Attraction Eye Pillow, 3 x 9 Inch Scented Flannel

Scented for attraction. Jasmine and rose are both listed for love in Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, so the scent carries the intention while you visualize.

Soft flannel over closed eyes. The fabric blocks light and lies gently, which lets a five-minute visualization feel like a proper ritual instead of a quick thought before bed.

Altar and travel sized. At 3 by 9 inches it tucks into a drawstring pouch with a few rose petals and comes along to a friend's house, a retreat, or a full moon circle.

• Size: about 3 x 9 inches
• Cover: soft flannel, red as pictured
• Scent: jasmine and rose petals
• Weight: about 8.5 oz
• Filling and scent source: confirm with Plentiful Earth
• Sold as a curio for meditation and ritual use

An eye pillow is used in modern eclectic witchcraft as a meditation and visualization prop, most often for attraction and glamour work where the practitioner needs to picture the thing being drawn in. Cover the eyes, quiet the room, and the picture comes clear.

The botanicals give it a lineage. Scott Cunningham lists jasmine for love and prophetic dreams and rose for love and luck, and both flowers have perfumed love charms across Europe, the Middle East, and India for centuries. Scenting a pillow with them is a gentle version of the old practice of stuffing a sachet with love herbs and keeping it close to the body.

You can use it for romantic love, for calling in friendship, or for attracting the right people to a project. The word attraction is wider than romance. Whatever you picture behind the flannel is what you are working toward.

1. Cleanse the pillow with a pass through incense smoke or an evening in the moonlight. Keep it away from water so the scent and fabric stay as they are.
2. Lie down somewhere you will not be disturbed and settle the pillow over your closed eyes.
3. Breathe in the jasmine and rose and picture what you are drawing toward you in full detail: the face, the conversation, the day it arrives.
4. Speak an affirmation in the present tense, quietly or in your head, three times. Keep it about you, not about controlling anyone else.
5. Stay for five or ten minutes, then rise slowly and light a pink or red candle if you want to carry the picture into a fuller working. Store the pillow in a pouch with a pinch of rose petals.

If a different image or a different set of words comes up while you lie there, follow it. The pillow makes the room dark; you decide what appears.

• Attraction Anointing Oil, 2 Dram: anoint your wrists before you lie down so scent and intention match from the first breath.
• Pink Chime Candles, Set of 6: light one after the visualization to carry the picture into candle magic.
• Rose Quartz Worry Stone: hold it in one hand while the pillow rests over your eyes for a stone-and-scent pairing.
• Jasmine Flowers, Whole, 1 oz: tuck a few into the storage pouch to refresh the jasmine note between uses.
• Meditation for Beginners by Stephanie Clement: a friendly guide for anyone who wants the lying-down practice to go deeper.

Is the attraction eye pillow only for romantic love?

No, attraction work covers anything you want to draw toward you: a partner, a circle of friends, the right collaborator, an opportunity. Jasmine and rose are love herbs by tradition, but love in the broad sense. Picture whatever you are calling in and let the scent hold the intention for you.

How do I cleanse a scented fabric eye pillow?

Cleanse it with smoke, sound, or moonlight rather than water. Pass it through incense or a lit herb bundle, ring a bell above it, or leave it on a windowsill overnight under the moon. Water and washing can fade both the scent and the flannel, so keep the pillow dry and store it in a pouch.

Can beginners use an eye pillow in ritual?

Yes, this is one of the easiest ritual tools to begin with because it asks only that you lie down and picture something. Start with five minutes and one clear image. If your mind wanders, breathe in the scent and return to the picture. There is nothing to memorize and no wrong way to rest.

Can I use it for tarot or psychic work instead of attraction?

You can, and many readers do before a reading to quiet the room and settle the eyes. Jasmine has a long association with prophetic dreams in Cunningham's herbal, so it suits dream and intuition work as well. Just be clear each time about which intention you are bringing to the flannel.

How long does the jasmine and rose scent last?

Scent strength depends on how it is stored, so keep the pillow sealed in a pouch or jar between uses to hold the fragrance longer. When it softens, add a few dried jasmine flowers or rose petals to the pouch, or a single drop of attraction oil on the pouch rather than the pillow itself.
