Happy International Women’s day! Today I took a stroll with the pups, and took in some much needed spring. Enjoying the bees buzzing and crickets chirping. Pictured here are Lupine. Lupine, or Wolf Plant, as the name suggests, is a Jotunheim plant that is especially bound to werewolves. In some magickal texts the recipe might call for “Blood from a head” It can be used to absorb psychic and magical "radiation" and as such is good for cleaning up serious psychic "messes". Associated to Mars Powder the leaves, root, and especially the seeds for this task. Do not ingest as it is mildly poisonous. The first records of Lupins were found in tombs of the twelth Dynasty of Egyptian Pharaos, 2000 years BC where seeds of the Lupinus digitatus were discovered. The most ancient evidence were seven seeds of the same species which were discovered in the twelth Dynasty tombs dating back to the 22nd century BC. Of the roughly 300 described species of lupine, the majority contain toxic alkaloids, and lupine poisoning is a common cause of livestock death in the western US. Despite this fact, people have used the bean pods produced by lupines as a food source for thousands of years. Popular in the Mediterranean since Roman times, the beans require a series of steps to leach the toxins before they can be eaten (such as soaking in salt solution or water, sometimes for several weeks). https://www.instagram.com/p/B9fpcUxHA21/?igshid=37vknrhp2pq
