People lean heavily into the sages, cedar, and juniper, but rosemary is one of the strongest cleansing and purifying herbs to use. It not only cleanses, but also protects property and the people on it. Rosemary is a primary ingredient in the Fiery Wall of Protection oil and spray that I make. Plant rosemary, a sturdy and forgiving bushy herb, outside your home to convey its protection to the house and grounds.
Rosemary is one of the oldest components used in incense, along with Frankincense and Myrrh. Placing a sprig of rosemary under the pillow or spraying the bed linens with rosemary scent eases sleep disruptions and specifically, nightmares and night terrors.
Bathing in a rosemary infused bath not only conveys protective energy, but also heightens memory retention. Shakespeare even says rosemary is for “remembrance.” It is sometimes used in funereal incenses to help attendees retain the best memories of the loved one who has passed.
Wash your hands in rosemary water before you perform any healing action or energy work.
To find the answer to a nagging question, burn a bit of rosemary and relax into a calm mind and the answer will come to you.
