Honeysuckle oil (Espiritu blend)

Honeysuckle climbs by wrapping itself around other plants, and that grip made it a symbol of devoted love.

Origin & Traditional Use

Honeysuckle is the common name for Lonicera, a climbing shrub with sweet-scented flowers once called woodbine in England. Because it twines so tightly around its support, it became an emblem of faithful, binding love. In magickal practice it is used for love, sweetness, prosperity and gentle psychic opening.
