"Worthy of mention also, in Leland's Book [Charles Leland, Magic and Occult Remedies, 1892]
is the story about the walnut witches. Manuscripts from old witch trials in Italy speak of this
walnut tree which (it is said) had always been there and was in leaf all year long. For centuries,
legends were told of the great witch gatherings in the town of Benevento, at the site of an ancient
walnut tree. In the year 662 A.D., Saint Barbato converted the Duke of Benevento (a pagan) to
Christianity and had the tree cut down. The witches replanted the walnut tree from seed, and
legend says it still stands in Benevento. Bottles of Strega Liguore, manufactured in Benevento
today, bear labels upon which appears the old walnut tree with a group of witches and satyrs
dancing around it." This activity was associated with the worship of the Goddess Diana.
- Raven Grimassi, Ways of the Strega, 1995, p. 11
"Some scholars say the term derives from the Teutonic German wallnuss or welsche nuss
and and others from the Anglo-Saxon word wealh meaning foreign or alien and hnutu meaning
nut. It's difficult to trace the native home of the walnut tree, but ancient Romans believe it
originated in Persia. Early cultivation spanned from southeastern Europe to Asia Minor
to the Himalayas. Greek usage of walnut oil dates back to the fourth century B.C., nearly a
century before the Romans. Franciscan priests brought the walnut to California, USA around
1770."
Peggy Trobridge, Walnut Recipes and Cooking
"Drive through the verdant valleys of the P�rigord Noir and you cannot help but be struck by the
majestic groves of walnut trees that grace the landscape. Although the trees you see today are
newer, there is evidence that the walnut has existed in this corner of the world for 17,000 years
or more, and that the nuts figured into the diet of Cr�-Magnon man. The walnut has played a
prominent role in the local culture and commerce since then. Tenth-century peasants paid their
debts off with the nuts; 11th-century peasants were expected to tithe walnuts to the church;
13th-century merchants considered walnut oil as precious as gold; and in the 18th century,
walnut oil as well as wine constituted a thriving trade on the waters of the Dordogne toward
Bordeaux and beyond to the Netherlands, Germany, and Great Britain."
