===== 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.
===== Aromatherapy =====
These round, yellow flowers emit a sweet scent which can produce psychic dreams. Inhale the odor as you go to sleep, visualizing it unlocking the door to your psychic mind. Then, in your dreams, receive glimpses of possible future events from your deep consciousness through the language of symbols.
Like most flowers, the scent can also be used with visualization to bring love.
