The legend says that all mandrake roots are transformed into real little men, like little goblins, who are dedicated to favor the owner of the plant. The legend does not ensure that all mandrake roots have a human form. They have some, yes. And that these are the true witch plants. The lucky holder of a mandrake root in the shape of a little man holds that this plant, at the time of pulling it screams. And that the scream kills whoever tries to rip it off. And that the procedure to start it and save the life is the following one. Dig deep around the root to expose it. As long as you do not try to pull it off, there is no danger. A rope is attached to the root and the other end is attached to a dog’s neck. The dog is called from a distance. The dog wants to go, pulls the plant and pulls it, screams, and the dog dies. There is no choice but to sacrifice the dog. But it is seen that, given the wizard power of the mandrake, it is worth sacrificing a dog. (Noel Clarasó)
