Magical Properties of Flowers →
For hundreds of years, the plants that we grow have been used in magic. Flowers in particular are often connected with a variety of magical uses. Now that spring is here, keep an eye out for some of these flowers around you, and consider the different magical applications they might have.
- Crocus: This flower is one of the first you’ll see in the spring, and it’s often associated with newly blooming love. The crocus is also known to enhance visions and bring about intuitive dreams.
- Daffodil: The bright petals of the daffodil are typically found in shades of white, yellow or even pale orange. This flower is associated with love and fertility — place fresh ones in your home to bring about abundance. Wear this flower close to your heart to draw love and luck.
- Cowslip: The fragrance has healing properties.
- Dandelion: The leaf of the dandelion is used for healing, purificaiton, and ritual cleansing. To bring positive change about, plant dandelions in the northwest corner of your property. The bright yellow flowers can be used in divination, or placed in a sachet to draw good energy your way.
- Echinacea: Also called purple coneflower, this garden mainstay adds a little bit of magical “oomph” to charmes and sachets. Use it for prosperity related workings. Burn the dried flowers in incense, and use on your altar during ritual as an offering to deities.
- Goldenseal: This sunny yellow flower is often found growing in the wild, alongside roads and in fields. Use it in money spells, or for business dealings. Work it into charms connected to matters of financial gain or legal issues.
- Hibiscus: This lusty flower incites passion — use it to attract love or lust, or for prophetic dreams about your lover. Burn in incense, or carry in a sachet to bring love your way. Red Hibiscus flowers are used in love potions and placed in wreaths in marriage ceremonies.
- Hyacinth: This flower was named for Hyakinthos, a Greek divine hero who was beloved by Apollo, so it’s sometimes considered the patron herb of homosexual men. Hyacinth is also known to promote peaceful sleep, and guards against nightmares. Carry in an amulet to help heal a broken heart or to ease grief when a loved one dies.
- Lily: The Easter lily or Tiger lily is associated with all kinds of Spring connections — fertility, rebirth, renewal and abundance.
- Marigold or Calendula: Add calendula to your bath to win the respect and admiration of your peers. String garlands of calendula around the outside doors to stop evil from entering the house.
- Morning Glory: Morning Glory seeds under your pillow will stop nightmares. Grown in the garden, blue morning glories will bring peace and happiness.
- Narcissus: Named for another Greek figure, the Narcissus helps promote polarity and harmony. Its calming vibrations bring about tranquility and inner peace.
- Passion Flower: Placed in a house, it calms problems and troubles and brings peace. Carried, it attracts friends and popularity. Placed beneath the pillow, it aids in sleep.
- Rose: Used in love and harmony spells. Roses planted in your garden will attract fairies. Rose petals sprinkled around the house will calm stress and reduce household upheavals.
- Snapdragon: Place a vase of fresh snapdragons on the altar while performing protective rituals. If someone has sent you negativity energy (hexes, curses, etc.), place some snapdragons on the altar with a mirror behind them to send the negative energy back to the sender.
- St. John’s Wort: wards off fevers and cold when worn; burn to banish evil spirits; gather it on a Friday and wear it to cure melancholy — (also known as Hypericum).
- Sunflower: Sunflowers growing the garden guard it against pests and grant the best of luck to the gardener.
- Tulip: The tulip appears in many different colors and varieties, but is typically connected to prosperity. You can use the different colored variations in color magic — use a dark strain such as Queen of the Night for full moon rituals, or bright red flowers for love magic.
- Violet: In Roman myth, the first violet sprung from the spilled blood of the god Attis, who killed himself for Cybele, the mother goddess. However, today the violet is associated with tranquility and peace. The leaf offers protection from evil, and can be sewn into a pillow or sachet for a new baby. Carry the petals with you to bring about luck and enhance nighttime magic.

