Daisies | Chu Ju

Daisies have been around for thousands of years, with evidence that they were grown by the ancient Egyptians as early as 2,200BC for use in herbal remedies. There are stone carvings depicting what looks like daisies from 3000BC.

The magickal properties of daisies have been used for a long time in love spells. Most of us will have already used daisy magick when younger. Remember pulling out daisy petals one by one and saying “she/he loves me, she/he loves me not”? That’s a very simple form of a love spell… You can also use this method as a form of divination to find out the answer to any other yes/no question.

If you want to re-ignite an old love affair, place some daisies under your pillow. This will help to bring the person you’re yearning for back into your life while also making you dream of them. Daisies are generally not seen as a flower for passionate love. They are used in love spells for long-lasting love or friendship

Fill a small sachet with dried daisies and hang it over your children’s beds to keep them safe at night. Fill small vases with daisies and keep them in the home to form a protective net which keeps you feeling safe joyful. Placing daisies on your desk will help to reignite your passion for a project you’re struggling with.

Daisies are often made into simple flower crowns to be worn during Beltane and other summer Sabbats. They are also a favorite of faeries and are thought to attract woodland dryads.
