Snapdragon Pod Dome

Antirrhinum Majus, my favourite little Hex breakers and witches ally. Ruled by Mars and Fire. I like to think of them as the gargoyles of the plant world.

The Romans believed snapdragons had the power to protect them from witchcraft and could ward off evil spirits. Dioscorides, a Greek physician, wrote that protection would be given to anyone who wore snapdragons around their neck as well. The belief in their protective powers extended into the Middle Ages when they were planted near the gates of European castles.

Corked glass domes 8cm in height.
