The magical properties of jasmine were known back in past centuries, when folk healers and sorcerers began to actively use it. The plant is an evergreen shrub with beautiful small flowers. Jasmine is quite popular, because it has a lot of healing qualities. The flower is rich in acids, essential oils, contains indole, triterpene, benzyl alcohol, linalool and phenol. The plant also acts as an aphrodisiac, which allows it to be used in magical culture.
Jasmine flower - meaning
The name of the jasmine plant comes from the Persian word "Yasmine" or gift from God. Japanese legend says that a long time ago jasmine flowers were pink. On the night of Christ's crucifixion they withered, but the next morning the dry branches were covered with flowers. Only their color turned white with sadness.
In India there is another legend about jasmine. It tells the story that the Sun God had a princess whom he loved very much. However, over time, he became interested in other beauties, and the princess, having learned about this, committed suicide. Later, a flower bloomed on her grave, and it was jasmine.
Both legends are associated with death and resurrection after death. There are more than 200 types of jasmine, but only a few varieties are used for perfumery and as an aromatic additive for tea.

What does it symbolize?
According to Greek legends, this plant was given to people by the goddess Athena.
The symbolic meaning of mock orange is different in each country. The Greeks believed that the white fragrant flowers were a gift from the goddess Athena, and in India, mock orange is called the moonlight of love, which is inserted into wedding wreaths. In the eastern countries of the world, jasmine is represented as the queen of the night, awakening a surge of tender feelings for each other and passion. The people of Indonesia have made the jasmine tree inflorescences a national symbol, and every woman in the country planning to get married should include these flowers in her wedding dress. The Indonesian people also use jasmine in their national cuisine.
Filipinos decorated temples with jasmine garlands; in the Philippines, this plant is considered a symbol of purity. Jasmine occupies a special place in the life of the Chinese, who prepare incredible tea from mock orange petals. It is believed that this drink relieves fatigue and saturates the body with all the necessary vitamins and microelements. In addition, jasmine tea with an invigorating taste and unforgettable aroma accelerates recovery from bronchitis, cleanses the lungs, fights excess weight and reduces cravings for sweets.
Is it possible to plant jasmine on the site: signs
True jasmine is a heat-loving plant and grows in the Middle and Far East. It has more than 200 varieties.
The plant, which in Russia is grown in household plots and is called jasmine, is not jasmine. This shrub with white flowers and a pleasant smell is called mock orange . True jasmine does not survive the harsh conditions of the Russian winter.
Is it possible to plant jasmine on the site? Yes, you can:
- In Russia there is a popular belief according to which jasmine planted on a plot brings good luck and happiness to the owners. Mock orange got its name from the fact that smoking pipes were made from its stems.
- In Christian culture, jasmine is associated with the Virgin Mary, and it is also believed that this plant does not bring anything bad.
- There is a legend according to which jasmine is an angel who decided to stay on earth to make this world more beautiful. And the one who plants it near the house will bring more love and light into his life.
Real jasmine in the courtyards of houses
Since the plant, called jasmine in Russia, is not such a plant, the superstitions associated with planting this plant on the site can be considered false.
Jasmine: legends of origin
Jasmine is an evergreen shrub (or vine) of the olive family with beautiful small flowers. There are many legends associated with this incredibly beautiful flower. Thus, one Indian legend says that there once lived a beautiful princess Jasmine, who unrequitedly and passionately fell in love with the Sun God. Every day she turned her gaze to the sky, following the golden chariot of God with a sad gaze. One day, the Sun God nevertheless turned his attention to the sweet girl, but it was not for long. Having never received an answer to her love, Princess Jasmine decided to leave this cruel world. After the princess's body was cremated, the ashes were scattered to the wind. The Sun God was sincerely upset by the death of a young girl and turned her ashes into delicate flowers. So, everywhere on earth where the ashes fell, beautiful and delicate flowers grew - jasmines, the buds of which opened only at night, while the cruel god, who did not accept the feelings of the princess, was absent from the sky.
