"Witch of the East" A baksu mudang (박수무당) who wields a saingeom (사인검 / Four Tigers Sword) whose familiar is a Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris tigris)
Herbalist Suzanne-Marguerite Henriod originated the recipe *as we know it* in the late 18th c, in Switzerland. Egyptian hieroglyphs, however, depict an alcoholic extract of wormwood as as an antimalarial, so I credit ancient Egyptians for its earliest recorded origins (3/18)
Here is my Witch of the East for my #WitchWorld series--the Witch of the East's animal familiar is a Siberian tiger, and is a Korean baksu mudang (박수무당) who wields a saingeom (사인검) / Four Tigers Sword (mini-thread!) 1/5
I'll be hosting a virtual beginner's foraging class (featuring fun facts, history, tips, and recipes) with @lightgreyartlab this coming Sunday! RTs are appreciated, and if you miss it live, it will be recorded and available for the cost of admission after!

@usuallyawake IT'S A GREAT NAME~ I love that it ties back to architecture! Ppl may already know this but tldr a "keystone species" is a species that, if removed, causes unbalance in an ecosystem (e.g. otters - regulate urchin pop.) and a keystone is an essential stone that supports archways!
