Violets in Magic & Superstition
The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them.....Ralph Waldo Emerson

Violets are bound to Venus and water.  The most well-known use magically seems to be that when mixed with Lavender in a sachet, Violets make a strong love combination.   Carrying Violet flowers on the person brings good luck, and putting the flowers in dream pillows enhances prophetic dreams and divination. 

Violets can also be used in spells for good luck, money, protection, faithfulness, lust, wishes, peace, and healing, particularly after a relationship break-up.  Use the leaves to absorb evil spells and ill will.  It is said that if you dream of Violets, your life is about to change for the better.  Another belief is that if you harvest the first Violet in the spring, your wish will be granted.