There is also another legend, according to which only one jasmine bush in Italy grew in the garden of one very greedy duke from Tuscany. This duke was a terrible owner, so he strictly forbade his gardener to cut off the shoots of the flower and give it to anyone. This gardener was very faithful and strictly followed the Duke's orders. But this lasted only until he fell in love with a sweet and young girl. Once he cut jasmine flowers to give to his beloved. The girl liked the flowers so much that she decided to plant them in her garden. It is thanks to this legend that now in Italy jasmine is a symbol of true love, which is not afraid of any barriers or prohibitions.
Jasmine - can I keep it at home: signs
In Russia, you can hear a sign that says that jasmine “drives” men out of the house . This belief is probably an echo of the traditions and rituals of the Middle East and Asia. In religious rituals, jasmine truly symbolizes purity and virginity . The image of jasmine is generally very multifaceted, and is interpreted differently in different countries.
Contrary to the image of jasmine as a “husband-driver” is the fact that jasmine in the East is considered the strongest aphrodisiac . And in love magic, it is believed that fragrant pads with dried jasmine flowers, on the contrary, can bring harmony to married life and restore love attraction to husbands and wives. Therefore, you can easily keep jasmine at home.
The use of essential oils in magic
So, let's group essential oils by purpose. You can use scents alone or in mixtures. We will look at the mixtures below, but for now let’s see which scents are suitable for what.
Essential Oils to Achieve Your Goals
In order to achieve what you want and fulfill your dreams, you will need courage and a clear mind. Citrus aromas, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger will help you.
Attracting love
If you strive for sensual relationships and carnal passion, choose patchouli, neroli, musk. Dreaming of a more romantic relationship? Rose and ylang-ylang are what you need.
For good luck
When choosing an oil that brings good luck, you should focus on your Zodiac Sign. We will not present clever tables here - in our online store you will find ready-made sets of essential oils, selected according to astronomical correspondences.
For money and prosperity
Basil is the strongest magnet for money. Cinnamon and vetiver are also good. Lubricate your wallet with these oils and apply them to objects that bring you money - your work tools, cash registers, the doors of your store. Below you will find several recipes for magic money mixtures.
For weight loss
Essential oils that help you lose weight are primarily appetite suppressant aromas. These include mint, cinnamon and cypress. All citrus scents are also good. They improve your mood and help you avoid stress.
From damage
Sandalwood, palo santo, wormwood, cloves, and cedar are excellent against negative energies, the evil eye and deliberate damage.
Oils for beauty and wrinkles
Love is the best cure for wrinkles! And neroli, rose, jasmine and vanilla will help you find and hold it.
Jasmine bloomed for the second time: sign
The Slavs have a sign that if, for example, a pear, cherry or apple tree blooms for the second time, then this is a very bad sign.
It is believed that the second flowering of trees can portend illness or even death. However, this sign does not apply to jasmine.
Some mock orange varieties always bloom twice a year. These are selective, that is, specially bred plants. You wouldn’t see a bad sign, for example, in remontant strawberries that bloom and bear fruit twice, at the beginning and end of summer? Therefore, if jasmine blooms a second time, then don’t expect anything bad.
The magic of smells and their influence
The influence of odors on a person occurs in two, so to speak, planes. Let us consider them separately, conventionally calling them “scientific” and “magical”. Let’s immediately make a reservation that when describing the properties of aromas, we will take both into account.
So, a “scientific” explanation of the influence of aromas on humans.
The ability to quickly respond to odors, to identify them as threatening or attractive, has developed during evolution as a mechanism responsible for safety. Therefore, a person is very susceptible to odors, and this is the secret of their action. On the other hand, the aromatic substances of essential oils and incense are very volatile, spread quickly, enter the nasal mucosa and almost instantly have an effect on the nervous and endocrine systems of the body. Thus, one or another “scenario” is activated, certain functions are stimulated. For example, perception sharpens, relaxation occurs, or, conversely, attention increases. It may start to make you sleepy or, on the contrary, a wave of vigor will come, your tone will increase. It all depends on what scent you choose and for what purpose. Aromatherapy is built on this principle - healing the body and soul with the help of aromas.
