Yarrow flowers are used in rituals involving love, courage or healing. Hanging
a bundle of dried yarrow flowers over the honeymoon bed is a traditional charm
to ensure a long and loving marriage.
If you are trying to re-establish contact with long-lost friends or relatives,
encorporate yarrow into your spells to draw their attention to you. Carrying
yarrow flowers with you will help give you courage and dispel fear. A small
charm bag with yarrow might be handy before giving a speech, or going to a job
interview.
In myth, yarrow was the plant that Achilles used to heal the wounds of his
soldiers. The Latin name (/Achillea/) for yarrow comes from this story.
