Given its connection to Venus and love, all spell craft for love, sexuality and fertility would benefit from the addition of these flowers. Adding the transformational aspect, it would be useful for releasing any blockages in personal energy of a sexual nature and add power to anything you wish to change in your life. The deep rich colour is also a potent colour of spiritual matters and is sure to promote growth in this area.
