THE MAGIC OF RUDA

 And that wise woman told me: "My mother always used rue. So I came to my house, asked the plant for the gifts, and when placing it against my body, I began to feel how the burdens were released ..."

 MAGICAL USES OF RUE

Placing rue leaves on the forehead eliminates headaches.  Among the most effective amulets, this wild plant with such a characteristic smell has a very high talismanic value.

Its power is very effective in protecting against all kinds of evil against the evil eye, envy and negative influences.

Carrying a sheet in your purse or wallet brings good luck.

The amulet must be made by keeping rue leaves in a small red cloth bag sewn with red thread.

This bag should always be carried with you.

The variety to be used for amulets is known as "male rue", that is, the one with the smallest leaf.

In Castile, it is considered one of the blessed plants and in the north, it warns against evil spirits

Wearing rue around the neck helps recovery from illnesses and also drives away future health problems.

Rue is put into incense for curative purposes.

 Breathing in fresh rue clears the mind in love affairs, helps those concerned to see more clearly the object of their affection, and improves mental processes.

 The rue added to the bathroom, breaks all the spells and curses that may have been cast against you.

 It is protective when you hang it on the door, put it in bags, and, if you rub the fresh leaves against the ground, it returns any negative spells that have been sent against you.

 The Romans ate rue to protect themselves from the evil eye, and this plant was also carried to immunize the wearer against poisons and all kinds of diseases.

 A branch of fresh rue is used to sprinkle salt water throughout the house;  thus cleanses itself of negative energy.

 Mixing fresh rue juice with the morning dew and spreading it in a circle around one, serves as protection, either by desire or necessity.

 Rue is another plant said to grow best when stolen, and its presence in the garden truly beautifies and protects it.
