Witchy

Practice as practice — the rite, the lineage, the plant in it, and the text where it is attested. Folk practice, herbalism-as-tradition, ritual, and diaspora brujería.

Belongs here: A named tradition, a primary source or a stated teacher, and where the pharmacology is known, the pharmacology. We cite the chemistry and the tradition for the same question.

Goes elsewhere: The receptor argument goes to Herb or Pharmacology; net-era occult fiction goes to Net Folklore.
