A Witch's Garden: Marigold
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.
Marigold
As a Ward

In Celtic folklore, marigold was believed to be able to strip the power from a witch. Marigolds were also known by Corn Marigold, Mary Gowles, Bigold, Buddle, Boodle, Ruddles, and Yellow Ox-eye (Miller - Marigold).
