Arith Härger | Viking Magical Plants and the Nine Herbs of Woden @ArithH%C3%A4rger | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
On this video let us see the herbs and plants mostly used in the Viking Age, at least according to Ethnobotany applied to Archaeology. And I take the opportunity to explore the Nine Herbs Charm ("Nigon Wyrta Galdor"), an Old English poem which tells us about powerful nine herbs, and a peculiar mention to the god Woden.

The nine herbs in question from the Nigon Wyrta Galdor / The Nine Herbs Charm:

mucgwyrt - Mugwort
wegbrade - Plantain
Stune - Stune Lamb's cress
Stiðe - Nettle
Attorlaðe - Cockspur grass / Betony
Mægðe - Camomile
Wergulu - Apple
Fille - Thyme / Chervil
Finule - Fennel
