    Astrological planet: Sun

magickal correspondences and uses:

    Incense: Rosemary incense or herb is appropriate for burning in love spells, such as the Aphrodite New Moon love spell, Hecate black candle love spell, or Isis Full Moon love spell.

    Gender: masculine (traditional western European magickal gender)

    Western element: fire

    Magickal uses: conscious mind, fidelity, memory retention, purification, responsibility, youthful energy

    Love bath: A love bath is a safe and easy way for anyone to cast a love ritual. Rosemary is used in Scott Cunningham’s love bath number two and love bath number three. See the article on love baths for more information.

    Solar spells: Rosemary (as herb or essential oil) may be used in as an ingredient or substitute for magick spells and formulas related to solar matters (healing, illumination, magickal power, physical energy, protection, success, and putting an end to legal matters). Be careful about substitutions for preparations that will be ingested or come in contact with the skin. These substitutions do not apply to medical uses. See the article on the Sun for a list of herbal substitutes for rosemary.

    Using essential oils: Essential oils are just too concentrated and too expensve to use without dilution. If you purchase pure essential oil from a source such as Mountain Rose, you will want to place just a drop or two into a neutral carrier vegetable oil or jojoba. This conservation is typical of the use of essential oils in spells and other magick. It is wise to test a bit of any essential oil on your inner wrist before use. If any irritation occurs, do not use the essential oil. Keep essential oils out of reach of children and pets and away from heat and light. See the article on essential oils for detailed information on how to mix and use essential oils.

    Love spells: Rosemary flowers are appropriate for use in love spells, such as the Aphrodite New Moon love spell.

    Magick food for love spells: Rosemary is an appropriate ingredient for use in food for love spells, such as the Aphrodite New Moon love spell, Hecate black candle love spell, or Isis Full Moon love spell. See the article on foods for more information on using food magick in spells.

    Bottle of Protection: Make a Witch’s bottle of protection by filling a glass jar with such items as pins, needles, screws, hemp twine, broken or shattered glass, mirror shards, rose thorns, and rosemary. Seal the jar with the melted wax from a red candle. Bury the bottle of protection in your garden.

    Magickal substitutions: Rosemary usually may be safely substituted for any herb in magick spells and rituals. Roses may safely be substituted for any flower.

herbal healing:

    Rosemary contains rosmarinic acid, C18H16O8, is a natural polyphenol antioxidant carboxylic acid (an ester of caffeic acid with 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl lactic acid), found in such herbs as lemon balm, rosemary, oregano, sage, thyme and peppermint. Rosmarinic acid is antiviral, antibacterial, antiinflammatory and antioxidant. Eating foods spiced with herbs containing rosmarinic acid provides the body with a natural sun screen that can help cut the risk of skin cancer and sunburn.
