Henbane Magical Plants The poisonous Henbane plant is deadly to both human beings as well as animals. It was in use in ancient Greece during the time of Pliny. It is associated with gods in Greek mythology. Ancient Greek people called Henbane by a different name – Apollinaris. This plant was considered holy and was associated with God Apollo. As per the views of modern day scholars, this plant was used by the oracle priestess named Pythia who gave her prophecies in a drunken state. Natives belonging to ancient Germanic tribes used this plant in carrying out their rituals. Even the Celts as well as Romans were believed to use Henbane. But, in all the accounts, whether ancient or Medieval, Henbane was always described in a negative way. To most people, the plant smelled of death, and was considered quite appalling. #info #EverythingsInfo
