About Jasmine

Night-blooming jasmine specifically tied to moon and dream magic.
History & folklore
In India, jasmine is sacred to Vishnu and woven into garlands for weddings and temple offerings. In Persia it was called the 'king of flowers'. Its night-blooming habit linked it with the Moon and with dreams across many cultures.

Growing & gathering
Common jasmine is a climbing plant that needs a warm, sunny wall or a conservatory in cold climates. Pick flowers in the evening when the scent is strongest. Dried jasmine and jasmine tea are easy to buy.
True jasmine is generally safe. Don't confuse it with Carolina or yellow jessamine (Gelsemium), which is highly poisonous.
