The Plant
Thyme is inextricably associated with the Midi in France. It grows there in a wild state where it can be found effortlessly while walking around and has become a hallmark of the regional cuisine. From a therapeutic viewpoint its reputation goes back to the oldest botanical treatises, confirmed by Moderns. The Greeks held it in high esteem and associated it with the cult of Hecate. In northern Europe, the plant was consecrated to Freija, the Nordic equivalent of Venus, proving that thyme has always been married with the vital forces of the feminine principle.
