Folklore of Nettle: According to the Anglo-Saxon “Nine Herbs Charm,” Nettles were used as a protection against “elf-shot” and “flying venom”. Elf-shot was mysterious pains in humans or livestock caused by the arrows of the elvin folk. Flying venom was believed at the time to be one of the four primary causes of illness.
In Norse myth nettles were associated with Thor, the god of Thunder. Loki, the trickster god, whose magical fishing net is made from them.
In Celtic lore, thick stands of nettles indicate that there are fairy dwellings close by, and the sting of the nettle protects against fairy mischief, black magic, and other forms of sorcery.
