MAGICAL HERB- Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus)
Permalink  

FOLK NAMES: Flower of Immortality, Huauhtli (Aztec), Love-Lies Bleeding, Red ****scomb, Velvet Flower
GENDER: Feminine
PLANET: Saturn
ELEMENT: Fire
DEITY: Artemis
POWERS: Healing, Protection, Invisibility
RITUAL USES:  The amaranth was used in pagan burial rituals.  It was also once outlawed by Spanish colonial authority in Mexico because it was used by Aztecs in their rituals.
MAGICAL USES:  A crown of amaranth flowers worn on the head speeds healing.  To make sure that you are never struck by a bullet, pull up a whole amaranth plant  (including roots) preferably on a Friday during the Full Moon.  leave an offering to the plant and then fold it, roots and all, in a piece of white cloth.  Wear this against your breast and you'll be 'bullet-proof.'
  The dried amaranth flowers have been used to call forth the dead, and are also carried to 'cure the affections', i.e. to mend a broken heart.
  A wreath of amaranth worn confers invisibility.
