Yew attempt

[Kali_Yuga13]

And I feel rather safe in the presence of yew.

I follow you. I subscribe to the idea of plant medicine with their accompanying plant spirits. Yew has a storied history in folklore and numerous mentions by Shakespeare in his most famous plays including Macbeth and Romeo & Juliette.

I've always been intrigued by the "poison path". I was ecstatic to find some wild Datura with beautiful white moon flowers and purple accents a few years ago. I harvested all parts and potted one on my back porch. Modern practicalities prevented me from experimenting as you are now.

Maybe you're a reincarnated witchy woman lol.

Are you picking them fresh for each "experiment" or going off a single harvest? I'm totally fascinated by how old they can be. . Would love to see a pic of your yew tree.

"My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
O, prepare it!
My part of death, no one so true
Did share it."

"Twelfth Night" (ii. 4) ~Shakespeare

I dont feel as many effects this time. But the ekgs showed a heart issue over 12 hours now. It passed after like 24 hours

I pick them and keep them for as long as needed.

Theyre saying I couldve died despite feeling mothing and amitting me to psych again...

 

[EternalSkies]

They let me out pretty quickly again. The second doctor evaluated I didn't need to stay in psych

For those interested I had a widened QRS

Sounds a little scary. Is it something that resolved itself? It sounds ie the doctors there are nice. Do you end up being treated by the same ones since you've been there a few times?

Does the yew have any mental effects? When you start to feel weird heart things does it give you anxiety or calm you down?

They were a bit worried about the widened QRS. I also know from yew poisoning reports it is usually followed by cardiac arrest and things like that.
It kept getting worse for several hours then resolved after around 20 hours on its own. Some doctors are good, some not perfect. It is a bit chaotic each time

Some doctors recognize me, but there are always new ones at times

I don't think I have any mental effects from yew
