Folk Lore Notes

In old European folk tradition, agrimony was sometimes called “Church Steeples” due to its tall flowering stalk. It was believed to break enchantments and even release someone from binding spells.

In some traditions, placing agrimony under a pillow would cause a person under a spell to awaken from magical sleep.
