Cinquefoil (Five Finger Grass)

bulletProsperity, Balance, Protection, Prophetic Dreams

bulletThe five leaves, or fingers, of the Cinquefoil represent the elements of fire, water, earth, air and spirit or love, health, prosperity, wisdom and the spiritual, other-worldly realm.
bulletPlace a sachet of Cinquefoil in your pillow case to encourage psychic dreams, or burn a bit as incense just before sleeping. For some reason, this seems to be most effective if you have Latin ancestry (be it in this life or a previous one).

For a wonderful and all purpose anointing oil, infuse 1 cup of mild or unscented vegetable oil (sweet almond is best) with 1 cup of Cinquefoil leaves. Leave this to steep for a period of 3 moons, gently shaking the jar every day. On the third full moon, strain the oil and bury the spent leaves nearby your home, and charge the oil in moonlight. If you like, further scent your oil with a few drops of your favorite essential oil (sandalwood, cedar-wood or lavender work well).

Bathe in an infusion of Cinquefoil to break hexes and for protection. Keep a jarful of the infusion in your refrigerator and regularly wash your hands in this for added protection.

bullet

Carry a sachet of Cinquefoil on your person when you will be called upon to speak before a group. This should aid in your eloquence and ensure a positive outcome.
