Witchy Herbarium, Basil Phone Case

Basil hides conflicting meanings about love and death. In one of XV’s century novel written by Italian poet Boccaccio, it's told the tragic love story between two lovers: the two brothers of a noblewoman, whose name was Isabetta, killed the love of her life when they discovered his humble origins, and buried him in secret. When the girl discovered the horrible crime she decided to take the head of his lover, and hide it in the dirt of a basil pot near her window. She watered it everyday with her own tears, before she died of heartache.
