Fennel has a long history of use in natural healing and folk magic. Traditionally, it was hung over doorways or it's seeds were poked into keyholes to prevent witches, evil spirits or ghosts from entering the home. The seeds can also be ingested to relieve nausea, which might come in handy if the first use doesn't end up working. #MythologyMonday#folklore#FolkMagic#magic#PlantLore@folklore@mythology
