===== Magical Uses =====

Use in sachets to ease the pain of childbirth. The plant grown in the bedroom guards against nightmares.

Sniffing the fresh flowers of the hyacinth relieves grief and depression, and also cures fascination.

The dried flowers are used in love mixtures.

===== Aromatherapy =====

This plant is a popular spring bloomer. The delicious fragrance of the flowers was once commonly inhaled to halt consuming grief. If this is a problem, visualize yourself as a poised, confident person and sniff the flowers. Repeat this two or three times a day until the situation has been corrected.

As with all flowers ruled by Venus, the fragrance of hyacinth can be used in rituals designed to bring love into your life.

One legendary property of this scent: it halts nightmares. Place a blooming plant beside the bed so that the room fills with its fragrance at night. Drop off to sleep smelling the scent and visualizing a good night’s sleep. No bizarre dreams should disturb your rest.