My home got trashed by a tree/tornado
On the 18th at 9am a tree decided it would land in my house almost cracking it in half and flooding 2 1/2 rooms.I think it mistook me for the Wicked Witch Of The West.The Red Cross helped us a little bit putting us up in a hotel for 3 nights and giving us food money for the 3 days.
My cousin bust her butt to find us a rent house so we wouldn’t be homeless,the gov did NOTHING to help up.Salvation Army told us to go stay at a homeless shelter,fuck them I’m not going to go stay in a homeless shelter with rapist and psychos and also leave my pets I don’t know where!

And THANKS to everybody who has helped so far!
We are now safe and sound in a rent house but the clean up to salvage our undamaged stuff and salvage our sanity has been a bit of a ordeal.
I’m just going to cut and paste some of my FB post here so I don’t have to retype it.so if things seem a bit disjointed that is why.
I forgot some of you may know what I was talking about in the last post.The Louisiana weather,a tornado put a tree through my living room and kitchen at 9am when we were sleeping.So the red cross put us up in a hotel for a few days we are all ok including the pets.We are just a little freaked out.I guess me and mom are used to dealing with dramatic situations.The worse part is having to know I will have to go back in there and clean up the flooded mess in the living room and kitchen and once we find out WTF we will do for a house and move the belongings to where we end up.Yes it’s a shitty situation but we both feel lucky because by some streak of luck Oya was watching out for us and nobody including the pets were hurt.Which is amazing that nobody got hurt because it was like a 4 story tree that got ripped in half and the top put through the kitchen and living room.
Just a quick note *i’m on my crappy laptop with a broken screen and the connections is slow here.* .Red cross has put us up in a hotel for 3 days and then we have to contact salvation army for long term help.My cousin Torrey is calling around to them about it for us and the red cross folks came to the house.So maybe the Salvation Army will help us out and we won’t need help .It’s presidents day to…morrow and then mardi gras so I don’t know if that will make things take longer.Thankfully nobody was hurt other then my feet having a few cuts from darting under the fallen in roof to see if squirrel was ok.And the way and the rooms it fell in there was nothing of major value in there the kitchen and living room is where the tree came through,in the living the roof was about 4 feet from the ground but the only thing that got damaged was like the shitty sofa that we were going to throw out anyway and the tree missed the metal tool cabinet I keep my dolls ect in.It just dented the top of that very little so the doors can’t shut all the way and nothing happened to things like the computer or even any of our clothing ect since it hit the middle of the house which was really good.We are just waiting to see what the sal army says I don’t know what they do for you since this is one of the few dramatic situations we havn’t been in.LOLThe red cross people were super nice and put us up for 3 nights in a hotel and they give you a debit card with 100.00 on it so you can get food and whatever you need.Which was great all I had was 9.00 to my name.So because of that we had money to get food ect.I’ll keep everybody posted what is going on.Like I said thankfully nobody was hurt and nothing of big value was broken which is likely because we don”t have anything of value.LOL.About the only thing I have that is worth anything is my art and art from friends.Even though a tree almost put the damn roof on the floor the doll cabinet where I keep the stuff I have for sale wasn’t hurt the top of it just got dented so the doors don’t totally shut together and I had some dolls on my mom’s work desk on the other side and they were fine.The dolls save their own asses .LOL Anyhoo we are all ok and all the pets are ok.Miss Squirrel is loose in the bathroom and she has her little pink tee pee so she’s all good.I just feel bad she doesn’t have her window to look out of and I can’t really let her look out the window in the room because I think they frown upon having wild squirrels in hotel rooms.So I don’t want to get busted by letting her leer at the window.
The whole town got it’s butt kicked.
My cousin why works for the housing authority has been calling the salvation army,the red cross and also 211 all day and of course nobody can help us and fema won’t get involved because even though the town was hit pretty hard the president didn’t declare it a disaster zone.I’d like to relocate to austion since we have been planning on moving there to get out of this insane weather hell hole but I doubt anybody will assist with that and it also sucks fema won’t help.
