 Calendula was attributed many fantastic virtues by the older herbalists. The salve, preferably cooked in goats lard, was used for burns, bruises and sunburns like it is today. (Minus the goats) |
 Marigolds are called after the Virgin Mary. In Macer's Herbal it is stated that only to look on Marigolds will draw evil humours out and strengthen the eyesight.
Calendula, called "Marygold" or "sunbride" in the Middle Ages, was sacred to the Norse goddess Freya and was used for love magic.
Claudia Muller-Ebeling, Wolf-Deieter Storl Witchcraft Medicine(1998) | | |
 A lotion made from one cup of fresh calendula blossoms simmered in two cups of milk is an excellent wash for the complexion. | | For a sore throat or indigestion, drink calendula tea or use it to gargle, for scrapes and bruises apply the tea directly to your skin |
