Today’s
word is Fennel. It’s a tall plant,
which reaches up to 6-8 feet. Fennel
has blue stripes on its stem, with large umbels of yellow flowers, and a strong
licorice scent.
Fennel was used in fertility and
virility spells. Some people hung it above their backdoor on midsummer’s eve.
This was to banish hostile entities and bad luck from their home.
Hope
all enjoyed today’s post and comes back tomorrow to find out what word I chose
that begins with the letter, “G”.
Have a great day and remember:

I had no idea Fennel was used for such purposes. Interesting arrangement of flowers on the stem too.

I have a lot of fennel in my garden - as do most people who have one plant to start with! It's certainly fertile and virile :) I hope it continues to banish hostile entities from my home. Haven't had too much bad luck either, so far... Thanks for the post!
