WEAVERDerived from the Latin "lavare" meaning "to wash," lavender was traditionally used in ancient Egypt for cleaning, perfuming, embalming, and mummification. The Greeks recommended it for anointing the chest, believed to be the seat of the heart. As a nervine, lavender calms, induces sleep, improves memory, and boosts mood. Ruled by Mercury and Virgo, it is the messenger and connector, opening mental channels and refining thought processes. Lavender reminds us that misaligned communication can lead to criticism and blocked creativity. Embrace shadow work for higher alignment and use the gifts of communication—art, poetry, music, singing, and dance—to nurture creativity and weave your life.
