Herb
Bur Marigold
Parts Used: Arial parts
Collection: The whole of the plant above ground should be collected when in flower between July and September.
Though little used today, Bur Marigold has a reputation as a valuable astringent used for hemorrhage wherever it occurs. It may be used for fevers and water retention when this is due to a problem in the kidneys. When the dried herb is burned, the flower heads give off a cedar-like smell that will act as an anti-insect incense.
Infusion: Pour a cup of boiling water onto 1-2 teaspoonfuls of the dried herb and leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes. This should be drunk three times a day.
Rune
Eolh
Another powerful rune of protection, Eolh was often carved into weapons for victory and safety during battle. As its shape is the one we stand in when we invoke the gods or draw down energy from the heavens, it is also seen as the connecting bridge between gods and men.
USES:
- Protection from enemies.
- Protection from evil.
- Promotes friendships.
- Strengthens luck and the life force.
