New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| As winter wanes and the first new green shoots of grass begin to rise, small pots of primroses begin to appear in garden centers and DIY stores everywhere. These pretty flowers lighten my heart, and I always buy some to fill flower boxes and to tuck around my garden.
Plant primroses in your garden to attract the fae and safeguard your property, or carry a pressed primrose blossom with you to ensure a safe journey. Primroses have long been associated with children. According to folklore, placing the dried blossoms on children's bedding will ensure their respect for their elders. Since primroses are also associated with protection and pleasant dreams, here is a spell to encourage sleep for your little one. Place a pot of bright primroses on the nightstand near your child's bed and have them say: "First rose of spring, Pleasant dreams I seek, And protection this night as I sleep. Blessed be!" |
