A Witch's Garden: Dill
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.

As a Ward

In Celtic folklore, dill, also known as anet or soyah, was supposed to be able to strip a witch of her will (Miller - Dill). Dill could also be worn as a talisman against sorcery (Thiselton-Dyer 66).