In addition, associations also have power over us. Thus, the aroma of coffee beans invigorates and clears the mind, not only because it affects the nervous system in this way, but also because it is associated with a good start in the morning and a day that promises wonderful events.
The second layer of influence is magical influence. We are talking about those effects that cannot be explained by the science known to us. But it can be explained by the magic we know.
The magical properties of fragrances are in one way or another connected with the elements to which the fragrance belongs, with planetary and zodiacal correspondences. Thus, fragrances bring success, promote good luck and prosperity, attract money, and attract love. They also protect against damage and the evil eye.
Is it possible to plant jasmine near the house: signs
It is possible to plant jasmine near your home; the signs and beliefs of many countries speak about this.
The Tatars even have a legend according to which, before a person goes to heaven, they will ask him whether he has grown jasmine.
However, do not confuse jasmine with mock orange. Mock orange has no signs or superstitions associated with its planting. Jasmine in the East is considered traditionally a female flower. It symbolizes feminine attractiveness and can attract the attention of men. Imagine an evening stroll through an Arabian city, with its sweet, intoxicating scents of jasmine and spices. This atmosphere is conducive to love adventures.
Look at the window in the photo below, looking at it, willy-nilly, the thought arises that a beautiful lady lives behind this window. Whether you need jasmine near your home, and whether you want to “fight off” the attention of gentlemen, is up to you to decide.

Matches
Deities: Venus, Aphrodite, Artemis, Selene
Zodiac: Cancer
Planet: Moon, sometimes Jupiter
Element: Water
Female gender
Crystals: Rose Quartz, Opal and Moonstone
Jasmine is a powerful magical plant that is especially well suited for magic associated with spiritual love. If you are looking for a soul mate, then jasmine is your best friend. It is also great for broken heart relief rituals and general love spells.
If you are looking for a soul mate, then jasmine is your best assistant...
Jasmine bush - what it brings into the house: signs
A jasmine bush near the house is not considered a bad omen. It is considered bad luck to break its branches and give them to someone or to put broken branches of jasmine in a vase at home.
- On broken jasmine branches, flowers very quickly turn yellow, wither and fall off.
- Jasmine is considered a “brother plant”; the branches of both real jasmine and mock orange diverge at the same angle into two branches of equal thickness.
- Thus, by breaking jasmine, we figuratively destroy friendships and introduce disagreements into relationships with loved ones. But if you treat it with care, it will bring exceptional happiness to your home.
Sources of smells in magic
The magic of smells combines the use of essential oils and their mixtures, incense in the form of sticks, cones, and resins. Let's not forget about scented candles! A separate story is magical handmade perfumes. Creating a magical perfume requires a long learning curve, just a perfect sense of smell and the highest level of skill. For this reason, we will not dwell on this in detail, but will only express our highest respect to those who are able to enclose entire stories, fairy tales, landscapes and images of stunning beauty in a bottle of perfume.
Incense in the form of sticks or cones is used very, very actively in rituals. They are inexpensive, produce pleasant looking smoke (especially the wonderful trailing incense cones!), and a set of various types of incense can be found in the treasured bedside table of every self-respecting witch. The only caveat is that the aromas of smoldering incense are somehow smoky, and if you see the word “fresh” in the description of the aroma, this, of course, is not the same freshness as in a living plant or in oil.
The same goes for resins. Some resins, such as incense or copal, are something of a classic of ritual magic; they produce good smoke, but require careful handling and some skill.
On the contrary, the easiest way to get a gentle, warm aroma is to light a scented candle. Choose candles scented with natural oils and botanicals, or make your own—it's easy. Do not use scented candles purchased in supermarkets or untrusted places for magical purposes, as candles scented with artificial substances will not give the expected results.
Essential oils are quite easy to use, and the palette of aromas is simply amazing. Sweet, spicy, oriental, woody, floral - the choice is huge. The use of essential oils in magic is possible in several ways:
- in aroma lamps; mixtures with base oil for application to the body or objects;
- without a base oil, apply a mono-aroma or mixture to objects (application to the skin can be dangerous!);
- add to the bath, creams, shampoos and other feminine things to adjust the image (for example, to increase attractiveness, attract success, etc.)
