On the 10th day of Yule my witchy scent for you...
Star Anise
(Illicum
verum)
An
ancient herb, the star shape seeds of Star Anise come from an evergreen shrub
and the seedpods are picked just before the fruit ripens and are dried in the
sun. The star shape of the seed lends
itself to all sorts of magical correspondences and representations. They have a
delicious aniseed aroma and taste.
Place
star anise in the corner of each room in your home to bring luck. Keep a whole star anise on your altar to help
keep a spiritual connection. Place a
star anise beneath your pillow to induce prophetic dreams and also to help you
sleep.
Burn
star anise as an incense to purify and protect your home and also to help
increase your psychic powers or wear one in an amulet or pouch to provide
psychic protection and keep away evil.
Make
a sachet of star anise and bay to pop into your bath water to purify and
cleanse your aura and energies.
It
is also a good herb to use in New Moon rituals and spell work along with New
Moon recipe dishes.
