On the 7th day of Yule my witchy scent for you...
Ginger
(Zingiber
officinale)
Ginger
is the rhizome from the Zingiber officinale plant, the root can be used fresh
(peel it first) or dried and used as powder.
Sliced
root ginger dropped into hot water with a splash of honey and a sprinkling of
cinnamon makes a delicious drink.
In
some parts of the world it was traditional to chew raw ginger then spit it onto
a diseased are of the body to cure the illness.
Don’t they know it’s rude to spit?
Ginger
does have huge healing properties not just medicinally but also magically so
add it to healing pouches, witches bottles and incense blends.
Ginger
also packs a spicy punch so add it to magical workings to boost the energy and
can also be used to speed things up and bring about a successful outcome. Eat some ginger before your spell work to
increase your magical power. In fact you
can add it to any recipe to boost the magical intent.
Ginger
has a history of being used in love and passion spells so for that romantic
meal spice it up with a hit of ginger.
Make
a simple ginger oil by infusing root ginger into base oil and then anoint your
purse or wallet with the oil to keep money coming in.
Folklore
says that growing a ginger plant from the root placed in water in your home
will attract good health and prosperity.
Hang
a piece of root ginger over your doorway to bring protection to your house and
sprinkled powdered ginger around your property to keep trouble out.
