Seed Story

History tells us that Nigella was often used in love spells, shape shifting and other trickery. It also goes by the names ‘Jack in Prison’ and ‘Devil in a Bush’ which indicates just how potent its magic properties can be!
Folklore says that Frederick I, the Roman Emperor was seduced by a green haired water spirit and subsequently drowned in a shallow river in Turkey. Nigella is said to have emerged at the banks of the river and displays the water spirits hair.
