Some say the name, "belladonna" [beautiful lady] came about because Italian women used a tincture of it to dilate their pupils and thus appear more attractive, but "Belladonna" also contains the name "Bellona" in it, so the name might just be a way of naming the goddess without naming her. Bellona was a favorite of Roman soldiers; her priests used belladonna in religious ritual. Bellona represented the frenzy of battle and was variously identified as the wife, sister, or daughter of Mars. Her festival was June 3. In West European magick, this crone herb was allegedly an ingredient in flying ointments; even now it is considered a witchcraft essential. It was once used medicinally in minute doses, but reaction to it was too variable for safety.
