*An herb today �?Dill *


Latin: /Anethum graveolens/
Common names: Dill weed, garden dill

Besides its obvious use in the kitchen (what would pickles be without dill!),
dill has a number of magickal uses as well. Both the herbal parts and the seeds
can be used. It's best known for its protective power, but is also used in
spells for love (and lust) as well as money and prosperity.

During the Middle Ages, dill was a common ingredient for charms to protect
against witches and witchcraft. The most common way to use dill for protection
is to hang dried bundles of the herbs around your house.

Crowns of dill were used by Roman emperors to ensure they had a long and
prosperous reign.

In very old books of magickal writings, any spells written with ingredients
like Hamadryas baboon tears or baboon hair was actually referring to dill seed.
