Aside from making people horny which was thought sinful, sometimes when they pulled a wild root out of the ground it made a sound like a scream! That spooked out the ancients who thought some of the roots had evil spirits trapped in them. They were very superstitious and thought that if anyone heard such a scream, they would die shortly after. Medieval books on herbs give all kinds of instructions for digging up the roots so they don't scream. Most likely those that died after hearing a scream did so because they were killed by taking too much of the roots they gathered!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-82410017576622326242021-02-23T18:41:56.554+00:002021-02-23T18:41:56.554+00:00Contrary to what anon 04:16 thinks, evil root IS a...Contrary to what anon 04:16 thinks, evil root IS a real plant. It's also known as mandragora officianarum or mandrake root. Here's a photo of a crop being grown in pots:<br /><br />https://i.redd.it/knyr5m4alz711.jpg<br /><br />People take European mandrake root for treating stomach ulcers, colic, constipation, asthma, hay fever, convulsions, arthritis-like pain (rheumatism), and whooping cough. It is also used to trigger vomiting, cause sleepiness (sedation), reduce pain, and increase interest in sexual activity.<br /><br />Remember in the Old Testament how Abraham at age 100 managed to impregnate his wife Sarah at age 90 with Isaac? How was that done? Miracle from God? No. It was really mandrake root!<br /><br />But anyone who starts using or brewing this root better know what he's doing because it is rated as a DANGEROUS botanical if not used correctly. The alkaloids make the plant, in particular the root and leaves, poisonous, via anticholinergic, hallucinogenic, and hypnotic effects. Anticholinergic properties can lead to asphyxiation. Accidental poisoning is not uncommon. Ingesting mandrake root is likely to have other adverse effects such as vomiting and diarrhea. <br /><br />I'd advise anyone considering using this herb to NOT do it. There are probably other safer treatments for whatever health problem you have that you think evil root might treat.<br /><br />jason<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-42919529796692739322021-02-23T18:00:26.648+00:002021-02-23T18:00:26.648+00:00Puts the lead back in your pencil!

He wasn't quoting the Bible like everyone thinks. He was just saying that human greed was a powerful force just like evil root is a powerful herb. Bessler was probably told about evil root by that alchemist he rescued. Now I'm starting to think that's how Bessler's and Karl's wives popped out all of those kids they had...they were probably both using evil root regularly!

But you got to use only goat manure. I tried other manures but goat works best. Just make sure you wash them off good before you start to brewing them. I made the mistake of not doing that enough when I first started to brew my roots. Also keep their pots wet and out of the hot Sun.

I'd ignore him if I was you.<br /><br />It's best to grow your own roots and brew the ale from them youself. It ain't that hard to do. Also it's cheaper than the online stuff and that way and you can make a more potent ale from it. We just harvested a crop of dozens of the roots a few days ago. Here's a photo of my dear wife Tizzy pulling one of the full growed roots out of its pot. This here one weighs a good ten pounds or so. It'd set you back about $200 to buy the same amount of root online and then no telling how good it'd be. I always say just do it yourself and save. God bless.<br /><br />https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a0/b0/40/a0b04049dd4cb47476fd01c4971113d6.jpgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-70690304462058576592021-02-23T04:16:11.588+00:002021-02-23T04:16:11.588+00:00Anon03:19

One company had a great idea, at least their Republican capitalist owners thought it was a great idea. To recover ALL of the money they lost while most of their power plants we're not working, they simply passed all of that cost onto their small percentage of customers who had still been getting electricity.<br /><br />One woman who got her electricity from them usually paid about $86 per month. She recently got the latest bill from them...it was for $6,000 dollars even though she used no more electricity than usual during the cold spell! No, her bill was NOT a mistake. She had arranged for the electrical power supplier to automatically take the amount of her monthly bill right out of her bank checking account. They tried to do that, but only managed to grab $2,000 out of it before the balance dropped below the minimum $200 she had to keep in the account to keep it open. At that point the bank stopped payment. But, her $2,000 is now gone. Many others got the same treatment from this Republican capitalist owned power company.<br /><br />Needless to say, all hell is breaking loose over this one. Amazing what capitalist greed can do to people! The message from this is clear. NEVER give your financial information to any utility company along with permission for them to drain your bank checking account for whatever amount they claim you owe them because once they grab it, you most likely won't be seeing it again. Just write them a check every month and mail it in. That way you can stop payment immediately if you see them trying to pull something on you.<br /><br /><br />Anonymous and PROUD of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-33440677119835822092021-02-22T22:38:49.992+00:002021-02-22T22:38:49.992+00:00I think the fact that Bessler went to such extreme...I think the fact that Bessler went to such extremes to change his name (multiple times?) and to use symbology in his illustrations and writings suggests he was into some type of *ology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-44104957019861170872021-02-22T21:53:12.451+00:002021-02-22T21:53:12.451+00:00A lot of people don't know that years ago the ...A lot of people don't know that years ago the Chinese were trying to flood the US with Evil Root powder in capsules to which they had added various drugs.

However, I still have no faith in SK's 4/8 numerology and think it's only due to a lot of selection bias on his part. <br /><br />What happened to the Titanic is certainly a tragedy, but it shows what can happen when businessmen start compromising safety to increase their profits...people die! If the Titanic's captain hadn't been trying to break the world record for the shortest transatlantic crossing while ignoring iceberg warnings and the crewmen up in the ship's forward crow's nest had been supplied with binoculars, then they could have easily avoided that iceberg. <br /><br />All the passengers on that doomed ship had been told it had a double hull and was therefore "unsinkable". What they weren't told was that only the almost flat bottom of the hull was doubled. The sides of the hull weren't doubled and that's where the iceberg hit and made a large gaping hole. Added to that was the "watertight" compartments that weren't actually watertight and let the whole hull finally flood out and sink the ship. If they had told the passengers all of those little details, probably no one would have taken a chance on that ship's maiden voyage unless they dropped the ticket price to a fraction of what it was. That, of course, was something that would be unthinkable to the profit hungry businessmen who owned that ship! Profits first, safety last was apparently their motto!<br /><br />jasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-50072846979564972492021-02-22T20:59:10.634+00:002021-02-22T20:59:10.634+00:00When Bessler spoke of Greed (Greed is an evil root...When Bessler spoke of Greed (Greed is an evil root), he could have been referring to something entirely different.
