Ep. 10: Atropa Belladonna

"THE BELLADONNA IS IN MY BAG..."

In today's episode, The Stinas explore one of witchcraft's deadliest weapons - Atropa Belladonna! This baneful herb has quite the reputation in pop culture and witchy literature, including our Book/Movie of the hour, you guessed it - "Practical Magic".

It makes its presence known in not only the movie, but all 4 books in Alice Hoffman's series. We then get a bit musical, as we ponder Deadly Nightshade in all its "Toxicity" and explore the witchy practice that rock band System of a Down used, to write one of their biggest hits of the early 2000s... and what was the inspiration behind Stevie Nick's 70s hit "Belladonna"?

Come join us as we bring you all of the history, magick and lore surrounding BELLADONNA! Chocolate Truffle anyone?
