinth corresponds to Saturday.
Roses may be
safely used in place of any flower in ritual or spell work.
Named for
Hiakinthos, Greek God of homosexual love, this is the patron herb for gay men.
Carry in
amulet or sachet to ease grief or the pain of childbirth.
