truth is stranger than fiction. all the fantasies are based on reality. highlights the importance of knowledge in a dumb world of ours. 😇

Historically (ie: BEFORE the invention of a certain boy wizard) Mandrake could be used for many purposes, from ensuring fertility to causing harm, entirely dependent on which side of the "witch" spectrum the practitioner fell. One of the most popular beliefs was that it grew in the ground under which a murderer had been executed by hanging.

The Mandrake plant was first introduced to Great Britain by Lord Sinclaire Hummersby in 1833 from his first visit to China.

Thank you Harry Potter. Makes a nice change for me not to be saying "Thank you The Simpsons" as I seem to get a lot of my knowledge from that show. Hence why I don't really know a lot 😜

Player #14501527, probably true -- when it comes to reproducing mandrake plants.

Never saw or read Harry Potter, just somehow knew without reading the other choices. I suppose one of my herb books.

I choose it right because of the Italian tv series Princess Fantagiro that I used to watch on 90's 😁

Have read the Harry Potter series.

Craig W Fels, so wait a minute you say Harry Potter nonsense and then quote a book (the Bible) a compilation of 300 year old stories chosen by a committee of Sun worshiping Romans to pacify the Christians who at the time were causing lots of trouble. Then you pick a story that seems more parable than factual to illustrate that mandrake may have been used🤔😂

djfio1961
