Lycopodium clavatum, Lycopodium<br /> <br /> spp.), which is found in circumpolar and<br /> <br /> Antarctic regions and is also known as fir club<br /> <br /> moss, heckenysop, devil&#039;s clover, and selago, is an<br /> <br /> ancient Celtic-Germanic magical plant that was<br /> <br /> highly esteemed among the Druids:<br /> <br /> It was gathered with great care, no iron<br /> <br /> instrument was allowed to touch it, even bare<br /> <br /> hands were unworthy of this honor. A special<br /> <br /> covering, or &quot;sagus;&#039; was used with the right<br /> <br /> hand. This covering had to be consecrated and<br /> <br /> secretly received from a holy personage with<br /> <br /> the left hand. It could be collected only by a<br /> <br /> white-clad druid with bare feet that had been<br /> <br /> washed in clear water. Before he collected this<br /> <br /> plant, he had to make an offering of bread and<br /> <br /> wine; after this, the plant was carried away<br /> <br /> from the place in which it grew in a new, clean<br /> <br /> cloth. In the ((Kadir Taliesin;&#039; selago is referred<br /> <br /> to as ((the gift of god,&quot; and in modern Welsh as the ((gras duw;&#039; or the ((grace of god.&quot; This<br /> <br /> plant was viewed primarily as an amulet that<br /> <br /> protected its possessor against all harm.<br /> <br /> (Schopf 1986, 58*)<br /> <br /> The herbage contains 0.1 to 0.9% total alkaloids,<br /> <br /> which have been characterized as ((selagine&quot;<br /> <br /> and comprise lycopodines, arifoline, pseudoselagine<br /> <br /> (= isolycodoline), selagine, and lycodoline.<br /> <br /> The entire plant can induce vomiting, dizziness,<br /> <br /> wooziness, and unconsciousness in humans (Roth<br /> <br /> et al. 1994, 407*).&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;53%&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ethnobotanical]]</div>
