In ancient times, fennel was given to warrior before battle, to give them enough courage to secure victory- and this plant remains a staple in the witch’s toolbox to this day! For the witches and cunningfolk, one of the plants most useful powers was the ability to give the second sight, and improve normal sight when prepared with mixtures of other herbs.

Fennel is one of the herbs featured in the Anglo-saxon nine herbs charm, and a potent source of love magic- being used in poppets, amulets and potions. Fennel is famous for being used as ain incense and a decoration during St.John’s vigil. Fennel has to be cultivated for food, or wild harvested to be used in magic- it is seen as an afront to the herb. Luckily, we source ours from herbal cultivation- meaning that it’s certified organic, but is still magically potent.

You get 5 tbsp of the herb per box! For this herb, that works out to approximately 32g.

Mighty Sylvanus of the wild was crowned with fennel- and the wild continues to play a key role in the harvesting of fennel, needing to either be wild harvested or taken out of it’s original purpose to retain it’s magical properties. Fennel is recorded in use in almost every type of infusion, salve and concoction. We see it used in honey to cure the bite of mad dogs, and infused in alcohol to cure snake bite. Combined with either eye bright and sugar -or rose, vervain, rue, and celadine, it allowed people to see. An infusion in alcohol seemed to work with the fiery nature of the plant the most.

Fennel is a naturally protective plant, and was hung above doorways and window to protect the home. Fennel seeds and the ferny tops were placed in key holes to prevent angry ghosts from entering. Fennel also offered personal protection- fennel was often sown into the sole of the left shoe for protection on long journeys.

In some legends, Fennel was the fire of Prometheus. In some, we see this as the plant of knowledge, in others a plant of visioning and intense sexual desire. In some versions of the myth, the increase of the human population was Prometheus’s revenge upon Zeus.
