Harvesting
Huisache flowers on the Spring Equinox. A lovely sunny Sunday to be
harvesting these honey-scented blooms it was! The Acacia tree is a very
easy read by the Doctrine of Signatures: each little flower looks like
the Sun, so there is the ruling Planet. Being produced in such great
quantities, the flowers are a natural for Prosperity magick. The little
Suns are thought to bring enlightenment
and illumination, and after harvesting (or just smelling) the rich sweet
scent for a time, one becomes filled with a golden kind of serenity,
which is why the essential oil is used in my Meditation and Friendship
oils, and the resin of related Acacia trees is burned as incense and
used to enhance spiritual pursuits and seek Divine Guidance.
France grows hundreds of acres of this tree, Acacia farnesiana, native to central and South Texas, for the perfumery industry. Here in Texas it is pretty much ignored or considered a "trash tree," sigh.