Jasmine flower - how is it used?

A beautiful body pattern with snow-white jasmine is often chosen by both men and women. This image looks especially impressive in the style of realism.
In the Christian religion, a jasmine tattoo signifies feminine virtue. She personifies modesty, sensuality, elegance. Most often, the owner of such a body image is modest and discreet. It is no coincidence that this plant is used in India during wedding ceremonies.
A color and black and white tattoo will tell about the softness of a woman’s character, her tenderness and bright feelings. The design on the wrist will symbolize loyalty and devotion. Jasmine is often called a gift from the Gods. Indeed, the plant is distinguished by its sophistication and tenderness.
In addition, such a body design has a certain amount of mysticism and mystery. Often the image of a flower was used in their symbolism by the orders of Ancient China.
Meaning for women
Most often, a tattoo with a picture of a beautiful flower is chosen by the fair sex. For women, such an image will mean:
- modesty
- devotion, fidelity
- Love
- grace
- gracefulness
- sensuality
- tenderness
A spectacular tattoo with the image of jasmine can tell about the modesty and devotion of its owner. A girl with a similar body pattern is very gentle and faithful.
Also, such a tattoo can mean love and sensuality.
Sometimes girls and older women choose a jasmine tattoo because of the beauty of the design, and not because of its special meaning.
Meaning for men
Not so often, but sometimes representatives of the stronger sex choose tattoos with jasmine. For men, such a body image will mean:
- Love

Such a body image will tell about the devotion of its owner. Such a tattoo also often speaks of a love of beauty.
Sometimes men make images with jasmine not because of any special symbolic meaning, but because of the effectiveness of the image.
Places for jasmine tattoos
If you wish, you can get a tattoo on any part of the body. The main thing is to decide whether you want to show off a jasmine flower tattoo or not.
So, a pattern on the neck, collarbone or wrist is quite difficult to hide; it is always visible. Tattoos on arms and legs are easy to cover with clothing and can be displayed. But the images on the back, stomach and side are visible only in very open clothes.
The size of a jasmine tattoo is usually not large or medium, although there are also tattoos that cover the entire thigh or sleeve.
It can be one flower or a whole branch - the meaning does not depend on the number of flowers.
Jasmine in nature is found mainly in white and yellow colors, but the color scheme of tattoos can range from light pink shades to bright red and blue. The choice of color affects the overall meaning of the tattoo. For example, red jasmine suggests that passions are not alien to a modest nature.
You can often find a monochrome design of jasmine tattoos.
Among the styles, the most popular are realism, watercolor, and engraving. The combination of several styles looks interesting and unusual.
And remember, the key to success is the right choice of a master. Only a professional can make a high-quality tattoo. Poor quality work cannot always be corrected; sometimes tattoo removal is required.
And to emphasize your individuality, don’t look for ready-made sketches; an experienced master will develop a drawing taking into account any of your wishes.
The artist in our Tattoo -77 salon will help you choose a beautiful stylish tattoo design with jasmine.
Which image to choose for a tattoo?
There are many different options for jasmine tattoos. As an original body image, men and women choose both black and white and color tattoos. Drawings in watercolor style look especially beautiful.
Tattoos made using the realism technique look no less impressive. Such images are distinguished by naturalness and originality.

Jasmine - aromatherapy, magical properties
Jasmine is used in magical rituals. A real witch should have jasmine in her pantry, as well as other aromatic herbs. Jasmine attracts pure love. To attract such love into your life, fill your pillows with jasmine and add jasmine flowers to your bathing water.
IMPORTANT: Please note that mock orange, which grows in Russia, is mistakenly called jasmine. Also not jasmine is stephanotis, which is grown as a houseplant. Mock orange has a pleasant aroma, but it is not used either for adding to tea or for magical rituals.
The maximum that you can expect to get from plants growing in our latitudes is that the bushes will decorate your yard in an original way, and their dried flowers will exude a pleasant aroma. If you have real jasmine flowers in your hands, use them for magic.
