Welcome to Shoots, Shrubs, and Shakespeare! This week, we’re checking out Shakespeare’s take on nettles (and strawberries!) as mentioned in Henry V. Nettle is an herb that is urticating (makes the skin itchy), nutritious and therefore ripe for metaphor.

In Celtic folklore thick stands of nettles indicate that there are fairy dwellings close by. The sting of the nettle protects against fairy enchantment, black magic, and other sorcery.

Things you see in art school:
•Old butt paintings. With nettles
•Old dickpics from when cameras were new and finally became cheap (the artist tried to express himself. Show who he is and what he can do with a camera... on an extreme level)
•Just. Bdsm that was considered art

Naviir Nettles, Quinn's biological father and frequent Problem™ in the Shroud. He's an ex-sellsword turned nuisance smuggler and uses his charisma to get away with a lot. He's done enough "good" that the Adders often look the other way, but he still causes problems on purpose.

They wear to protect paws from stinging & trudge & crackle through new snow, stomped beneath boots, but still colored by the fairy lights. & always the thought of sweet pie in their minds.

sheepstealer was eventually tamed by nettles—a plain, baseborn, disreputable girl who fed the dragon mutton day by day until it became used to her. the dragon and its rider played their part in the war.

✨🍃✨Magic of Nettles...
Carry a sprig to protect against lightning, and to give courage.
Cures a fever if you grasp and pull up by the roots, whilst saying the name of the person inflicted.
The most powerful plants grow in places that are always in the shade.

Happy birthday In one of his most beloved tales, The Wild Swans, the heroine Elisa must pick stinging nettles and weave shirts for her enchanted brothers from them. Surprisingly, nettle was historically a textile base.

April. Young nettles growing plentiful:
When rubbing a sting with a dock leaf, use this spoken charm:
"Out nettle, in dock.
Dock shall have a new smock.”
(Traditional)

To rebuild our wounded land, and to get back on track
I have a plan

Just a small cost of common sense, and a tiny extra fee
