đź«’ Magickal Uses for Olive?

Hmm… I’ve never really thought about the correspondences of an olive or olive tree in magick :thinking: The one thing that immediately comes to my mind is the phrase “olive branch” in terms of arguments and disagreements. You know, the one about extending an olive branch – I think it comes from the Bible, that I know of. In this case, I would imagine anything relating to olives would have to do with peace and overcoming challenges.

So, I did some digging… :olive: (and I also didn’t know we had an olive emoji lol) and here’s what I found from various sources online!
