In Norse mythological stories, the daisy symbolizes the goddess Freya, goddess of fertility and love. The Celts ate daisies and attributed a beneficial, rejuvenating effect to them. The Celtic fairy Milka is said to have let a king's son secretly eat daisies so that he never grew to maturity; it remained a child. In a city gate in Babylon, daisies have been processed as a tribute to the god Ishtar. Pliinius the Elder, belonging to the ancient Romans, saw in a daisy a plant that can be combined well with mugwort because of its medicinal and nutritious effect. In the Middle Ages, daisy was dried and pounded into a powder. When one had a wound, this powder was mixed with oil, grease or water and applied to the wound so that it heals faster. They know this because the crusaders used it.
