Myrtle
Myrrhophore’s have a guardian oil, for many it’s Angelica but Myrtle is mine. As soon as I breathed her in I felt at home. She deepens my work, helps me transcend realms with ease, brings clarity to my divination and enables me to connect with spirit more easily.
The scent of Myrtle isn’t gentle, it’s herbal and bittersweet with spice and a warm resinous base. Some find it sharp on their first breath for me it’s evocative of a warm breeze on a Greek clifftop.
My first encounter with Myrtle was 22 years ago on my wedding day, the family who owned the villa we stayed in threw a wedding reception for us in their taverna and the tables were full of wild flowers and myrtle, the scent was incredible! Little did I know at the time that it was used in Ancient Greek love rites.
Associated with Aphrodite, Myrtle is symbolic of beauty and love and as a protective talisman and has many skin and health benefits but for me it will always be a healing oil first and foremost.
The frequency of Myrtle is very high, feminine and devotional, enhancing intuition and clairvoyance and a powerful healing aid for trauma, self destructive patterns and despair as it helps to foster self love and acceptance and is useful to soothe and bring balance to the emotions.
Planting Myrtle in a very sheltered sunny position, will protect you and your home however you may need to protect her from frost.
