Clove Buds can be used in your magical teas, incense blends and spells.
Strength, Boundaries, Courage
Clove is the dried flower bud of Syzygium aromaticum, an evergreen tree native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. These aromatic buds are small, brown, and tapered, packed with essential oils that give them a distinct warm, spicy scent. The tree thrives in tropical climates, producing glossy green leaves and clusters of pink flower buds that turn deep red when ready for harvest.
Magical Properties
Clove is a powerful protector, often used to create energetic boundaries and ward off negativity. Burned as incense or carried in sachets, it shields against unwanted influences and strengthens personal resolve. Traditionally associated with courage, clove is used in spells and rituals to enhance confidence, break through fears, and attract prosperity. It aligns with the element of fire, fuelling motivation and determination.
Medicinal Properties
Clove is renowned for its potent antiseptic, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties. It has been used for centuries to relieve toothaches, freshen breath, and aid digestion. The high concentration of eugenol in clove oil makes it effective for numbing pain and reducing inflammation. Clove tea or infusions may help alleviate nausea, boost circulation, and support immune function.
Historical Properties
Clove has been highly valued throughout history, with records of its trade dating back to 200 BCE. This spice was a prized commodity along the ancient Silk Road, sought after by Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern traders. It played a crucial role in the European spice trade during the 15th and 16th centuries, leading to colonization and conflicts over clove-producing islands.
