…Imagine,  every desire came true… Just make a wish and ZAP! … it will happen… HOW?

If you have a MANDRAKE!

 .

.

MANDRAKE is the common name for members of the plant genus Mandragora, particularly the species Mandragora officinarum, belonging to the nightshades family (Solanaceae). Because mandrake contains deliriant hallucinogenic tropane alkaloids such as atropine, scopolamine, apoatropine, hyoscyamine and the roots sometimes contain bifurcations causing them to resemble human figures, their roots have long been used in magic rituals, today also in contemporary pagan traditions such as Wicca and Odinism.source:- Wikipawdia-

This plant was wellknown in old Egypt since the 3rd century after christus, in Greek and in most countries of europe. It was common for preparing a love potion or a night cap, even for the endless sleep – maybe if the love potion failed – who knows? Otherwise it should lead you to an endless prosperity, fame and a long or endless life. Sounds magic? – Of course it is magic!

Alleged owner of a MANDRAKE: Paracelsus, Johanna of Orleans, Emperor Rudolf the II. or Adolf Hitler

HOW TO GET ONE:

 .

IN PAST TIMES:

In the middle age they used the root of the MANDRAKE for magic rituals, as defensive magic, against enemies and for getting more wonga in the piggy bank. The MANDRAKE should be grown under gallows or on places for executions, “watered” with blood of the deliquents. You had to be careful while exhuming the plant, because her scream is deadly. Some old lore say a black dog has to drag the MANDRAKE out of the floor, so he will die instead of the “sorcerer” by the scream – but this is hogwash, if you ask me. If you want something – get it – but on your own risk.

 .

If you got one you had to bath it first in wine, then you should dress it up in silk, that’s easy because the shape of this root most  is similiar to a human. You had to feed your MANDRAKE with white bred and wine and she needs a “bed” inside a chest.

TODAY:

You can order the MANDRAKE via internet or buy it in a plant store or a store for magic things. Be careful, most offered roots via internet are fakes, so you are on the right side with buying seeds. The price is approx. $2 for 4 or 6 seeds. First place it over night in a wet paper towel on a warm place. Later you can plant it in a flower pot till the seeds are coming up. It’s important to plant it now outdoor (with due regard to the seasons) because they are kicking the bucket in a flower pot – no idea why. Please make sure to plant the MANDRAKE on a safe place – it’s toxic. Now you have nothing more to do than to wait till your plant get roots, then you can prepare this root like above. You have to wait at least one year then the roots are approx.4-6 inches long. Best time to plant a MANDRAKE is spring&summer. During the winter you need a growing equipment like a bud breeder, but in this case a MANDRAKE is useless, you should have enough wonga and you are famous enough – at least at your local police department.

We haven’t a MANDRAKE, because my mom has 10 thumbs but not one of them is green(see picture above). So she”pampered” the plants two times to death. This spring we will try it again – or we try our luck with bud and open a bakery.
