I was a believer as a child (still am now *cough *cough*) in all things that are mystical and esoteric.
Imagine my utter glee when I came across this quote on Wickipedia:
"In medieval Sweden, it was sometimes placed in the wedding clothes of the groom to ward off the "envy" of the elves" the Envy of elves- I mean I am sure that we have all encountered some right old trolls over the years but envious elves- well I never ha ha.
Elf possibly a little envious :) |
Anyway, the reason I was even googling Valerian is because I have found a delicious new night-time tea and it contains Valerian.
