Rosemary

Size: 8 oz Bag

(Latin Name: Rosmarinus officinalis / Salvia rosmarinus)
(Also known as: Dew of the Sea, The Herb of Remembrance, Spirit’s Broom)

Brief History & Origin

Rosemary is the Herb of Memory, Protection, and Sacred Cleansing, cherished since ancient times as both medicine and mystic ally. Its name means “dew of the sea,” for it once grew wild along the Mediterranean shores, gathering the mist of the waves into its leaves. In African rootwork, European folk magic, and ancestral healing traditions, Rosemary has been burned, brewed, and carried to awaken memory, banish negativity, and protect the soul from spiritual harm.

Rosemary reminds us that memory is medicine—whether it is the memory of who we truly are, the lessons of our ancestors, or the visions that guide our path. It strengthens the mind, clears the heart, and sweeps away heavy energy like a broom made of fragrant green needles.
