Linden Leaf & Flower
Tilia
europea
The linden's connection to
justice and authority is manifested in its history as a "court" tree:
in Celtic areas, court cases were often heard under linden trees,
because folks considered that the linden inspired fairness and justice.
We can see a strong connection to Jupiter here, which rules interaction
with authority and court cases. In contrast, in Greek mythology, the
linden tree became the form of the wife in a couple who gave
hospitality to Hermes and Zeus (the oak was the form the husband took),
and in the Baltic, the linden is a symbol for the souls of women who
have died. This magic herb is traditionally used for nervousness,
hysteria, and excitability, and it also helps digestion, especially if
the person is nervous. Tea is made from 1 teaspoon of herb to 1 cup of
boiling water; infuse for 10 minutes. People usually take one cup of
the tea three times a day, but as with any herb tea, don't drink every
day for a long period. Drunk hot, it helps promote sweating, which in
turns helps alleviate colds. Two handfuls boiled in a quart of water,
strained, and poured into the bath are helpful for relieving
nervousness and for Jovian protection and calm. Also known as lime,
tileul, tilio, tiglia, bee tree, linn, whitewood, .
