The pre order is open for the spring Poisoner’s Collection! The theme for this collection is based on Thessalian Witchcraft. Thessaly was a region in central Greece that was known throughout the ancient world as a hotbed of witchcraft and a poisoner’s paradise. Women like Medea, Circe, Erictho, Chrysame and others astounded the ancient world with their power and knowledge, in many cases being vilified for it. They are the original models for the modern witch archetype, influencing the work of Shakespeare and many others. This collection is a tribute to these miraculous women and each formula is based on a the myth and legend of a Thessalian witch. I have included a number of different baneful herbs, which Thessalian witches were known for using. I have also collected other resins and herbal ingredients associated with this time period and part of the world. Each formula is created based on a specific area of working. Chrysame, for example will be a protective/battle magic formula because she used her magic in combat. Each formula can be used ritually based on its unique correspondences, for spell work and to channel the potency of the witch for whom it was made. Pre orders will start shipping in April! #poisonerscollection #thessalianwitchcraft #witchesofthessaly #pharmakon #pharmakeia #plantspiritgnosis #plantspiritmedicine #plantspiritally #poisonpath #entheogen #magickalointment at #witchesointment #shamanssalve #plantspirirally #veneficium #daturaointment #entheogenicritual #banefulherbs #medicinalnightshades #thepoisonpath #poisonhistory #toxicology #thepoisonaffairs #ethnobotany #poisonpath #thepoisonpath https://www.instagram.com/p/CbGYGpKLkxA/?utm_medium=tumblr

The way a magical ointment is applied plays a big role on how the ointment will work and what it’s effects are going to be. Applying to a larger surface area in places where absorption is maximized will facilitate entheogenic experiences when done in a ritual setting. This is the way to use them for spirit flight and spirit congress. They can also be applied as anointing oils would be (to the wrists, temples, energy centers, or used to draw sacred symbols on the person. This is is typically done for spell crafting, meditation and plant spirit communication. Doing it this way is more vibrational because a smaller amount is applied, but keeping in mind that these are very powerful botanicals. We attribute magical power to benign ritual formulas, having grand expectations for herbs like lemon balm, rue and lavender so why not deadly nightshade and datura? Magical ointments can also be applied to other people to impart their magic and can used as entheogenic massage oils. This is a powerful way to use your own personal energy to direct the plant spirit medicine into someone else. This is a great way to facilitate healing for others and to introduce them to plant spirit medicine. Remember to make sure that the plants you are using are safe to use in the way you are using them, and that we all embark on this journey at our own risk. This has more to do with power resting with each individual than the release of liability. It is up to each individual to decide what enters their body! #plantspiritgnosis #plantspiritmedicine #plantspiritally #poisonpath #entheogen #magickalointment #witchesointment #shamanssalve #plantspirirally #veneficium #daturaointment #entheogenicritual #banefulherbs #medicinalnightshades #thepoisonpath (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWI5EcxrlNE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nightshades Ave large family of plants, many of which are powerful ethnobotanicals. They are valued for their ceremonial, medicinal and magical virtues. Some of the more powerful nightshades are known for their psychoactive effects. These qualities were indicators of the plants spiritual power, and because of this they became associated with visions, witches and the spirit world. Herbal a Shamans were a common medicinal preparation before modern medicine. The psychoactive nature of some of these formulas would result in their association with witches. I was flying appointments, these preparation’s were blended with superstition, propaganda and xenophobia. The psychoactive preparation’s were used by alleged which is to fly to their Sabbath and cavort with the devil. This can be traced back to an earlier shamanic practice, in which a practitioner would partner with plant spirit allies to journey to the other world and receive knowledge. Utilizing the plants potent chemistry and spiritual power, these preparation‘s acted as vehicles for consciousness. Today we can use them in the same way combining Phytochemistry and occult wisdom to enhance our personal practices. Appointments are safe and effective way of exploring plant spirit medicine and incorporating the powerful spirits into our lives. The act of applying one of these preparations can be a ritual in itself or combined with a more complex ceremony. #flyingointment #witchesointment #unguentumsabbati #witchsointment #entheogen #ethnobotanical #daturaointment #plantspiritally #plantteacher #tutelaryspirit #magicalherbalpreparations #poisonpath #veneficium #nightshade #nightshadeointment #solanaceae #solanaceousherbs https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtUU7cL_JX/?utm_medium=tumblr
