🏵Calendula is a genus of 20 species of the daisy family Asteraceae, also known as marigolds. The nickname comes from "Mary's gold" referring to the Virgin Mary because the flower was used in early Catholic events. Ancient Greeks and Romans made crowns and garlands from calendula for many rituals and ceremonies. Marigolds from the Tagetes family are sacred in India and have been used as a decoration for deity statues. Aztecs also valued highly these species for their power to guide the spirits to the altar. In Mexico marigolds are still used during the celebrations in the Day of the Dead. Later in history, Calendula was included in the Victorian floral language in which she meant "pain and grief". Calendula is associated with death, rebirt, prophetic dreams, psychic powers and protection. It was commonly used during funerals. A 16th century potion with calendula claimed to reveal fairies. In witchcraft calendula is used as an offering and in spells to bring justice, protection, prophetic dreams and to empower the psychic abilities of the practitioner.
