A Witch's Garden: Agrimony


Disclaimer

This is NOT a page about Wiccans or neo-pagans, and I do not advocate the belief that Wiccans are Satan-worshippers and/or baby-killers. I am well aware that they are not. This is a starting point for historical research into the great witch craze of 1100-1700 AD. And please, don't ask me for spells.


Agrimony

As a Ward

[Agrimony]

When combined with maiden-hair fern, rue, broom-straw, and ground ivy, agrimony is said "in the Tyrol to confer fine vision, and to point out the presence of witches" (Thiselton-Dyer 56).
