Rosemary has always been one of my favourite plants since I was a child, and not just because of the magic my Nan used to tell me it had.

I would collect the best smelling parts of the Rosemary bush and then pop them into a unique potion bottle with water and just leave them there. I never knew why it would go mouldy and why the water never smelled like the Rosemary I placed in there, but I just knew I loved the plant. It wasn’t until I was older that I started looking into the uses of Rosemary, both mundane and magical, that I truly started to appreciate it.

Rosemary is known for its properties of mental clarity, memory, and protection, making it a staple in my practice. Here’s what I’ve gathered over the years.
