Commonly
associated with Samhain, Yule, and Christmas - nutmeg is found in many traditions around the world. It is one of the traditional spices used in the weekly Jewish ritual to the feminine aspect of God, when warm spices are sniffed to remind us that Her presence should permeate the week, like the sweet smell of a spice permeates the air.
Europeans believed that nutmeg had the power to ward off viruses like the common cold; they even thought that it could prevent the bubonic plague. As a result, the spice was worth more than its weight in gold.
Creole folklore of the 19th century advised sprinkling nutmeg in a woman's left shoe each night at midnight in order to make her crazy with love.
Associated with
Jupiter, nutmeg is warming without creating heat, and its scent gives a feeling of relaxed well-being.
Nutmeg is thought to be an aphrodisiac in many cultures because it is warming and can cause sweating.
