"A young maiden, in love, carefully and attentively embroiders a small bee hovering above a sprig of thyme onto the scarf of the knight she has chosen to be her protector, in hopes it will provide him protection as well, and grant him courage...."

Thyme's magic is...well, timeless.  In Ancient Greece thyme was infused into baths, and in Greek temples the smoke from thyme incense was used to spread courage. Egyptians would embalm their dead using thyme, and the Europeans would place it in coffins to help the dead pass on to the next world.

During the blight of the Black Plague in the 1300s, thyme was used to protect against the disease, and thyme was a major ingredient in many medicinal concoctions. The Victorian era gave life to the belief that a patch of wild thyme in the woods meant that fairies were nearby.

Thyme is a powerful and popular herb for magical practice. It offers protection, but more notably is well-known for its power to grant courage. Warriors of old would stuff thyme in the shoes or wear it as a badge of honor.
