The use of herbs in different areas of witchcraft have certainly been written about through the years. I feel we associate the witches cauldron with adding herbs to their potions.
It has been said you can tell if an individual practices witchcraft ( if you do believe) by how they plant their herbs in their garden. Typically a witch’s garden is planted in a circle representing the circle of Life. You will also make note that the outer border has 3 - 4 rows of red colored flowers. This serves as a protective barrier
I find all of this fascinating . The inside of the circle varies depending on the intention of the witch or specific to the nature of her work. I found it interesting that certain ornamental flowers and sacred trees have astrological zodiac associations. For example for my astrological sign of Gemini the association is with snapdragons, filbert, and elder whereas Aquarius is snowdrop and foxglove. This made me really ponder the associations of flowers on specific pottery as Roseville Pottery.
Until tomorrow
