The strawberry is a member of the rose family, and it behaves like one: heart-shaped, red, fragrant, and gone too quickly. It has stood for love and sweetness for as long as people have eaten it. The Romans gave it to Venus; the Norse gave it to Freyja, goddess of love; medieval stonemasons carved strawberries into church pillars as symbols of perfection; and in parts of Bavaria farmers once tied little baskets of wild strawberries to their cattle's horns as a gift for the elves. Its scent alone makes most people smile, which is the simplest explanation for its reputation. At Plentiful Earth we carry strawberry as a fragrance oil in three sizes and as strawberry incense sticks.
What Is the Spiritual Meaning of Strawberry?
Strawberry means love, luck, and sweetness. In folk magic it is a gentle love scent, used to attract affection, sweeten a relationship, and bring playfulness back into one that has grown heavy. Strawberry leaves were carried for luck, and old European lore has expectant mothers carrying them for an easy pregnancy. The fruit's sweetness makes it a natural ingredient in sweetening work of every kind, where the goal is to make someone think kindly of you. Its correspondences are Venus and the element of water.

How Do I Use Strawberry Oil?

For a sweetening working, add a few drops to a small jar of honey or sugar along with a name paper, and burn a candle on the lid. A drop on a sachet in a drawer scents the clothes and carries the intention with you. This is a fragrance oil made for candles, charms, and objects; do not take it internally, and patch-test before letting any scented oil touch your skin.
