    Also known as “Thor’s Beard”, Houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum) planted in a pot and placed on the roof will protect a house from lightning.

    The houseleek is not a native plant and the tradition would have been borrowed from Classical practice, and indeed the plant retains its pagan latin name Jovisbarda (Jupiters Beard) and in some areas of England it is known as Thorsbeard.
