11/1/2006 - The Rosemary Blessing

To ensure success in a venture, or to bless a house or journey

You will need: a few sprigs of rosemary; green or gold ribbons; a glass of wine

Make a rosemary charm on All Hallows Day (Novermber 1) or on May Day, by making a crude doll from a few sprigs of the rosemary tied into arms, and legs, around the body with the green or gold ribbons. Place it in your kitchen. Take a leftover sprig of rosemary from your workings and, on the eve of your depature or house move, or the porject you wish to bless, pop it into a glass of wine and drink a toast to good spirits and positive luck. Share the toast with anyone else invoeld in the project, you wish to seek luck.
