Caraway

Caraway is a biennial of the carrot family, native to western Asia, Europe and North Africa, and Wikipedia also calls it meridian fennel. Cunningham calls it masculine, with Mercury and air, and lists protection, lust, health, theft-proofing and mental powers. He carries the seeds against Lilith, evil spirits and negativity, puts them in any object to make it theft-proof, uses them in sachets to encourage fidelity and attract a mate, bakes them into lust-inducing cakes, and has a small bag placed in a child's bed against illness. Kynes adds Gemini, Virgo, Mars and the deities Artemis and Hermes, and lists confidence, love, loyalty, protection and sex. She records caraway sprinkled in coffins and baked into bread to drive off dwarfs and demons, and sells seeds and an essential oil to start changes in your life.
