Ep. 54: Thorn Apple | Magick & Lore

"DATURA STRAMONIUM!"The Stinas are back at it again with another Magick & Lore episode! In this "killer" episode, we'll talk all about this poisonous and invasive weed that has James Hawkins wanted for murder in the book. This baneful herb is not prevalent in the film, however the Stinas speculate on whether or not Gillian may have been using it in the scene which is the center of their "controversial" astral travel theory! We learn about the origins of the herb's more common name "Jimsonweed" and its ties to a rather deplorable incident involving our militia and a bit of boiled salad. This episode may have you double thinking where you buy your produce!
