Anecdotal: Calendula in bath water helps to win the respect of others. The spirit within Calendula is invoked to address spiritual pain related to subjective experiences. It is a formidable incarnant for resolving endopsychic wounds due to the loss of personal shields or the ability to comprehend visions and dreams. Calendula is feminine, linked to sacred cycles and associated with circumstantial or ritual birth, death and rebirth. It is both exorcismal and protective when hung in doorways as garlands. Prophetic dreams are believed stimulated when Calendula is scattered under ones bed. It comforts and strengthens the spirit; Calendula flowers with honey heal broken hearts. A potion can be formulated from Calendula that provides the ability to see and interact with Earth spirits. The Calendula is first gathered from a secret place then combined with oil, water, Corylus and Thymus. It is placed in the sun for three days before the potion is deemed ready.
