About thyme
The ancient Greeks burned thyme in their temples, and Roman soldiers bathed in it for courage. In the Middle Ages, ladies gave knights a sprig of thyme as a token of bravery.
In folk magic thyme is a herb of courage, and a sprig under the pillow was said to keep away bad dreams.
In a potion
Add it to confidence potions, or to a peace jar for restful sleep.
Safety
For rituals and display only, not for eating or drinking. Keep away from children and pets, and store dry, out of direct sunlight.
Herb meanings describe folk tradition and belief, not medical advice.
