History and folklore
Honeysuckle grows wild across Europe, Asia and North America, its tubular blossoms prized for their sweet nectar. In English folklore, honeysuckle brought into the house was said to bring a wedding, and a vine growing around the door was traditionally thought to keep away bad luck and attract good fortune. Its embracing, twining habit made it a symbol of devoted love. Modern witches use honeysuckle for prosperity, affection, protection and heightening psychic awareness.
