Origin & Lore

Lavender is a Mediterranean shrub in the mint family, grown for its fragrant purple flowers, with Provence in France its most famous growing region. It has long been used in washing, in linen and in sachets. In magickal practice it is ruled by Mercury and used for clarity of mind, peace, cleansing and love.

Lavender has scented washing water, linen cupboards and love sachets for centuries, and witches have never stopped using it.

Lavender was strewn on floors and laid in linen in medieval and Tudor households, and it was a fixture of the herb gardens of monasteries. Its folk name elf leaf appears in modern herbals of magick.
