For the past few weeks I have been feeling very drawn to the herb Rosemary. I crave the smell of it and even the sight of it! How strange - I've never had this before. And so I checked up on this, and this is what I have found:
1. Memory, clarity, and insight
Rosemary has long been associated with memory, both literally and metaphorically. Spiritually, being drawn to rosemary can indicate a time when your intuition, wisdom, or inner knowing is calling for attention. It may suggest you are ready to reflect, remember, or gain clarity about something important in your life.
2. Protection and purification
Rosemary is a classic herb for cleansing spaces and protecting against negative energy. Spiritually, your attraction could be signalling a need to clear emotional or energetic “clutter” around you—or to create a protective, sacred space in your life.
3. Connection to remembrance and ancestors
In many traditions, rosemary is used to honour the past, particularly deceased loved ones. Feeling drawn to it might indicate a subtle nudge from your ancestors or spirit guides, or an inner desire to reconcile with your personal history and memories.
4. Spiritual growth and healing
Rosemary’s energy is uplifting, promoting mental clarity and spiritual strength. Your attraction to it could be a sign that you are entering a period of personal transformation, where insight, self-awareness, and healing are particularly highlighted.
5. Amplifying intention and manifestation
Rosemary is also used in rituals to strengthen intentions, prayers, or affirmations. Spiritually, being drawn to it could suggest your subconscious is ready to focus on manifesting something important in your life.
💡 Practical way to work with it: You could burn it as incense, carry a sprig with you, or even make a rosemary-infused tea while meditating on what you want clarity or protection around. Notice what thoughts, memories, or feelings arise—it often carries personal messages.
I'm finding this all a bit fascinating! I am definitely going to make sure I get some incense, as well as oil and the herb itself to have it close by at the moment. Definitely it is calling for my attention, and so I must try and see if I can find out what it is leading me towards.
