MAGICAL USES
Used primarily in attracting
a powerful passionate love.
Burned for new business growth and placed
in the garden to help it grow healthy.
Worn in a sachet or an oil for fertility.
Used with other Earth element herbs
for divination and increasing psychic awareness.
Patchouli smells like rich earth, and so has been
used in money and prosperity mixtures and spells.
It is sprinkled onto money, added to purses and
wallets, and placed around the base of green candles.
Owing to its earthiness, patchouly is used
in fertility talismans, and is substituted
fot 'graveyard dust' where it is called for.
Patchouli is added to love sachets and baths.
Although in contemporary American
voodoo-based herbal magic patchouli is
used for "seperation," this is a modern
concept and has no long tradition.
In point of fact, patchouli is actually used
to attract people and to promote lust.
This points to differences in herb magic practices.
