Cherished for generations, the peony is one of the most carefree and powerful magical plants that can be planted near your threshold. Known in Grandma’s day by the folk name piney, they’ve been used in medicine and magic since ancient times. Planted near the threshold, the peony protects against evil spirits. It was even used in exorcisms long ago. Cut for a vase arrangement, peonies will also protect the inside of the home. Blooming begins in May, but the entire plant has protective powers. It blooms in white, cream, red, and various shades of pink. I know you’ll find one you’ll love. [1]
