:: He also brought me back some wedding favors from a friend's wedding
: in Morocco. They are little lace and fabric pouches of dried henna
: leaves (like you might see at an American wedding but filled with
: jordan almonds or rice or bird seed). The leaves smell so different
: from the ground henna, which I didn't expect at all.
Fascinating!!!!
I've read so many accounts of henna being used as a traditional
wedding gift (full of baraka and fertility) ... this sounds wonderful!
Can you show me a picture of one of these little bundles? I hadn't
noticed that my henna plants have much fragrance ... hmmmm
Of course you don't bring in henna for body art. It's all for hair,
religious purposes, historical and educational interest. What could
they be thinking?
Henna leaves, henna flowers, orange flowers and rose petals perhaps
sound like a lovely wedding favor!
