Mullein thrives where other plants would struggle to survive. It is resilient. The leaves, flowers, and roots of Mullein are traditional medicines, while the dead stalks have been used in ceremonies and rituals for centuries.
Mullein candles (historically referred to as mullein torches or “hag tapers”) date back at least 2,000 years to ancient Rome and ancient Greece.
Some mullein folklore:
Carrying a twig of Mullein will guard against fear, wild animals, and approaching evil. (1000 AD)
Mullein could drive away harmful spirits and protect against enchantment.
Placing Mullein beneath a pillow can guard against nightmares.
A person bent a Mullein stalk toward their beloved’s home and watched what happened afterward. If the plant returned upright, the affection was believed to be mutual.
Thank you Sara for another wonderful class honoring the land, this sanctuary and the community. And for providing these classes to support the animals at Fluffy Butt Rescue.
