Cleavers belong to the Rubiaceae family which includes the Bedstraw and Woodruff plants. Many of the folk names of this species are derived from it's clingy nature. The specific name Aparine is derived from the Greek word aparo, to seize. Loveman is another nickname, and is simply an anglicized version of the Greek name Philanthropon, which described this plant's clinging nature.
Ruled by restrictive Saturn, it can be used to bind something close to you, and the Elemental ruler of Water associates it with love and our emotions.
There are two types of spells that come to mind when we think of binding magick. Firstly is binding someone to stop them from doing harm to yourself or your family, and secondly is binding someone to you in the sense of making a commitment to you (a marriage is a binding contract), this herb relates to the latter and Cleavers can be used to strengthen the bond in existing relationships.
Cleavers can be used in travel sachets or spells. Sleep with a sachet of Cleavers several nights before departing and you will receive dreams about your upcoming journey.
