Heather grows mostly on mountains and challenging environments, so by that it gives you that energy of confidence and independence. To stand on your feet and thrive from within, no matter your surroundings. But also gives you that balance to not become so self-obsessed that you don’t have no thoughts or time to give to others, promoting generosity of spirit and better awareness of other’s needs. Only sitting with Heather and looking at her shows you that purity and refinement that emanates all around her. Healing from within with beauty and admiration for your true self.
Burning Heather brings magical powers to deepen one’s connection with the Spirits. It is especially powerful when you do it on the mountains and under ceremony. Also, heather has been used in spiritual cleansing, protection as well as in healing and initiations in the old ways. Nowadays, it’s a popular belief that carrying a sprig of white heather or growing them outside homes will bring good luck.
Externally it is used for toning muscles and soothing rheumatic pain. Internally it has antiseptic and diuretic qualities. Is used for treatment of kidney stones, of nervous complaints, cardiac palpitations, migraine, and problems associated with menstruation.
I love Heather with all my heart!
