Claviceps purpurea (in foto) è un fungo ascomicete ed agente di malattia delle graminacee, in particolare della segale (Secale cereale) sulla quale emerge sotto forma di sclerozi (forme di resistenza dei funghi) allungati, falciformi, simili a corna, costituendo quindi la Segale Cornuta. Questo fungo, se ingerito intero o in panificati contaminati, causa Ergotismo (noto in passato come Fuoco di Sant'Antonio), una malattia da intossicazione alimentare che causa allucinazioni, disturbi del movimento e contrazioni uterine nelle donne.
Le micotossine responsabili dell'Ergotismo sono i composti chimici Ergotamina, Ergometrina ed Acido Lisergico (struttura molecolare in foto), appartenenti al gruppo degli Alcaloidi, nella famiglia degli Indolici aventi come precursore biosintetico l'amminoacido Triptofano. I primi due provocano vasocostrizione e spasmi, soprattutto alla muscolatura uterina e venivano impiegati come analgesico contro le cefalee ma anche come induttori del parto e abortivi. Il terzo invece è responsabile dell'effetto psicotropo ed è inoltre precursore di semi-sintesi della ben più nota droga allucinogena LSD (Dietilammide dell'Acido Lisergico).
Trivia: L'Acido Lisergico prodotto da Claviceps purpurea sembrerebbe inoltre alla base delle visioni bizzarre raffigurate all'interno dei dipinti del pittore fiammingo Hyeronimus Bosch, si specula infatti che per avere ispirazione assumesse del pane contaminato con il fungo procurandosi la caratteristiche allucinazioni, dipingendo ogni particolare in stato delirante (in foto il suo famoso "Trittico del Giardino delle Delizie").
Buona Scienza a tutti!

I think I am now serious about doing the Druidry With Teeth blog. I feel like there's only so much I can do with the Telegram platform and need a more long-form format for relaying thoughts. So watch for that in the coming weeks.

Good Thor's Day and Blessed Beltane.
How good, how right, how poetic it is that the great and ancient Celtic fire festival of Beltane, celebrating the druidic solar god Belanus, should coincide with International Worker's Day, which commemorates the infamous Haymarket Riot of 1887. May the fire of Belanus bless the workers of the world, and may we never forget the riot fire that brought us the rights we have today. May it burn ever present in our hearts until the work is done.

Thanks to all 300 of you for checking in on this little project of mine. And remember, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now!

Good Thor's Day.
The premise of the existence of laziness is almost as ridiculous within the context of human existence as the premise of work. Certainly there are limited resources and certainly there are territorial skirmishes even between non-human creatures. But the extent to which that is the case has been wildly overestimated by those in power. The Earth has provided medicine for nearly every ailment that naturally exists, and we had for many millennia utilized these forms of medicine and passed this information down to our children. Our ancestors before the development of capitalism understood how to work with the things the Earth produced and provide for their family and community. Our greed in attempting to produce plenty when the earth already produced plenty by itself led to the rise of modern agriculture and to climate change as it exists. Modern agricultural practices negate our past teachings; they don't work with them. They destroy the land and soil.
And now in 2025 when we have worked more than we ever have before in human history, and often have acquired less that our ancestors would have had in terms of basic necessities, while only the richest 1% of the population reap nearly half of the wealth, we are called lazy if we get tired and don't want to continue it.
Horseshit.
The concept of "laziness" is a scam by those in power to relay the blame of their own greed onto the working class. No creature outside of humans has an occupation and for good reason.

Good Sun's Day.
The sun has shon on the miserable incompetence of those claiming to be in power while those with money panic over the so-called "stock market", which, alongside money, is about as imaginary as imaginary things get. Most of conservative politics seems to center around panicking over things that don't exist and made-up scenarios.
And yet it is the animists who gain their ilk.
Irony.
They call the animists backwards and superstitious for venerating the sun and hills and trees, which are very real, while panicking over imaginary things and attacking the very fabric of their own biosphere, which is sure to kill them in the long run.
