Did you know…

            … ancient civilizations burned aster leaves to ward off evil spirits?

The people of ancient Greece strongly believed in the power of asters to ward off evil spirits and as a repellent to keep serpents out of their homes.

Asters were also used in wreaths which were placed on altars in honour of Hecate, the Goddess of Magic and Witchcraft.

the summer dawns, and October woods!
