Chamomile

my favorite herb... the flowers smell so wonderful!

Anthemis Noblis ~Sun~Magickal Herbe...Religious Herbe

LORE:
Chamomile is a venerable herbe with a well-established reputation as a
healer. It was believed that it brought health to one's gardens and promoted
healing energies which were good for all plant species. Whereas centaury is
a patron herbe for herbalists, chamomile is a patron herbe for the gardens.

Usage:
The strong association chamomile has with the Sun is an underlying
indication of its modern usage. Through incense or ritual drink it is used
to assist a priest's call upon a Sun God (working with any of the solar
deities). Some traditions have also used chamomile at Midsummer to give
honor to the Father of Nature.

Useful in solar holidays, chamomile has been incorporated into Yule
traditions. The options are endless, ranging from using it as a bathing
herbe for the male chosen to represent the newly born Sun to powdering it
and spooning onto burning coals to cense the temple area and prepare it for
a celebration of solar magick.

Chamomile, though not commonly recognized for it's magick, carries the
magick of success and may be included in most recipes.
