It doesn’t
matter how much you ate at lunch time or how many helpings of pudding you had
there is always room for a Clementine or Satsuma…
Orange
(Citrus ×
sinensis)
The orange
coloured citrus fruit, you know the one.
The orange
is a fruit of the sun, a fruit of love and happiness and a fruit with an
enlightening and uplifting scent.
During the
19th Century to give a gift of an orange was thought to be generous and
thoughtful. (Just for the record I
prefer gifts of chocolate).
The orange
is good for purifying the mind, body and spirit. Orange juice makes a good ritual drink and
orange peel makes a good herbal tea to help bring about clarity and energy.
Dried orange
peel also works well in incense blends to represent the energy of the sun but
doesn’t smell particularly good when burnt, try dropping a few orange peels
into an oil burner with a base oil to release the scent.
Oranges are
sacred to the god of earth and air, Enlil.
Orange water
can be used to flavour dishes especially if you are entertaining a loved
one. Bathe in orange water to attract a
marriage candidate.
Set out
orange water as an offering to the deities Hera and Juno for marriage and
fidelity.
