From Butterflimoon's kitchen... ONIONS--M. Henry

ONIONS... not just to cook with:

Onions have long been credited with healing and protective properties.  Eating them is helpful in preventing and fighting the common cold.  It is also said that placing a sliced one in the sick room will speed recovery, and modern research has shown that slices will attract germs too!  It was once said that school boys expecting trouble physically would rub cut onions upon thier skin to help deal with pain.  Also cut onions rubbed upon the sting of wasps can ease this pain.  Hot onions was often used as a poultice to draw bruises and boils.  Magically onions are also used for healing and protection, love and prosperity spells.  Sliced onion can be used to clean and cleanse magical tools, especially those made of metal.  For magical healing rub half an onion over the affected part and then burn it.  It was once said that placing half an onion under the pillow will bring dreams of a lover to be...but may not be good for sleep...the smell is not wonderful for skin and hair.  To decide between two or more partners, carve their names into separate onions and put them in a warm place.  Whichever sprouts first will have the strongest love for you.  Onion skins should also never be dropped upon the floor, this will remove prosperity, but onions can be burned to draw money to you.  My mother once told me that you should have onions in your home...no one will ever go hungry in your home!  Finally to protect your home, hang a string of small onions in your kitchen by a black pin facing the window. (notes from K.W. and B.O.S.)
Remember that this information is simply food for thought from Butterflimoon's kitchen.  Tis a basic to begin your road of learning, spark your own magic.
