Origin & Lore

This is a single-note oil named for the strawberry, the fruit of the Fragaria plant that grows wild across Europe and the Americas. In magickal herbals it is placed under Venus and Water, and it is worked for love, luck and fertility, its sweetness drawing in what you want.

With its heart shape and red colour, the strawberry has been read as a fruit of Venus for centuries.

In Christian art the strawberry, with its three-lobed leaves and white flowers, was a symbol of the Virgin Mary and of righteousness, and it appears in paintings of paradise gardens. Modern magickal herbals recommend carrying strawberry leaves for luck, and the leaves decorate the coronets of English dukes and earls.
