Rounding the Year: Rosehips and Raindrops

Monday, September 9, 2024 4:04

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Early September has been wet in London where I live. I took this photo of rosehips in my garden after a rain shower. Rosehips have traditionally been picked in the autumn to make syrup and jelly. They’re also used as folk remedy to help prevent colds because they’re high in vitamin C. Here’s a link to a recipe for raw rosehip syrup from the Woodland Trust: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2019/07/raw-rosehip-syrup/

You can pick rosehips as soon as they turn red, but a forager friend of mine told me it is best to wait until after the first frost as that makes them softer and sweeter. If you cut them open for any reason, please be aware that they contain fine hairs which are very itchy, so wear rubber gloves and remove them. I’ll admit that when I was a kid it was well known that these could be used to make a nasty itching powder.

Magically, rosehips, like roses, can be used for love spells. Put them on your altar as they are or dry them to put inside poppets or spell jars. Rosehip tea is also supposed to help with psychic work, particularly divination. I’d say it would be ideal if you are scrying for the answer to a question about romance. I guess you could also use the itchy hairs in curses, if you’re into that kind of thing.
