MAGICKAL USES

• Lavender has long been used in love spells and sachets.
• Clothing rubbed with the fragrant flowers (or Lavender placed in drawers with clothes) attracts love.
• A piece of paper on which you've rubbed Lavender is excellent
  for writing love notes.
• The scent of Lavender particularly attracts men, and Lavender water or the essential oil was worn by prostitutes several centuries ago to both advertise their profession as well as to attracts (through
  magic)
  customers.
• Lavender also protects against cruel treatment at the hands of a spouse if worn.
  The flowers are also burned or smouldered to induce sleep and rest, and are scattered about the home to
  maintain its peacefulness. The plant is so powerful that, if when depressed, one
  gazes upon the plant all sorrow will depart and a joyous will settle upon the
  observer.
  
• The odour of Lavender is conducive to long life, and should be smelled as often as possible.
• Lavender is also used in healing mixtures, carried to see ghosts and worn to protect against the evil eye. It is added to purification baths.
  
• Despite Lavender's love associations, in the Renaissance it was believed that lavender together with rosemary, if worn, would preserve a woman's chastity.
  
• A wish divination: Place Lavender under your pillow while thinking of your wish. Do this just prior to retiring for the night. In the morning, if you have dreamt of anything
  relating to your wish, it will come true. However, if you did not dream, or if
  they were unconnected with your wish, it will not manifest.
