ROSEMARY ~ Small Bag

Magical Properties of Rosemary

Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus, formerly Rosmarinus officinalis) is one of the most powerful and versatile herbs in magical tradition. Revered across Mediterranean, European, and folk practices, rosemary is associated with protection, purification, memory, love, and spiritual clarity.

Often called a “universal substitute herb,” rosemary can stand in for many other herbs when needed — especially in protective and cleansing work.
