Raspberry Uses

Hey everyone!

So earlier today I was checking on my garden, and I noticed that the first raspberry on my raspberry bush is finally ripe- I'm wondering if there are any good uses for raspberries in spells or rituals? Especially the first one of the season to grow?

I have never used them in any spells or rituals before.

Thanks for reading this!

Hey Their!

Raspberries are rich in polyphenolic compounds that are well known for their anti-Cancer properties.

Offering: If you are working with a Deity "God or Goddess" provide them with an offering of the berry.

Ritual/Spell: Cleanse them in water to purify the berry. Adding your intentions while preforming this act. You can then eat it yourself or give them to another person, and enjoy the fresh berry/berries.

Here's a couple of sites with information about the magical uses of raspberry.

Never used it in ritual before, but a tea made of raspberry leaves can help ease difficulties associated with stomach ulcers.
