Each week I have been drawing an oracle card from my Flower Magic deck, today it was Violet which signifies ‘support’. So, I am sharing the card along with other herbs, plants, foods, tarot cards and crystals that correspond with the intent of support. There is a video at the bottom of this blog post if you would like to watch and listen to the recording of my live talk.
Work with these suggestions as a guide, trust your intuition and use what you have to hand.
Candle spells, witch bottles, spell pouches or spells of any kind can benefit from using herbs, plants and crystals. Tarot and oracle cards can be used as focal point for spell work or meditation.
Be creative!
VIOLET – Support
Violet
(Viola odorata)
A spring flowering plant, the leaves are heart shaped with pretty purple or white flowers that the bees love.
White violets represent innocence and humility. Blue violets stand for loyalty, consistency and steadfastness.
Carry a violet with you to ease your heart from unrequited love (ahhhhhh).
Keep violets in your home or plant in your garden to bring about peace, healing and protection.
Use violets in all kinds of love and lust workings and don’t be fooled by their size, for a small flower they pack a powerful punch of magic.
Violets also remind us to be true to ourselves and to be committed to what we do.
Violets are also associated with death and rebirth (the myth of Attis and the story of Persephone).
