LORE
Betony has a long-established reputation
as being very powerful in its ability
to protect someone against
dark forces and negative energy.
It was once planted on sacred ground,
particularly about churches and was
sometimes planted in graveyards.
It is believed to offer the power to protect against
the darkest fears and the demons which arise out
of one's own emotions and imagination.
USE
During the Middle Ages, betony had
a somewhat superstitious reputation
for its curative and healing power.
This magickal property became near
legendary and at least one myth developed in which,
if the King Stag was wounded, betony would cure him.
Betony remains an excellent herb
for magickal healing.
Modern usage of betony is primarly
for its protective values.
Those who wear an herbal
amulet or medicine pouch should include betony
among the dried herbs and magickal stones chosen
for one's personal spiritual endeavors.
