Artist's Description
Irish Folklore
Mandrake. (Solanaceae)
A furrow must be dug around the root until its lower part is exposed, then a dog is tied to it, after which the person tying the dog must get away. The dog then endeavours to follow him, and so easily pulls up the root, but dies suddenly instead of his master. After this the root can be handled without fear.

Beautiful image and interesting description. I do however feel very sorry for the dog but I guess "its a dog's life" after all. I hope the medicinal use of the Mandrake makes it worth it. Perhaps if you tied a couple mandrake roots to one dog it would save dogs.
Conor Murphy replied:
Thank you Michael for these kind words and also for the feature on your great group.

This is very creative and unique Conor. It combines the yin (spiritual side and in your tale the breaking free), and yang (rooted to the earth) beautifully.
Ely Arsha
Such a lovely painting with a wonderful tale to go along with it.
