Myrtle

Myrtle

(Myrtus communis) Also known as Candleberry, Waxberry, Bayberry Tree

Magickal Uses: Traditionally viewed as a love herb, a chaplet of fresh leaves and flowers may be worn when performing love spells. Add to love sachets or spells when wishing to keep love 'alive' and exciting. Wear to increase fertility, but conversely brides, to keep from becoming pregnant to quickly after the wedding, wear it. Drinking a cup of tea, every three days, will preserve youthfulness. It will also preserve love when carried. 

If grown on each side of a house love and peace will reside within and it is a lucky plant to grow in window boxes if a woman plants it.

Myrtle wood can be made into magic charms and carrying the wood helps to retain youthfulness.
