About clove
Cloves are the dried flower buds of a tree from the Maluku Islands, the original Spice Islands. In Han dynasty China, courtiers held cloves in their mouths to sweeten their breath before speaking to the emperor.
In Tudor England oranges studded with cloves were carried as pomanders. In folk magic cloves are used for protection, to draw in money and to strengthen friendship.
In a potion
Add a few to protection, money or friendship potions.
Safety
For rituals and display only, not for eating or drinking. Keep away from children and pets, and store dry, out of direct sunlight.
Herb meanings describe folk tradition and belief, not medical advice.
