A Witch's Garden: Judas Tree
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.
Judas Tree

The Judas tree was considered a favourite of witches, "perhaps on account of its traditionary association with the apostle" (Thiselton-Dyer 57). It was considered foolhardy to approach a Judas tree after nightfall.
