Best Answer

Mandrake - (Atropa mandragora or Mandragora officinale) is a common enough but prohibitively expensive, magical ingredient.

Mandrake was once thought to be a good "poppet" as it commonly has a human-like shape.

It is poisonous if ingested.

These days it is used to draw protection, fertility and prosperity to a household, whenthe whole root is placed on the mantel-place.

It can be hung on the headboard to protect you during sleep; carried t attract love; worn as a guard against illness; and used in exorcism.

Origin of the Philippines myths and legends?

The myths and legends of the Philippines have roots in pre-colonial beliefs of indigenous groups such as the Tagalogs, Visayans, and Igorots.
