The pine tree is an evergreen and is known for
its ability to cleanse the personal environment.
It is one of the seven chieftain trees of the Irish.
There are numerous ways it can be used. To
purify and sanctify an outdoor ritual area,
brush the ground with a branch of pine wood;
for the home or indoors, mix the dried needles
with equal parts of juniper and cedar and burn
(this leaves quite an exceptional odour). The
cones and nuts can be carried as a fertility
charm, while a cleansing and stimulating bath
can be prepared by placing a few handfuls of
pine needles in a loose-woven bag. To make
things easier you could, of course, use a few
drops of the essential oil in running water.
Pine is very efficacious when used with other
herbs and incenses to accumulate wealth, as
shown in the incense below.
