Clover has been a native wild plant in most of the world since antiquity: our Pagan ancestors were very aware of its medicinal and magickal properties. The ancient Chinese used clover as a cough remedy — a practice also favored by Native Americans. When the European settlers arrived in America, they gradually started using clover to treat croup. Red clover has certain blood-thinning properties. There are many ways to consume clover, all of them safe. You can eat it raw, steam it or fry it, or use its flowers to make homemade wine. But perhaps the most frequent and effective use is to steep dried clover flowers into hot water and drink it as a tea. The magickal properties of clover Clover has always been considered a mystical and religious symbol. Because in its most common form, it has three leaves, it always had an association with the unseen. For our ancient Pagan ancestors, its three leaves represented the Triple Goddess (Mother, Maiden, Crone). They also believed that rubbing clover leaves on a sword would make that sword never miss its target. For the Celts, the clover was a sacred symbol of the sun — perhaps that’s why it later became the national flower of Ireland. Another reason for that would be clover’s ability to keep snakes away from where it grows, as the legend says about St. Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint who “chased the snakes away from Ireland.”

Pick clover flower,
souse in water, make tea sweet
and mend malady.
