SUMMARY:TALK: "The Witch and her broom" for Beeston U3A
DESCRIPTION:A journey into the magical and medicinal world of wild plants and fungi\n\nExplore the dual nature of plants and mushrooms rooted in folklore and Druid traditions. We’ll look at species with both healing and mind-altering properties—some poisonous in part\, yet edible in others. Expect mentions of psychedelic fungi used by the Incas\, plants linked to witches’ spells\, and curious names like witch’s butter\, witch’s broom\, and witch’s hair. Open your mind—we’re stepping into a world of traditional beliefs\, spell-craft\, and the blurred lines between remedy and poison.

SUMMARY:TALK: "The Witch and her broom" (Syston U3A members only)
DESCRIPTION:I \nA journey into the magical and medicinal world of wild plants and fungi \nExplore the dual nature of plants and mushrooms rooted in folklore and Druid traditions. We’ll look at species with both healing and mind-altering properties—some poisonous in part\, yet edible in others. Expect mentions of psychedelic fungi used by the Incas\, plants linked to witches’ spells\, and curious names like witch’s butter\, witch’s broom\, and witch’s hair. Open your mind—we’re stepping into a world of traditional beliefs\, spell-craft\, and the blurred lines between remedy and poison.
