Basil, Cute!

Basil flowers represent good wishes and protection.

They are considered holy in by some cultures, but ironically were believed to be a flower belonging to the devil in some European folklore, meaning that you must curse the ground before you grow it.

Basil was commonly used in folk magic to protect against harmful spells and pests. Basil juice was drunk to aid in astral projection.

Basil comes from the greek word meaning king or prince. It has also been called the king of herbs, since it is one of the most useful of all herbs. As it is used in magic, for healing small injuries, and food!

Basil leaves are also used to make one of my favourite pasta sauces, pesto!

Yummy!

Basil flowers, so small and dainty, so cute!

I snipped them off, along with other buds so my plant becomes more full and leafy 🌿
