Hints To Help
Block Witches Wiles
With October drawing to a
close and Halloween almost at
hand, some helpful suggestions
as to how to deal with witches
may be of value.
Walking home on a black
night can be disconcertin when
the dry leaves blown by the wind
grab for you ankles! Imagine tur
ning the corner, and there, in the
moonlight, stands a figure on
your doorstep. Is it a witch, or
not? How do you know?
To help in making this judg
ment, the early Brittons carried
little bags of rue, agrimony or
maidenhair fern around their
necks. These twitched a bit in
the presence of witches, alerting
the wearer to take evasive ac
tion, and in any case warded
them off.
Other witch-repellent plants
included broomstraw and
ground ivy.
But witches on doorsteps were
rarely a problem. They were
more often found on hilltops
under basswood, oak or pear
trees; it was a good practice not
to linger under these. In the
woods, too, certain trees were
favored by witches: rebud,
walnut and elder; these being in
some fashion employed in witch
generated evil.
As long as a person avoided
forests with these trees, he or she
was out of reach of the spells
concocted there.
It was thought that witches
hated the color red, it reminding
them of blood. Thus, the wear
ing of red clothing this time of
year, or of holly berries in the
hair, would ward them off.
In this region, berries from
nandina or firethorn might be
expected to be efficacious,
though they have, presumably,
not been scientifically examined
in this respect. In some places.
the wearing of yellow flowers, or
alternatively, twigs of the moun
tain ash, could scare the witches
away.
The witch employed a wide
range of poisonous plants in
cooking up a brew, using
hemlock, adder’s tongue,
nightshade, poppy and, most po
tent of all mandrake. If the witch
got to a person with such a con
coction, the victim’s family
could counteract it with a potion
made of cyclamen, angelica,
snapdragon and herb betony. If
the situation was serious, dill and
flax could be added for super
strength protection.
With all of these botanical
aids, one would suppose that any
sensible witch would hop on her
broom, made of bulrushes or
reeds, and fly off into the night
for safety.
