History and folklore
White clover carpets lawns and meadows across the world, and its creeping stems and sweet flowers have fed bees and grazing animals for centuries. Folklore says a four-leaf clover brings luck, lets the finder see fairies, and protects against mischief; one old saying gives its four leaves to hope, faith, love and luck. In British and Irish tradition clover was tucked into clothing to break enchantments. Because a four-leaf clover is a rare find, many witches treat every one as a small gift.

Safety: Do not swallow it as a remedy if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. White clover can contain compounds that upset grazing animals in large amounts, and moldy clover can harm horses, so keep pets and livestock from eating a lot of it. Gather only from unsprayed lawns, and watch for bees on the flowers.
