Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Chamomile Anthemis Noblis ~Sun~Magickal Herbe...Religious Herbe LORE: Chamomile is a venerable herbe with a well-established reputation as a healer. It was believed that it brought health to one's gardens and promoted healing energies which were good for all plant species. Whereas centaury is a patron herbe for herbalists, chamomile is a patron herbe for the gardens. Usage: The strong association chamomile has with the Sun is an underlying indication of its modern usage. Through incense or ritual drink it is used to assist a priest's call upon a Sun God (working with any of the solar deities). Some traditions have also used chamomile at Midsummer to give honor to the Father of Nature. Useful in solar holidays, chamomile has been incorporated into Yule traditions. The options are endless, ranging from using it as a bathing herbe for the male chosen to represent the newly born Sun to powdering it and spooning onto burning coals to cense the temple area and prepare it for a celebration of solar magick. Chamomile, though not commonly recognized for it's magick, carries the magick of success and may be included in most recipes. .

Today, the plant is still considered a powerful healing agent with many magical properties. Sage is often used during the month of May, along with butter and parsley, to promote a healthy body. Also sage ale, when drunk in May, will encourage good health. This multifunctional plant can be used to cure warts if fresh leaves are applied to the affected area. The leaves can also be used as a poultice to cure wounds and sores.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Aromatherapy, herbs, natural living, etcPaula or anyone, Re: the flowering of your herbs/flowers. Try sprinkling a little epsom salts around your bed of chamomile or any flower/herb that you want to flower. Found out last week that in order for plants to put on flowers or keep them on, the soil needs phosphate. The nursery lady told me to sprinkle epsom salts in lue of the store bought chemicals. I know, epsom salts is magnesium...but that is what she told me, and my tomatoes are now flowering instead of being great big tomatoe bushes.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 The thing that gets me is that everything else around it is growing just fine. Even have a few tomatoes that came from I don't know where ! For the past couple years I've noticed less and less chamomile. When I first planted it all, it took another year before they really took hold and started growing and spreading. They grew great for a few years and then I noticed that less and less of it was coming back Paula ....... in Michigan www.farmfreshsoapsandcandles.com farmfreshsoapsandcandles > RE: Chamomile > > Aromatherapy, herbs, natural living, etcPaula or anyone, > Re: the flowering of your herbs/flowers.
