44 Days of Witchery - Day 36

44 Days of Witchery - Day 36
Flower of your choice, and its magical properties.

I know I mentioned Lilacs already as my favorite scent. They are also my favorite flower so that's the one I chose for this. However, I didn't know their magical properties...

According to Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, Lilacs are good for protection and exorcism. In New England they were planted to keep evil away from one's property. Bring fresh cut lilacs into the house to drive away ghosts! Who knew. I think this must be why none of the houses I've lived in were haunted... lilacs are also my mom's favorite, and every spring we'd have several bunches in vases all over the house.
