Finished labeling the flying ointments from class this week. I’ll be starting to send them out and probably finishing around Halloween!

Vinum Sabbati 🍷 There is much speculation and awe surrounding the Wine of the Sabbat, also referred to as the Wine of the Devil’s Graal or the Winecup of Midnight’s Table, among other names. Drinking the wine is one of the infamous rites of the Witches’ Supper, an unholy feast partook of witches during their sabbatic gatherings. Through countless tales, alleged ingredients include the ashes of infants, menstrual blood, sexual secretions, poisonous plants, corpse juices, and all manner of bodily humors. With these repellent ingredients, the elixir has been named a poison, an aphrodisiac, and an unholy sacrament, a perversion of the Christian communion. Such a brew is said to bring about corporeal transmutation, fantastic visions, or grant the drinker instantaneous magical knowledge. The willing consumption of the Vinum Sabbati is an act of devotion as well as initiation, and some accounts say that the Devil, in thanks, makes the wine taste sweet on the witches’ lips, despite its abhorrent ingredients. With such rich lore, the Vinum Sabbati holds a high place in the rites of the Witches’ Supper and its ghastly details continue to mystify and enthrall to this day. ✍🏽 #poisonappleprintshop #vinumsabbati #witcheswine #sabbaticwitchcraft #sabbatwine #witchessupper #witchessabbat #witchessabbath #witchcraft #chalice #poisonousplants #mandrake #poisonpath #aphrodisiac #poison #potion #elixir #witchesbrew #sabbaticrite #sketchbook #poisonwitch #devil #oldone #negativespace https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VEDAWnRGb/?igshid=kgc9a1q740n0

“Poison is a glyph for magical power” - Daniel Schulke, Veneficium ☠️☠️☠️ I’m revisiting Veneficium (2nd edition) which I haven’t ready in about 7 years or so. It’s amazing how clearly these words still speak to me. Poison, as a magical force, is one of my reasons for walking this path. There is so much occult wisdom hidden in the history of toxicology. The tumultuous relationship between human and toxin is a looking glass showing us an often tarnished reflection. My witchcraft has always been about power. Power for the oppressed, the disenfranchised, the ostracized. Poison is the container for this gnosis, the knowledge that will slowly eat away and the established religions and political organizations that try to control us. We do as we have always done, undermining the work of the Demi-urge from within his creation. #poisonpath #veneficium #danielschulke #sabbaticcraft #sabbaticwitchcraft #banefulherbs #poisonmagic #toxicology #witchesgarden #ethnopharmacology #entheogens #gardenofhekate #veneficus #pharmakeia https://www.instagram.com/p/CZkca42u-2v/?utm_medium=tumblr

Telesmata is a unique work done by Daniel Schulke a few years back(2018)...they only did 100 copies. It’s theme is the ensouled image, an object, talisman or symbolic image that contains a numinous power or spirit. Daniel uses this technique in his oil painting, which I find really fascinating. This is a similar thought behind the jewelry and ritual tools that I make. At the back of the book there is a really interesting section on the the various elements that go into making a painting, including a list of ingredients used in traditional pigment making. @threehandspress #danielaschulke #telesmata #sabbaticmysteries #sabbaticwitchcraft #traditionalwitchcraft #traditionalwitch #witchessabbat #witchessabbath https://www.instagram.com/p/COWeGFZHOnq/?igshid=a4ckjz35ch6d
