rosemaryAlso known as compass weed, incensier, and pilgrim’s flower, tame rosemary thrives best when a woman is in charge of the household. It is an excellent incense and purifier; when burned it drives away evil spirits and negativity, and when stored next to other dried herbs cleanses them of negative influence.It is most popularly used within the household. Rosemary grown, or dried and hung, by a doorpost will deter would-be thieves. When hung in twigs above a bed it is also a protection against spirits, and was used in Ireland to protect a child from being stolen by faeries.Due to its cleansing nature, it also aids to dispel grief, anger, hatred, and bitterness. If a person’s heart is a cold one, burn a sprig of rosemary in a candle whilst thinking of that person. Or, to receive the answer to a question, take seven sprigs of rosemary and burn over charcoal whilst asking what you wish to know. -- source link
