St Anastasia
St. Anastasia was a deliverer from poisons and potions, so in her apothecary cabinet I'm putting the nine herbs from the ancient Anglo-Saxon nine herbs charm that was thought to be an antidote for poison, especially venomous bits. So far I've gotten mugwort, plantain, watercress, and betony into their jars.
