Origanum vulgare, as it is known by its botanical name, has many different genus or variations of the same plant. The name Oregano stems from the Greek words “oros” and “ganos” to form the meaning “mountain happiness”. It is said that Greeks in the countryside would adorn the heads of newlyweds with wreaths of oregano to bless them with joy in their marriage. In the Greek and Italian magical traditions, oregano is associated with the practices of Stregheria, a form of herbal witchery. In this belief system, oregano has strong properties of protection and some brew a tea of oregano to wash down homes to place a protective barrier for the family. It also has been said that planting a pot of oregano by the front door will also protect the home.
