Elder Flowers

Elder is intimately connected with magic. Many people believed that the elder tree was a holy tree and that anyone who harmed the tree would incur a run of bad luck and illness. It is used to protect yourself from spiritual and physical attacks, to protect a marriage and maintain fidelity and for physical healing.

Sprinkle Elderflower on top of a protection candle to add extra power. Dress an Uncrossing candle in Uncrossing oil and roll in Elderflower for potency. Make a tea to add to your bath water to help heal spiritual and emotional issues. Place in your bedroom to maintain fidelity.
