Magickal Plants Associated with Wednesday – The Fern
The fern is a traditional Witch’s garden plant. Ferns are herbs; they are perennials and prefer growing in the shade. There are over forty species of fern. Whether these are found growing in the wild or tucked into your backyard shade gardens, ferns are practical tical magickal plants. The fern has quite a bit of folk history behind it. It was thought that to grow ferns in the garden was lucky. Faeries were believed to jealously guard the fern, as ferns were thought to grant the power of invisibility. When a fern frond was carried on your person, it was thought to guide the wearer to hidden riches. On an interesting note, ferns are almost always used in fresh flower arrangements. Flower folklore tells us that adding ferns to a fresh flower arrangement increases the power and meanings of the individual blossoms, and it bestows protection on the recipient. In the language of flowers, the fern declares fascination and earnestness.
