Other names for honeysuckle include Irish vine, woodbine, fairy trumpets, honeybind, trumpet flowers, goats leaf and sweet suckle.
The old name Woodbine describes the twisting, binding nature of the honeysuckle through the hedgerows.
It was believed that if honeysuckle grew around the entrance to the home it prevented a witch from entering. In other places it’s believed that grown around the doors it will bring good luck. If it grows well in your garden, then you will be protected from evil. In Ireland honeysuckle was believed to have a power against bad spirits, and it was used in a drink to cure the effects of the evil eye.
