Description Ahhh...the mandrake! In legend, the mandrake's roots appeared like a small human. So feared was this plant that it was also believed that it screamed once you pulled it from the earth...killing all who heard it's cry.

To learn more about the mandrake: [link] )

(Just don't drink it as a tea. Your lowly artist here tried it and...well, I won't do that again!)

I wonder what type of potions mandrakes are used for?

What's wrong with it as a tea? I didn't even know you could "eat" it! What's it used for anyway...? Maybe, I should click the link. Hehe
Cool picture.

Mandrake is known to be poisonous. Actually, ever part of the plant's poisonous! lol
I've made a tea from it in a VERY small amount which was pretty stupid on my part since I didn't measure it or do anything that anyone with sense would do!

Thanks!

Hahaha. Well, I don't think I will be making tea from it.

I'm sorry I should have said something more and I apologize. Lovely piece of work. Beautifully done in composition.

I bought one of those once when I was a vegetarian long time ago for a short period of time. Can't even remember if I used it for anything.

It gave me a strange, dream-like feeling. I've never felt anything like it...but I could have offed myself, which is the bad part!

Thank you!

Yeah....stick to stuff that will make you feel good but won't take you close to Death's doorway. There are plenty of things out there.

Heh, yeah. I used to live in Mexican Town. That's where I was raised. Never saw a faerie...

I though about it. I probably will just to have something to do since it doesn't look like I'm fit for working. :\
