===== Magical Uses =====
Dioscorides recommended the alyssum as an amulet, for it has the power to "expel charms." Hung up in the house it protects against fascination, that magical process which is also known as "glamour." Alyssum also has the power to cool down an angry person if placed in the hand or on the body, and was even said to cure hydrophobia (rabies).
