Celandine

Celandine is a poisonous herb that also goes by the name of Celydoyne, Chelidonium, Devil’s Milk, Greater Celandine, Kenning Wort, Swallow Herb, Swallow-Wort and Tetterwort.

It is a native of Europe and a member of the Poppy family and is considered of masculine gender and associated with the power of the Sun and the element of Fire. The origin of its name is said to come from the Greek word “chelidon” which means swallow because people believed that it flourished with the bird’s arrival and withered when it departed. It should not be confused with the Lesser Celandine, which is a different plant that belongs to the Buttercup family.
