Introduction
The official name of Sabadilla is Schoenocaulon officinale.
The most peculiar is the strange combination of being adult and childish. They look very competent, able to do what is necessary with good results. But on the other hand they give away their power to a leader, especially a spiritual one. They want to be seen as good, great and pure and fear to be seen as unreliable and disgusting. They can go on much too long with some spiritual pursuit, much longer than is healthy. They fear to be bad and guilty when they quit and even when they quit they keep on brooding about the past as if they cannot leave things in their mind. It is the Stage 13 quality of half leaving.
