A Witch's Garden: Fennel

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.

Fennel

Known for its healing properties, stalks of fennel were wielded by the benandanti in their battles against evil witches (Guiley 1989 24).
