In Hoodoo, this magickal herb
is considered protective and is often
incorporated into washes for the house or
carried on the person for that reason. This
fits well with its
Mars nature
(Fire
Elemental). This is a strengthening scent,
lending courage and warrior alertness. It
helps us stick to our own values instead of
following blindly following the majority. Some
use it in binding spells (the attacking aspect
of Mars). This scent is a great addition to
any Ares or war deity blend. Another way to
think of this fragrance is as a Dark Moon. The
black peppercorn is harvested before it is
ripe, just as some might see the Dark of the
Moon as the Moon before it matures to
fullness. For that reason, I think it is a
good scent for creating magickal perfumes that
honor the more war-like feminine deities.
