Folklore:

Skullcap's common name derives from the shape of its flower, which resembles a medieval helmet or skull cap. In European folk magic, it was believed that wearing skullcap could protect the wearer from madness and confusion, acting as a shield for the mind. Native American traditions honoured skullcap as a sacred herb for ceremony and healing, using it to promote peace and spiritual clarity.

In Victorian flower language, skullcap symbolised tranquillity and was often included in herbal pillows to ensure restful sleep. Witches and cunning folk throughout history have valued skullcap for its ability to calm racing thoughts and open the gateway to the otherworld, making it an essential herb for divination, trance work, and spirit communication.

The herb was traditionally gathered under the waning moon to enhance its calming properties, and kept in blue cloth to preserve its peaceful vibrations. In Appalachian folk magic, skullcap was sewn into poppets and mojo bags to bring peace to troubled relationships and ensure fidelity between lovers.
