Fig

Fig trees were one of the first plants to be cultivated. Perhaps even the first plant. The Bible speaks of Adam and Eve, who after tasting the forbidden fruit, are ashamed of their nakedness and hide it with fig leaves. Since then, figs have been considered a link between consciousness and the unconscious, as a form of intermediary between the conscious and unconscious worlds. It is believed that the aroma of fig stimulates powers of clairvoyance and the ability to listen to oneself. In magic, the scent of fig is linked to conscious dreaming, intuition and premonition.
