Today is ideal to work powerful green magic in honor of Jupiter's
energy. So why not use one of India's sacred herbs now? Tulsi,
(Ocimum
sanctum), also called sacred basil, holy basil, or bhutagni
("destroyer of
demons") is a benign-looking herb that is thought of as a divine
incarnation of the Goddess. Worshippers of Vishnu perceive the plant as
the
goddess Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity, abundance, and fertility. Here
are two ways to utilize tulsi in your magical workings today. To usher
in
prosperity and abundance, welcome Lakshmi to your life using tulsi.
Lakshmi is embodied in basil, rice, coins, and other symbols of
prosperity
and fertility. To invoke Lakshmi's blessings, infuse cup basil leaves
in four cups of water. Strain and add half teaspoons of peppermint and
basil essential oil. Wash your altar, ritual space, or hearth with this
tulsi spiritual wash. Place raw grains basmati rice in a small dish on
your tulsi-scented altar along with an array of shiny coins.
Also, you can try what many Indians do to assure a pleasant night of
sleep. Place a tulsi leaf on your chest at bedtime. Tulsi on the chest
promises pleasant dreams and protects against evil.
