Magic of the Night
The moon is not the only thing that comes alive in the night for a witch's pleasure. The scent and/or buds of many flowers, including jasmine release and bloom in the darkest hours of the night. Like a sweet cloud, jasmine can make any moonlit walk more fragrant, powerful, and magical. It is this aspect that led jasmine to historically be associated with the moon. However, in recent history witches have identified it more with Jupiter. Jasmine is said to correspond specifically with the waxing moon.
