Symbolism and Magical Properties
Lily of the valley symbolizes purity, tenderness, happiness, affection, loyalty, and love. For a long time, many magical properties have been attributed to it. The influence of lily of the valley directly depended on the time the flowers were gathered, particularly the phases of the moon.

Moon Phases and Their Influence
For example, it was believed that if lilies of the valley were gathered before the new moon, they increased sensitivity and could lead to infidelity, making them harmful in malicious hands. To awaken romantic feelings and loyalty, these flowers had to be gathered only during the full moon. Additionally, to use lilies of the valley in magical rituals, the flowers were gathered before the full moon at sunrise.

Romantic and Protective Properties
To awaken tenderness in a man and passion in a woman, it was advised to place a bouquet of lilies of the valley in the bedroom near the bed. If it was necessary to cleanse the house or the space around a person from negative energy, lilies of the valley should be planted in the yard.

Memory Enhancement and Emotional Support
It is believed that lilies of the valley help strengthen memory and develop intellectual abilities. Some healers recommend using lily of the valley as a calming agent, which excellently relieves tension (but only in very small doses, as they are dangerous in large quantities). These flowers help combat oppressive moods and melancholy (using live flowers, aromatic oils, and amulets). The scent of lily of the valley brings joy and clears the mind.
