When eaten, parsley provokes
lust and promotes fertility, but if you are
in love do not cut parsley
---- you'll cut your love as well.
Though the plant has associations
with death and is often regarded as evil,
the
Romans tucked a sprig of parsley
into their togas every morning for protection.
It is placed on plates of food
to guard it from contamination.
Parsley is used in purification baths, and those
to stop all misfortune.
A wreath of parsley worn prevents
(or delays) inebriation.
