Pop goes the teasel

It may not look like much but the above is a teasel bought off the internet. You see them growing in the wild and they have such a great flower/seed head. Give it another year and we should have something interesting to see. What we can’t believe is that it don’t feature in Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs” by Scott Cunningham (Llewellyn Worldwide). That can’t be right, but we have found out that the bloke who invented Velcro used the said plant as influence. The things you learn eh.

And talking of teasels here’s a tune by Mikah Sykes out of Portland, Oregon with Cutleaf Teasel (or Common Teasel) don’t know what genre this is, but it sure is interesting.

There’s Mullein in my garden, what am I gonna do?

We looked up Mullein in our “well interesting” or “well out there, man” (whatever your point of view about this book is) Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs” by Scott Cunningham (Llewellyn Worldwide). It’s a bonkers book and one that never fails to make us smile.
