Smoke Bush, The Dragon Slayer

There’s an old Albanian story about a dragon that rose from the Blue-Eyed Spring and devoured the land, until it was burned out, in a track that flames with this amazing sumac, smokebush, even today. This story is nearly as old as the story of the Trojan War. Unlike the Trojan War, the smokebush, Valanidh, is still watching you.P2320788
