A bulb which produces highly scented very pretty flowers, in a mixture of colours: pink, purple, white and yellow, on stems that come up from between long green leaves in early spring.

Hyacinths scent can bring a sense of peace, happiness and calm (or hay fever...)
Keep in your bedroom to aid a good night’s sleep and keep away nightmares. Guards against nightmares when used as an oil, burned as incense, or included in dream pillows.

The smoke from hyacinth incense can aid crossing the etheric planes.
Worked with as a de- hexing smudge, helping to rid of negative energies, whilst replacing with positive energies - As the final smudge used.
Can also be used in uncrossing spells.
Can be made into a perfume to wear on Saturdays, as Hyacinth corresponds to Saturday.
Roses may be safely used in place of any flower in ritual or spell work.
