Very interesting, thank you.
It is believed by some that the European witch tradition is an evolution from the more ancient shamanic traditions of the north.
There is a well documented history of using psychedelic fungi and it is suspected that witches were using broom handles to insert a fly agaric (amanita muscaria) concoction. This may sound strange but it is known that fly agaric causes terrible vomiting when ingested.
A common and recurrent effect of this mushroom is the strong hallucination of flight.
There is also a high likelihood that shamanic experiences with fly agaric are responsible for our Santa Claus myths.
When the Sammi herdsman saw their reindeer frolicking wildly across the field they linked it to the colourful mushroom ? they had been eating under the pines. (amanitas have a simbiotic relationship with certain types of pine tree) ?
It’s said that upon drinking the urine of these ‘dosed’ reindeer, the shaman could receive the benefit without suffering the sickness.
Shaman have probably been harvesting these for millenia and may have been acostomed to drying them in the sun on the branches of the very tree under which they were found.
It is also suggested that a shaman visiting a family in the depths of winter may well have entered via the smoke hole in the centre of the home. All families would bring a pine tree indoors for the mid winter which then pointed directly up to the north star.
So, we have, a bearded old man who tells tales of flying with the reindeer, arriving via the ‘chimney’,
Bringing midwinter (survival) gifts. And pretty, bright fungi (baubles) hanging on pine trees that pointed to the north star.

Reviews for "Harnessing the Powers of Iggwilv the Witch Queen: New Class Options for 5e Characters"
1. Alex - 1/5 stars
Iggwilv the witch queen is a complete disappointment. The storyline is unoriginal and predictable, offering no surprises or twists. The characters lack depth and development, making it impossible to connect with them or care about their journey. Additionally, the writing lacks creativity and feels forced, with awkward dialogue and poorly described scenes. Overall, I found this book to be a waste of time and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating and well-written fantasy novel.
2. Jessica - 2/5 stars
Iggwilv the witch queen had potential, but it failed to deliver. The pacing of the story is incredibly slow, with long stretches of mundane and irrelevant details that add nothing to the plot. The world-building is also lacking, leaving the reader with a vague understanding of the setting and its rules. Moreover, the writing style is clunky and filled with repetitive phrases, which becomes tiresome to read after a while. While some may appreciate the simplistic nature of the storytelling, I personally found it dull and lacking substance.
3. Matthew - 1/5 stars
Iggwilv the witch queen is a poorly executed attempt at fantasy literature. The characters are one-dimensional and lack any real motivation or depth. The plot meanders and goes off on tangents that don't contribute to the overall story. The dialogue is stilted and unnatural, making it hard to believe in the interactions between the characters. Additionally, the world-building is minimal and fails to immerse the reader in the setting. Overall, this book was a disappointment and not worth the time or effort it takes to read.
