Mimosa
The Herbs

(Acacia dealbata) P

Folk Names: Mimosa Pudica, Albizzialebbeck

Gender: Feminine

Planet: Saturn

Element: Water

Powers: Protection, Love, Prophetic Dreams, Purification

Magical Uses: Mimosa is used in spells involving purification (scatter around the area), love, healing, and prophetic dreaming. The latter use, of course, entailing its placement beneath the pillow and subsequently sleeping on it.

A bath of mimosa (or an infusion of the plant sponged onto the body) destroys hexes and curses, and guards against future problems.
