Bioregional plants are generally also native plants. For the purposes of Witchcraft, I consider bioregional plants anything that grows naturally where I live, including non-native and 'invasive' species. I do not advocate cultivating any plant that is harmful to your local ecosystem, but I do strongly believe in using what's available. You can find and use up wild sources of plants that you wouldn't necessarily try to grow in your own garden. This month's bioregional herb is exactly the kind of non-native plant I'm talking about.
Tribulus terrestris
aka Fucking Goatheads
Goatheads are small thorn-clusters that get into bike tires, shoe soles and even pet paws. If they get tracked into your home on the bottom of your shoes you're at risk of stepping on them in your bare feet and you WILL die. I mean, not literally. They just hurt like a motherfucker and you will be traumatized enough to never walk confidently barefoot in your own home or yard ever again and that's basically a kind of small death. So.
