Plants and Floral Essences for this Season.

A shortlist of Plants and Floral Essences for this Christmas season

In the northern winter is beginning to feel, while in the South the seasons are not stopping up, but if we have something in common it is the Christmas season, if you have read the three previous posts that I have published in this season, you know that The focus here is not to promote the eternal debate Pagans vs. Christians, about who has the right or not to celebrate these holidays.

Our approach is to take advantage of this season of family union and celebrations for the realization of spells, charms, and rituals that give strength to our desires to turn them into reality in the course of the solar cycle that is about to begin.

In this quite short post, I will make a special mention of different plants and floral essences that are indispensable for you this season.

The plants

Hedera Helix (the ivy)

Ivy is associated with the gods Osiris and Atis, (both resurrected after death), so it is used to symbolize eternity and resurrection, it is usually used to make crowns in centerpieces or hanging decorations.

(This plant can have high toxicity, so it must be used very carefully.)

Serissa Jap. (the serisa)

La Serisa or "The winter rose", is a small subtropical shrub of small white star-shaped flowers, blooms during the winter in Central Europe and at other times in different parts of Asia, its white flowers symbolize purity and calm.

Schlumbergera (the Christmas cactus)

The Thanksgiving cactus, crab cactus or holiday cactus, the flowers of this cactus are well known in Brazil for their healing powers and a peculiar aroma, it is a plant that can be considered uncommon, but in many countries, it is gaining a relevant position as a plant of Christmas.

Euphorbia pulcherrima (the typical Poinsettia)

The poinsettia is undoubtedly the privileged one and at this time of year, there is no corner, or place where we do not see one. The red of its leaves means luck and fortune for its owners. Placing it next to the entrance door brings very good energy.

Ilex aquifolium (the holly)

The holly symbolizes good fortune and love, its cut branches are used to decorate and create crowns for the doors of the house. It was considered a sacred tree by the ancient Druids, while the pagans of ancient Rome associated it with the god Saturn, whose feast was celebrated from December 25.

Floral essences and Oils

For lovers of oils and aromatic essences, this season I usually recommend floral essences much more than herbal essences, because they feed the spirit of the home with their mostly spring energies and provide an aroma reminiscent of the mother's greenery Spirit.

Special blend

To protect the good energy of the home I advise you to make use of a small bottle of dark glass with sprayer and place in it a light blend with equal parts of oils of sweet tangerine or orange, lemon, cedar, and cinnamon. Mix it well and use it to spray every corner.

Other essences:

Chamomile essential oil to attract peace, calm and balance.

Cinnamon essential oil for protection and good relationships.

Lavender essential oil for harmony and raise your good vibes.

Sandalwood essential oil for spirituality and abundance.

Cedar essential oil to strengthen family relationships during this cycle.

Cypress essential oil for love and good fortune this season.

Tip: If you have already read the previous post on 'how to decorate the table for Christmas Eve dinner' I recommend using these oils with a sprayer or a special oil burner to aromatize the space before it heals and create an energy-laden atmosphere peace and joy.
