A Witch's Garden: Cinquefoil
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.
Cinquefoil

Cinquefoil was used by witches in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" as part of a potion. In folklore, cinquefoil was used in flying potions (Guiley 1989 255).
