Folklore:

Cornflowers have been revered since ancient times across European cultures. In ancient Egypt, cornflowers were found in Tutankhamun's tomb, placed there to guide and protect the young pharaoh in the afterlife. The flowers were associated with the sky and divine vision, making them sacred to gods of wisdom and prophecy.

In medieval European folk magic, cornflowers were known as 'bachelor's buttons' and were used extensively in love divination. Young women would place cornflower petals in their pockets, and if the petals retained their colour, it meant their love would be true and lasting. Young men wore cornflowers to signal their availability for courtship, and the flowers were exchanged between lovers as tokens of devotion.

In Germanic and Scandinavian traditions, cornflowers were associated with the goddess Freya and were used in fertility magic and abundance spells. The flowers were woven into harvest wreaths and placed on altars to ensure bountiful crops and prosperity. Farmers would scatter cornflower petals in their fields to bless the land and protect against blight.

In British folk magic, cornflowers were valued for their psychic properties. Seers and cunning folk would burn dried cornflowers before scrying or card reading to enhance their visions and ensure accurate divination. The brilliant blue colour was believed to open the third eye and facilitate communication with the spirit world.

Across European traditions, cornflowers were used in protection magic, particularly against the evil eye and malicious magic. The flowers were sewn into amulets and charm bags to ward off hexes and negative energies. In some regions, cornflowers were placed above doorways to prevent harmful spirits from entering the home.

In traditional healing magic, cornflowers were associated with eye health and clear vision—both physical and spiritual. Practitioners would create cornflower waters to cleanse and bless ritual tools, believing the flowers carried the energy of clarity, truth, and divine sight.

Folk tradition held that cornflowers gathered on Midsummer's Day held the most potent magical properties. The flowers were believed to carry the energy of the sun at its peak, making them valuable for all forms of success, abundance, and illumination magic.
