When the moon is waning, early in the morning, at the end of the night of Venus and dawn of the Day of Saturn, short before sunrise, encircle with an iron tool three times the black hellebore's root, dig it up protecting your hands, cut it in two, keep the larger half and put the smaller one back into the soil. #helleborusniger #blackhellebore #christrose #christwurzel #nieswurz #schwarzenieswurz #roots #rootharvest #helleboreroot

Beautiful Hellebore flowers! Kind of late in the season for them. Hellebores are one of my favorite baneful herbs! They are in the buttercup family along with wolfsbane, and their toxins work in a similar fashion. Hellebore is traditionally associated with Caput Algol, the fixed star, making the eye in Medusa’s head. Hellebore can be used to paralyze a situation, to cut one off from resources/energy, vampiric workings. It’s poison cuts if the throat, and is thus connected to the gallows and Lilith in her strangler aspect. In ceremonial magic hellebore is associated with weather magic and summoning noxious spirits. #hellebore #helleborus #blackhellebore #plantlore #poisonlore #poisongarden #witchesgarden #plantdad #poisoner #plantmagick #magickgarden #poisongarden #witchsgarden #darkherbalism #likuth #medusa #caputalgol #witchcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/COL0M_Rn2CZ/?igshid=18hsui6edihtk

Black Hellebore-Helleborus niger-aka Lenten Rose or Christmas Rose. It blooms in mid winter early spring with pale white flowers. The flowers petals are actually more like leaves. There are hundreds of varieties of hellebore from sinking hellebore to double queen, coming in a wide range of deep rich colors. Hellebore is a number of the buttercup family just like wolfsbane, and it is also poisonous. It was once believed that hellebore could cure “mania.” The toxins in hellebore have a burning acrid taste and are related to the chemicals found in road venom. Hellebore has a Saturnian and martial quality, and is associated with the fixed star Algol according to Hermes Trimegistus. #hellebore #blackhellebore #helleborusniger #poisonousplants #poisonpath #toxicology #plantlore #banefulherbs #veneficium #witchsgarden #witchcraft #witchingherbs https://www.instagram.com/p/CNF5kDindTP/?igshid=7brtuo6rkl1m

The saga of tiny paper flower portrait and it's Lyceus. I'm not totally happy with his skin tone, I'm trying out blending with watercolor markers, they are cheap tombow knockoffs because I'm poor, they are ok, more experimenting needed. I'm sad you really cannot tell that the eye on the side where he has his magical scar is actually silver and not gray, his eyes are cool. His flower is #blackhellebore https://www.instagram.com/p/CKS3gjqAxex/?igshid=3g30siehuy5b
