d&d au but bard!scar is actually terrible at instruments and only uses them incorrectly. jumpcut to him taking out his flute on a picnic with warlock!grian and going "watch this!" then violently hurls it like a throwing star into a nearby tree

Whenever I'm reading a correspondance list of a certain plant and it states the "gender" of the plant I close the tab because what

Yancy (me!) and Red/Fennec ( @lorebreaker ) from our new dnd campaign! our first session is tomorrow, these two have been traveling together for a bit while decidedly not acknowledging that that makes them kind-of almost friends

I promised you forever and you fell for the lies; it's weird, why do you like being traumatized?

So I looked at a few different tumblr posts and websites about stinging Nettles' uses in Witchcraft and I haven't seen much mentioned about the historical context of the plant.

Yes, in medieval times it was used for various medicinal purposes, but there is one context in Irish history I haven't seen spoken of in Witchcraft circles:

It's uses during the great famine.

Stinging Nettles are really common in Ireland, and during the great famine they were eaten when there was no, and I mean no, food available by poor Irish people. There are a few other foods know as famine foods that grow wild in ireland that were eaten to prevent starvation for the lucky ones who could find them and have enough to survive. Nettle soup is literally just stinging Nettles and water, so it was very much a meal when you had nothing else. It is a dark part of history, no doubt, but to me the plant is heavily assosiated with the famine and the people that lived and died through it. You might wonder why, then, would a celtic practitioner want to work with it? Because the fact that that plant helped to sustain those people through such hard times, to keep you alive when nothing else was growing, is a great strength of the plant. Because of this history it has great heritage of survival through hard times, of strength that runs throughout Irish culture.

One of my favourite Irish rebel songs is Down by the Glenside (the bold fenian men), written by Peadar Kearney, who was a member of the Irish republican brotherhood and co-founded the Irish volunteers in 1913. The song is about the fenian rising of 1867, so it took place just over 10 years after the great famine/the great hunger (1845-52). But the reason I mention it is because it references Nettles explicitly in the lyrics

"Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman

A-plucking young Nettles, she ne'er saw I was coming"

The song is really worth a listen.

Anyway, I say all this to say that the history of this plant goes way beyond medicinal uses. This is just what I've picked up knowing the little that I do about Irish history. It was used by poor people to supplement a proper diet for hundreds if not thousands of years. Not just protection, but survival and renewal, given how the plant can spread over any fertile ground, producing strong roots year after year even in harsh winters. Just like our celtic peoples have, though our languages have been beaten out of many, our people have been killed and our traditions lost to us, we still re-learn those languages, those traditions, and survive.
