Like me, you probably grew up hearing that witches and warts on their faces went together, but we are wrong - it should be worts! Remember that plants like St. John's Wort, or in this case Stinkwort and you are on the right track. Toted as a great herb for depression and a slew of other associated conditions. Witches have been partnering with worts since time immemorial to heal themselves and their fellow humans. Worts are any plant, lichen or fungus used for healing. The line between food and medicine was much more blurred in the past and any items gathered found themselves in everyday teas, brews, and stews. Brewers are familiar with worts as the base of their beer, a sweet grainy soup broth which serves as the growth medium for yeasts to transform sugar into alcohol.
Our herbs and traditional plants are dried and carefully stored. They can be used to dress market stalls or for 'Witch Doctors', Offerings & Talisman as well as the dark medicines and otherworldly fauna. Casting a spell needs various ingredients so we have plenty of items which will look perfect together with these as they are, or prepared, chopped & deflowered ready for the pot. Used for witchcraft and spells ingredients.
They are available in large quantities to be hanging from herb racks in the kitchen, piled up in baskets as if just collected from the woods, on stalls or over tables for the local market or magician's alley.
Commonly known as stinkwort or stinking fleabane, is a plant species in the sunflower family, native to southern Europe, North Africa, and western Asia.
