Tomato
(Solanum lycopersicum)
There are so many varieties of the tomato from tiny cherry ones to huge beefsteak and all sorts of wonderful colours.
The tomato has often been referred to as the ‘love apple’ so in that regard along with being ruled by Venus and water it works well in all recipes and meals to share with a loved one, the seeds can also be dried and used in love spell work, I say use the seeds because using a tomato in a medicine pouch would be terribly squishy and messy…
The tomato is sacred to Venus, Aphrodite and Hera.
Keep a tomato on your windowsill to stop negative energy from entering your home.
Eating tomatoes inspires love and passion but also creativity.
