Blue Cornflower can be used in your magical teas, bath soaks, incense blends and spells.
Blue Cornflower, scientifically known as Centaurea cyanus, is a striking annual plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, known for its vivid blue, daisy-like flowers, although you might occasionally find them in pink, white, or purple. Native to Europe, it typically reaches heights of up to 90 cm (35 inches) and features slender, grey-green leaves. Blue cornflower has a light sweet smell and ‘barely-there’ taste.
In the magical realm, Blue Cornflower is connected with clarity, communication, and psychic abilities. Often used in rituals and spells to enhance intuition and insight, its vibrant blue hue is linked to the throat and third-eye chakras. Practitioners might incorporate dried cornflower petals in sachets, baths, or teas to inspire eloquence and visionary experiences. Additionally, it is believed to attract positive energy, making it a popular choice for altar offerings and magical gardens. In folklore, the flower is associated with love and fidelity, symbolizing true love and reliability.
Blue Cornflower has been utilized for its gentle medicinal properties. Known for its anti-inflammatory and astringent qualities, it has been used in herbal remedies to treat minor wounds, skin irritations, and eye ailments like conjunctivitis. The petals can be infused into teas to help with digestive issues and reduce fever. Additionally, Blue Cornflower contains beneficial compounds such as flavonoids and anthocyanins, which contribute to its soothing and healing effects when used topically or internally. A blue ink and dye is obtained from the petals, and gives a lovely colour to linen. Also commonly used in potpourri to add colour.
