The Symbolic or Cultural Significance of White Baneberry

The white baneberry does not hold much symbolic, cultural, or feng shui significance. Its most striking feature is its bright white berries that often resemble human eyes, which may carry connotations of attentiveness or vigilance in some cultures. However, the plant's beauty is deceptive; every part of it is widely considered poisonous if ingested. Therefore, it's not typically used in traditional holistic practices or feng shui as it might symbolise danger, deceit, or hidden threats.
