Magical Uses

The ultimate in love wishes,

this will aid in bringing a true lasting

love and help to mend any spats

between you in an already committed relationship.

The petals can be bathed with

while thinking a new love to you,

the dried flowers are burned in love wishes.

Sleeping with the flowers will

protect your dreams.

Carry a sachet or amulet for protection against

bodily injury or when working healing wishes.

Roses have long been used in love mixtures,

owing to the flowers’ association with the emotions.

A chaplet of roses worn when performing love spells

(remove the thorns), or a single rose in a vase

on the alter, are powerful love magic aids.

Rose water distilled from the petals

is added to love baths.

Rose Hips (the fruit of the rose) are

strung and worn as love-attracting beads.

A tea of rosebuds drunk before sleep

induces prophetic dreams.

To discover their romantic future,

women used to take three green rose leaves

and name each for one of their lovers.

The one that stayed green the longest answered

the question of “Which One?”

Rose petals and hips are used in healing spells

and mixtures, and rosewater saturated cloth

laid to the temples will relieve headache pain.

Roses are added to fast-luck mixtures and, when

carried, act as personal protectants.

Rose petals sprinkled around the house

calm personal stress and household upheavals.

Roses planted in the garden attract fairies, and

are said to grow best when stolen.