For this, the right psychological attitude is important. Don't think about problems that have happened in the past or will happen in the future. Listen to pleasant music or a relaxing video. Imagine that you are a witch, a psychic and you see what mere mortals cannot see.
Description of the plant
Stephanotis has long (up to 5-6 meters) shoots crawling along vertical supports, which become woody over time.
The leaves are arranged oppositely and are attached with small petioles. The leaves reach 10 cm in length and 5 cm in width; they are dense, leathery, dark green in color and elliptical in shape. Madagascar jasmine blooms magnificently and amicably: 7-10 flowers bloom on the pedicels, collected in complex, axillary inflorescences. The stephanotis flower consists of five petals, slightly bent outward, and a funnel-shaped corolla, which is 3 cm long. The flowers can be white, slightly yellowish or cream-colored, and have a unique, pleasant aroma.
You can take a closer look at stephanotis in the photos below:
Characteristics and beneficial properties of the plant
Lianas can reach lengths of up to 5 meters. Stephanotis is all covered with clusters consisting of small flowers, which can be either white or cream with a subtle pleasant aroma. If you create favorable conditions for jasmine, the flowering period reaches 6 months.
Madagascar jasmine can often be found in a greenhouse, where it is used as an arched plant due to its ability to entwine vertical supports. With the help of a flower, compositions are created in the form of blooming circles, hearts and other shapes.
VIDEO: How to tune in to magic?

Quote from Cymylau
Read in full In your quotation book or community!
Jasmine is the king of scents.
The Legend of Jasmine Jasmine (Jasminum) is a genus of tropical and subtropical shrubs and vines, numbering about 200 species, from the olive family (Oleaceae). The homeland of jasmines is considered to be Asia, Transcaucasia, Northern China, Arabia and Eastern India. Jasmines are distinguished by their abundance of foliage and single or double flowers, often fragrant. Because of the scent of flowers, jasmine is called the “king of scents.”
There is a very beautiful legend about jasmine...According to it, once all the flowers were white, but one day an artist appeared with a set of bright paints and offered to paint them in different colors that they wanted. Jasmine was closest to the artist; he wanted to be golden, the color of his beloved sun. But the artist did not like that jasmine was ahead of the rose, the queen of flowers, and as punishment he left him to wait until the very end, starting to paint all the other flowers. As a result, the yellow-gold paint favored by Jasmine almost all went to the dandelions. Jasmine did not again ask the artist to paint him yellow, and in response to the demand to bow, he answered the following: “I prefer to break, but not bend.” So it remained a white fragile jasmine.
The name “jasmine” comes from the Persian word “yasemin”, which means a fragrant flower. It is also a Persian girl's name. Apparently, the plant was introduced into Egypt before the XXI Dynasty (about 1000 BC). There is a mention that the Chinese Emperor of the Sung Dynasty (960-1279) enjoyed the scent of jasmine growing in his palace. At the end of the 15th century, jasmine was grown for the kings of Afghanistan, Nepal and Persia.
Since ancient times, jasmine has been loved for its highly decorative and medicinal qualities: bronchopulmonary diseases, colds, tuberculosis and eye diseases were treated with infusions and decoctions.

They say that the Duke of Tuscany, the only owner of this flower at one time, who protected the secret of its cultivation from anyone, had a gardener who was in love with a lovely girl. He stole the fragrant splendor and presented it to his beloved. Since then, Tuscan girls decorate themselves with jasmine on their wedding day.

Jasmine white flowers On the damp emerald hills Exquisitely modest, simple Their voice is thin, gentle, timid Sounds, intertwined with the singing of birds And in the quiet rustle of grass and leaves I can’t get enough of the youth of faces And the gaze is admiring and envious Like the sun’s envy of gold To its river reflection , Like the waters of the sky, height is needed for self-expression - So flowers attract me With fragrance and light... Jasmine trusts the caress of hands And clings to them with a reverent response © Copyright: Olga Shmelkova, 2010
