HIBISCUS (Hibiscus spp.)
Folk Names: Kharkady - Arabic, Rose Mallow
Part Used - Incense: Flowers, essence
Scent: Bitter, tart
Gender: Feminine
Planet: Venus, (Moon)
Element: Water
Powers: Lust, love, divination
Magical Uses: The flowers of a red hibiscus are brewed into a strong red tea which is drunk for its lust-inducing powers. This drink is forbidden to women in Egypt for this very reason.
The blossoms have also been used in love incenses and sachets. They are placed in wreaths in marriage ceremonies in the tropics.
Sorcerers in Dobu in the Western Pacific divine in a wooden bowl of water onto which are placed a few hibiscus flowers.
Clairvoyance, contact other planes, determination, divination, harmony, peace, psychic development & growth, tranquility.
The small of hibiscus flowers is very disappointing. To get the sweet small of fresh hibiscus, you must use essence.
Healing Uses
Part Used: Seeds
Properties and Uses: Antispasmodic, nervine, stomachic. An emulsion made from the seeds is said to be useful for spasmodic problems; an emulsion made with milk can be used for itchy skin. In Egypt, the seeds are chewed to relieve stomach problems, to sooth the nerves, and to sweeten the breath. Egyptians also consider the seeds to have aphrodisiac powers.

It's one of the few flowering plants I do like, it's my hardy rose. Beautiful vibrant colours and the different petal structures. Add a blossom over you ear and it brightens anybody's face.

Beautiful colors, large flowers. But the blooms don't last long.
