Rosmarinus officinalus
The scientific name of rosemary means “dew of the sea,” unsurprising given the evergreen shrub's sharp, fresh, cooling perfume. It is useful in Water magick and has associations with the Moon. In Rome, it was a traditional offering garland; it is still traditionally thought of as a faeries' herb in Mediterranean countries.
Uses for the Body. A powerful protective nature and a cleansing, invigorating scent make rosemary a superb choice for houses where residents are recovering from illnesses.
Uses for the Mind. Rosemary was once an ingredient used in rubs for nervous paralysis, and this property also makes it effective when you are unable to take a first step, or tied down by fear and worry. It strengthens the memory and calms wild thoughts.
Uses for the Spirit. Associated with fixed stars, rosemary is a scent that is perfect for guiding you as you journey on the seas of the unconscious. Grow it outside your bedroom window or use it in a dream pillow.
