I did a Facebook live today for a group called The Coven of Roses, discussing the poison path and usual related topics and was asked to talk about flying ointments. I made a remark about how the witches' flying ointment is such an important occult symbol that it becomes much like other more permanent tools such as the athame and chalice with their associated meanings and mythology depending on the tradition. Flying ointments in a way serve as a point of interface between the practitioner and those spirits and current that is associated with archetypal witchcraft, that being the night flying wielder of occult forces. The hag, the nightmare, lilitu, lamiae and other nocturnal spirits are aspects of this ancient and taboo force, and flying ointments are a vehicle for trafficking with those forces. - - #witchcrafttools #witchsaltar #flyingointment #witchesointment #witchesflyingointment #thepoisonpathherbal #witchessabbath #veneficium #unguentumsabbati #folkwitchcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/CmAM5_JrucR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
