Folk Names: Succory, Wild Cherry, Wild
Succory
Gender: Masculine
Planet: Sun
Element: Air
Powers: Removing Obstacles, Invisibility,
Favors, Frugality
Magical Uses: Chicory is used to remove all
obstacles that might crop up in your life. It
is carried for this purpose.
At one time it was thought to make its
possessor invisible, and to open locked
boxes and doors if held against the locks.
But for these last two purposes, chicory
has to be gathered with a gold knife in
perfect silence at noon or midnight on
Midsummer.
If you anoint your body with chicory
juice, you will obtain favors from great persons.
It is also carried to promote frugality
