Incense of the day: Pine Foxglove, a plant long associated with the fairies, blooms at this time of year. It is sometimes also called "fairy's thimbles" or in Scottish Gaelic Lus-nam-ban-sith, the "plant of the fairy women." Certain parts of the foxglove can be used for healing remedies, but they must be used very carefully. The plant was also associated with Witches and with a variety of magical spells for love, protection, and success. Use this charm when gathering foxgloves: I will pluck the fairy wort from the fairy bower with expectation to overcome every oppression. Fairy wort, fairy wort, I envy the one who has you. There is nothing the Sun encircles, but to her is a certain victory. |
