Hand carved poison box, poplar, 3.5βx 11β x 5.5β, bearing countenances of Papaver Somniferum (opium poppy) and Hyoscyamus niger (Black henbane), both of whom have moved with humanity for millennia as allies and an interface to worlds above and below our own. I would consider these two plants to be the divine primordial twins of magico-medicinal flora. Henbane is historically known for its command over precipitation, weather and electrical storms, including those of the central nervous system inviting ecstatic terror, euphoria and stupification. Opium poppy has over thousands of years groomed us to meet her every need and in return, a staggering 3,700 tons of raw opium is produced and consumed annually. Both have earned their places in the holiest of sacred rites, at celebratory functions and naturally, the places of internment and cremation. Available. $215. #borealisironworks #handcarvedbox #henbane #poppy #pathofpoison #witchcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/CPRT1oWHm1o/?utm_medium=tumblr
