    (Narthecium ossifragum) [also called Goose Leek or Daffodil] belongs
    to the lily family. In Greek legend it was identified with the dead and
    the underworld: it was planted on graves and associated with Persephone.
    The narcissus is the asphodel of the poets. In the past tea* was made
    from the roots and drunk to provoke menstrual flow, and was boiled with
    myrrh to be used as an eye strengthener. It is fatal to mice.

    In magic the flower is placed in the altar during love drawing spells,
    or is carried or worn in a woman's hair for this same purpose (common
    as hair decorations at the Wiccan Beltane).
