Calendula (Calendula officinalis)

Appearance and Origin:
Calendula, often referred to as "Pot Marigold," is a bright and cheerful flower that ranges from golden yellow to vibrant orange in color. Native to Southern Europe, this hardy plant has long been celebrated for its beauty, symbolism, and versatility in herbal traditions. Its petals are often used in teas, salves, and magical workings due to their vibrant energy and associations with the sun.

Metaphysical and Magical Properties:
Protection: Calendula is commonly used in spells to protect against negativity and unwanted influences. Placing dried petals near entryways is believed to ward off harmful energies.
Happiness and Joy: Known for its sunny appearance, Calendula is associated with bringing joy, light, and positivity into one’s life. It is often included in rituals to lift the spirits or attract warmth and happiness.
Healing Energy: This herb is thought to encourage emotional and spiritual healing, making it ideal for use in rituals focused on self-care or overcoming difficulties.
Love and Attraction: Calendula petals are often used in love spells and charm bags to inspire affection, admiration, and connection.
Prophetic Dreams: Placing Calendula under your pillow is said to enhance prophetic dreams and help with dream interpretation.

Usage Notes:
Teas and Infusions: Calendula petals can be steeped into teas for rituals of healing, cleansing, or self-love. They are often used to purify the body and spirit.
Baths and Floor Washes: Adding Calendula to ritual baths or floor washes can help cleanse spaces and energy, welcoming positivity and light.
Decorative Magic: The vibrant petals can be used to decorate altars, charm bags, or spell jars to infuse them with solar energy.
