(Cleansing, Protection, Attract Abundance & More)
Cloves are an iconic staple in the kitchen but they also have a rich history of use in protection, luck, and love spells. In fact, this spice was revered so much in Ancient Rome that it became more highly prized than gold! Read on to learn about the magical properties of cloves, their spiritual benefits and how you can use them in your own life.
What do cloves symbolize?
The word ‘clove’ comes from the old French word clou and the Latin word clavus, meaning nail, which refers to their unique shape. The clove tree is native to the Molucca Islands in Indonesia where the dried flower buds were regularly traded to Ancient Rome and China. Cloves were so highly regarded in these cultures that only the wealthy could afford them. So, they quickly became associated with prosperity.
They are masculine and protective in nature; aligned with the element of fire and the planet Jupiter. This makes them very effective in any spell to do with growth, money, legal issues, and abundance. Perhaps one of their most famous magical uses is in perfume balls to protect against illness, called pomanders.
By the 18th century, cloves were commonly pushed into oranges and offered as gifts at Christmas time for protection, or fragrant good luck charms for the new year. They are still sometimes gifted today, especially by those that follow Pagan traditions.
