Practical and Magical Uses for Dandelions

Traditionally, dandelions have often appeared in pagan rituals. The buttery blossoms and bright green leaves accent altars for spring and summer celebrations, especially the Vernal Equinox, Beltane, and Litha. They can be woven into garlands, wreaths, and ropes to be worn or draped across altars. Towards autumn, pluck the silvery orbs to adorn your altar for Lammas, Mabon, or Samhain.

Alternatively, you could design your own rituals to celebrate dandelions, or to take advantage of their many properties. Here is a listing of posts about Dandelions and how to use them.
