Poppy Seeds

CAD $6.50

Poppy seeds can be used to create confusion, dominate people, delay paperwork, especially if combined with black mustard seed and used to stuff a poppet or a candle used in sympathetic magic. Red poppies have long been associated with sleep and death. Perhaps this is because of the narcotic made from the opium poppy can easily bring it about. Ancient Greeks and Romans presented them as offerings to the dead. In the Victorian Language of Flowers, poppy symbolized eternal sleep, oblivion, imagination. Red poppies also mean pleasure, the why poppy means consolation and the yellow poppy means success.

In Ukrainian Folklore Poppy (Mak) is a flower of dreams, fertility, beauty and youth. It symbolizes infinity of the universe but at the same time it suggests sleep and the oblivion. Believed to be a good charm against witches and protective against the evil eye. This plant possesses a magic power against all sorts of evil forces and evil influences. People would put poppy seeds in a midwifes [повитуха] coffin, so she would have gifts for all the children she helped to deliver when she met them in the next world.

Surprisingly, it also made an appearance in Roman love spells. Creating a love symbol with poppy seeds on a cake and then eating it would activate the spell. In Tuscany witches put Poppy Stem & Root onto hot coals and then read the size and shapes of the flames to get their answers. Others burnt Poppy Seeds and divined their answers from the sounds they made as they burned
