The violet-coloured bell-shaped petals of this wildflower are threaded through with magical lore.

Also, put them under your pillow to drive away nightmares.

3. Buttercup

The silky bright yellow petals of this staple of the English countryside were once used at the feast of Beltane to bring abundance in the coming months with the harvest. Sprinkle buttercup petals at home to ward off evil. Also said to make the wearer invisible to evil.

4. Carnation

Woven into ceremonial crowns by the ancient Greeks, these are flowers of potent power. So they will enhance your intentions during spiritual or magical practice. Said to spark creativity and inspiration they are talismans for anyone working in creative industries. Sprinkle petals into a bath for a spark of inspiration.

5. Camomile

Used as a herbal tea to calm and sooth, the white flowers with their large yellow centres work the same way at an energetic level. So place camomile flowers around your home to infuse it with a gentle calming energy. Carry camomile flowers in your pocket to diffuse tension if you need to have a difficult conversation with someone.

6. Daffodil

The sunny yellow of this bloom is one of the first signs of spring. So naturally its energy is of all things happy and uplifting. Use this flower to bring optimism, luck, love and fertility into your life.

7. Dandelion

The fiery yellow-orange of this beautifully shaped bloom has layers of petals which resemble a lion's mane. Known as an oracle flower, the dandelion is used for prophecy and predictions. So use it to enhance divination spells and also for communicating with loved ones who have passed into spirit. You can use dandelions to strengthen wishes, too.

8. Daisy

Typical flower of the British countryside, daisies have always been associated with innocent love. Place near children and babies for blessings on the child. Daisies signify purity and loyalty. They also draw good luck to the wearer and will bring a pure love to you.

The dual energy of this eye-catching flower is signified by its physical properties which can either harm or help. In the correct dose it can heal but too much will kill. So don't touch this flower! But a foxglove growing in a quiet corner of your garden can bring you insight and open up new ideas in your mind.

It has hallucinogenic properties and can be poisonous, so don't touch it! But its energy will bring you wealth, fertility, and chase away evil influences.

12. Iris

A distinctive purple and yellow flower that is sacred to the rainbow goddess, Iris. This flower purifies the places where it grows and the spaces it is put as a cut flower. It brings the energy of wisdom and courage. It is a reminder that all things will live again through reincarnation.
