Yarrow Flower

Yarrow Flower is cut, and sold by the ounce.

Yarrow Flower is of Venus. Can be used to stop bleeding and relieve toothaches. Yarrow Flower is a pungent perennial with clusters of flat, white to pinkish, flowers rising on tall stalks. A mat of grayish green fern like leaves grow along the stems.

In Greek mythology, Yarrow Flower grew from the rust that Achilles scraped from his spear to help heal a man he had wounded. Perhaps this myth is why in the language of flowers, yarrow can mean war or healing.

Because it is aromatic, Yarrow Flower is often associated with the Element of Air, and it contains the planetary metal for Jupiter, but it is traditionally connected to Venus because of the usefulness of the fresh herb as a poultice in skin problems.

Yarrow Flower also has the ability to potentiate other herbs when added to incense or when incorporated into love magick. It is put into love sachets, because it is believed capable of keeping a couple together for seven years.
