Stinging Nettle

Stinging Nettle the symbol of Protection and Defence. Nettle has long been used in charms as a defence again evil magick and people to prick and sting at those who may approach and cast eyes. Nettle can also be used in left hand workings to cause pain and discomfort.
 
According to the Anglo-Saxon "Nine Herbs Charm," recorded in the 10th century, stiðe (nettles) were used as a protection against "elf-shot" (mysterious pains in humans or livestock caused by the arrows of the elvin folk) and"flying venom" (believed at the time to be one of the four primary causes of illness). In Norse myth, nettles are associated with Thor, the god of Thunder; and with Loki, the trickster god, whose magical fishing net is made from them. In Celtic lore, thick stands of nettles indicate that there are fairy dwellings close by, and the sting of the nettle protects against fairy mischief, black magic, and other forms of sorcery.
