Description
Due to its prolific nature, mint (spearmint, peppermint or water mint) is strongly associated with abundance. Its bright green leaves resemble money and can be placed in a wallet, purse, or cash register to bring abundance to one's life or used in prosperity sachets and spells to invite money.
Mint’s association with its deities actually comes from old folklore. It’s said that there was a nymph called Mentha (sometimes spelt Minthe) who caught the eye of Hades and became his lover. When Hades chose Persephone over her, she became angry and antagonized Persephone. In retaliation, Persephone turned her into the plant we now know as mint. The same story comes in many variations, with some saying that Hades loved her and Persephone became so jealous she tuned Mentha into a plant. Others state that Persephone became so angry that she trampled Mentha into the dust, after which Hades turned her trampled form into a mint plant so that she would live on forever.
