Plant it at yule
\nAnd then it will be
\nready at Beltaine
\nOn your altar to see
\nIts white floral bells
\nOut of sheaths of dark green
\nIt has a sweet perfume
\nAnd enjoys a damp scene<\/p>\n
Its a magickal soul
\nFor the head and the heart
\nRuled by air extends a peacefulness
\nAround where
\nIt grows
\nIt can be invasive
\nBut is lovely in Spring
\nPerhaps around a bush
\nIt will certainly bring<\/p>\n
A nice splash of colour
\nIts berries beware
\nThey are pretty toxic
\nBut its hard to compare
\nSuch a sweet soul
\nWith its magickal notes
\nIts flowers dried and ground
\nMakes a snuff that just coats
\nInside your nostrils
\nTo dampen the pain
\nOf headache
\nBrought on by weakness and strain<\/p>\n
The fae seem drawn to it
\nIn woods you might see
\nOr hear its sweet peeling
\nIts bells Seemingly
\nConvallaria majalis
\n“A valley in May”
\nIts a beautiful plant
\nThat blows me away<\/p>\n
But remember its poisonous
\nAnd so you will need
\nAlways to wear gloves
\nWhen you tend it, indeed
\nYoung children and pets
\nAre best kept well away
\nFrom this delicate lily
\nThat blossoms in May<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
