Here is a traditional Scottish love charm from the Carmina Gadelica that makes the person reciting it more attractive and also protects them from the pains of love. Sing it as you pick the plant or make a tea from it. I WILL pluck the yarrow fair, That more benign shall be my face, That more warm shall be my lips, That more chaste shall be my speech, Be my speech the beams of the sun, Be my lips the sap of the strawberry. May I be an isle in the sea, May I be a hill on the shore, May I be a star in waning of the moon, May I be a staff to the weak, Wound can I every man, Wound can no man me.62
