Poison, bane, toxin. These are all warning labels that tell us to stay away. But for those brave, or reckless enough to take a closer look, there is more to be discovered. What is it about poison that fascinates and seduces some, while terrifying and repelling others? These potent substances have been used for medicine, murder and mind-altering effects for millennia. Poison is a universal concept and humans have had many beliefs regarding how it worked and how to protect against it. Poison, as a metaphor has been used to describe things like love and knowledge, or toxic situations and people. There is much more to the nature of poison than it being deadly and to avoid it. It is part of our most ancient history and looking into the past about beliefs regarding poison, contagion and death give us clues to the unseen nature of this force. #thepoisonpathherbal #thepoisonpath #poisonpath #veneficium #pharmakeia #occultherbalism #toxicology #ethnobotany #ethnopharmacology #botanicaltoxins #poisonmagic #flyingointments #greenwitchcraft #nightshades #solanaceae #entheogens #ethnobotanicals #witchcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/Co95meLrWfn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ars APHRODISIA - The Poison Path Herbal ☠️ baneful herbs and Venusian magic. Patriarchal society has been trying to control how we have sex and how we experience the divine since antiquity. They recognize the power here. Personal gnosis and personal creative power negates the need for a priest caste. The answers are within us, and they have been this entire time. The lies of society have led us to doubt our inner knowing, and seek reaffirmation from societal structures. Witchcraft seeks to destroy these structures. It is by its very nature, antithetical to this paradigm that belongs to the patriarchal religions of Abraham. Let them have their fallen god. Let them cling to the safety of their city walls when Nature comes to reclaim this world. That is a second coming that we can count on! - #thepoisonpathherbal #arsaphrodisia #veneficmagic #veneficium #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #poisonwitch #lovewitch #sexmagic #freya #lupercalia https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQUVgUOTUJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What is The Poison Path? What role does “poison” play in occult metaphysics as a force nature? The Poison Path is one manifestation of something much deeper. An ancient ophidian wisdom that has transmitted its venomous gnosis across human consciousness. How does the poison path manifest in different parts of the world and different times in history and what does that mean for those of us who wish to pursue poison as an occult practice. The Poison Path is much more than witchcraft with poisonous plants and in this presentation author Coby Michael will be ripping the chains off the garden gates to share why The Poison Path is such an important component of modern magical practice and our current collective evolution.

Found The Poison Path Herbal @inner_traditions ☠️ next to Kate Freuler’s @kate_freuler_author book OF BLOOD AND BONES @llewellynbooks 🦴 at Barnes and Noble in St. Pete . Appropriately paired, both dealing with transgressive themes and deeply held taboos. Like poisonous plants, bones and blood illicit powerful responses in people in general, especially when it comes to magical practice, but there is a reason those things conjure such primal feelings and therein lies their power. @kate_freuler_author writes an informative and honest guide to working with these elements in magical practice, and you can read my review here https://www.patheos.com/blogs/poisonersapothecary/2021/01/08/exploring-the-shadow/ - #shadowwork #darkherbalism #lefthandpath #banefulherbs #veneficium #witchcraft #folkwitchcraft #modernwitchcraft #ofbloodandbones #thepoisonpathherbal #occult #occultbooks #daemonaltry #witchyauthors (at Barnes & Noble - St. Petersburg, FL) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnlD7JKLiDt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tea anyone? ☠️☠️☠️ The Poison Path Herbal describes the why and how of this thing we call the Poison Path. Both of those words contain a lot of meaning and baggage and make it sound like a tradition in and of itself, it’s not. There is enough plant lore and personal gnosis that you could fill lifetimes just working with plants like these, but they can also be added to your existing practice independently. You may only be called to work with a few of these plants, or if you are like me, you will become obsessed with all of them. Obsessed with the idea of poison in general. Toxicology is a fascinating topic and when we look at the history of poison we find that it has a very close and ancient connection to magical practice. The Posion Path explores many different types of plants and ways of working with them, and not all of them are deadly and dangerous. After walking a few steps on this path you quickly learn that what we call a thing is often very different than what it actually is. #thepoisonpathherbal #poisonherbal #poisonformulary #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #veneficium #pharmakeia #banefulherbs #balefulherbsb#poisonmagic #cobymichael #nightshades #ethnobotanicals #entheogens #ethnobotany #toxicology #witchcraft #occultherbalism https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjvjFtrOtx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Getting inspired for next month’s presentation on datura! “Datura is a plant of the nocturnal garden, along with other plants associated with the moon, sleep, and the psychic realm. It can be used to honor the primeval goddess Nyx, who is an embodiment of the night, and her children, Hypnos, Morpheus, and Thanatos, the gods of sleep, dreams, and death. Datura rules the night and is associated with nocturnal creatures, such as the moth, owl, and wolf. Datura blossoms point upward toward the night sky, like trumpets from the underworld, the nocturnal flowers opening at dusk. The blossoms are sometimes called moonflowers and resemble the night-blooming moon vine Ipomoea alba, a tropical morning glory. In the evening hours, datura sends out from its flowers a sweet and intoxicating aroma, which is said to be capable of inducing trance. Datura's relative Brugmansia is called angel's trumpet because its flowers point downward from the heavens. As part of the nocturnal realm, thorn apple is dreaming plant, used to gain the power of divination and soul flight. The flowers can be placed around the bed of a person who is trying No dream prophetically. As a psychic herb of lunar nature, it awakens tie cown and third eye, enhancing psychic ability and clarity and giv. in insight into the meaning of dreams. It can also be used to ward off nightmares and for protection during sleep.” The Poison Path Herbal.

Veneficium, from Latin venenum for poison was synonymous with maleficia or witchcraft. The transmission of the first venom took place in the Garden of Eden, a physical and spiritual corruption. The intoxicating fire from the heavens given to us through the wisdom of the Serpent. We are the venomous bybroduct of the world’s creation, infecting and transforming all we touch. I’ll be doing my Poison Magic presentation for Luna Mujer International Coven this Thursday. Hosted by @brujapower Poison magic comes from an interest in pre-modern ideas about toxins both physical and spiritual, folklore and superstition surrounding contagion and protection against poison and the intimate relationship between the poisoner and witch archetype. Both of these individuals wield power, break taboo and go against the norms. Poison whether physical or spiritual can be wielded to gain personal power and gnosis, whether through transformation and plant spirit relationships or more nefarious means. There are many poisoner figures throughout history, many of them women. The legendary, feminist folk heroes who were also believed to deal in the occult. Weaving together poison history and lore, Coby Michael author of The Poison Path Herbal creates a tapestry of occult philosophy and magical potential. Poison Magic can be applied to everyday life to transmute toxic energies, protect your boundaries and reclaim your power. - #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #thepoisonpathherbal #poisonmagic #veneficium #maleficium #darkherbalism #occultherbalist #cobymichael #banefulherbs #occulttoxicology (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhMreVr7zC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
