Anecdotal: Stachys is powerful Deer Medicine. Its link to abundance replaces fear and disillusionment with peace and assurance. Stachys is at its best as vernal equinox medicine that renews expression, enthusiasm and confidence. Stachys affords inordinate protection against nightmares, terrifying visions and malevolent spirits in general. Its root can be worn as an amulet for these problems. Stachys creates an environment of receptiveness to the guidance of benevolent spirits. Perhaps the use of Stachys fibers for nets could in fact be used as fibers for articles such as dream catchers or any number of net-like objects used to attract good things.
