Mentions about the death of Judas Iscariot, presented as a negative figure because of handing Jesus over to death, can be found in the Holy Scriptures, in the Gospel of St. Matthew and in the Acts of the Apostles, as well as in biblical literature. According to the most widespread opinion, the apostle committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree whose name was not specified. Apocrypha, various legends and tradition mention representatives of at least seven genera of trees, which, incidentally, have medicinal properties, although it is difficult to pinpoint the species. In an attempt to determine it, selected trees were presented and the possibilities of using them as a tool for the execution of Judas were discussed, discussing in turn: the size and shape of the tree, its area of occurrence and symbolism.

Medicinal plants constitute a fairly large group in the world. Among them, there are many species that are used not only in medicine and herbal medicine, as a source of raw materials containing valuable active substances. According to the beliefs disseminated years ago, these are plants that, apart from their medicinal qualities, are also characterized by specifi c, unusual, non-medical properties. Thanks to this, they can be used in sui generis magical activities, usually contrary to generally accepted social norms (i.e. not always honest) or giving hope for a quick, but not risk-free, gaining of temporal goods. These are usually activities related to characteristic signs-rituals, and therefore of a ritual rather than moral or customary nature. About a dozen of such medicinal plants, occurring mainly in Poland, growing in nature and/or cultivated, which were considered magical at the same time, will be discussed in this paper.
