Creeping Charlie

My mother told me this is Creeping Charlie (also known as Alehoof, Catsfoot, Field Balm, Gill-over-the-ground, Ground Ivy, Run-away-robin, Tunhoof, and, more scientifically, Glechoma hederacea.) It is another one of the many wonderful plants growing at my parents’ house.

    and it’s yellow lover, creeping jenny.

    i call this ground ivy.

    charlie causes harmony to household dwellers on the property it grows.

    charlie is a cure all, and has so many medicinal uses. The most common is as a soothing topical toner. (toxic in large doses)

    charlie is a GIRL by the way. She has many many names.

    most who use charlie for medical purposes and powers call her ” Lizzy run up the hedge”.

    she brings luck and divination.

    used to find those working negative energy against you in traditional candle magic.

    Lisa’s use for Ground Ivy~ halo wreaths of Lizzy run up the hedge bring visions in color and allow you to see evil coming clearer from far away.
