Magical herbs used in funeral rituals

Summary/Abstract: Ever since antiquity several herbs were used in funeral rituals. Some herbs were used to honor the deceased, others were used in magic rituals, but all had the purpose to grant the souls of the dead a successful passage to the other world. There were also herbs who were used by the living as protection against the undead. This habit was forwarded in time to the present day, as the family of the defunct must carefully and dutifully observe many funeral rituals. In this article we try to illustrate the role played by magical herbs in funeral rituals and in guiding the soul to the afterworld.
