Hexes and Curses:

Power Enhancing Concoctions:

Divination or Dark Knowledge Potions:

- Ingredients: Can include items associated with the underworld or occult knowledge, such as nightshade or wormwood.
Personal Growth:

Transformation of Practice:

Exploring white or green magic, which emphasizes healing, growth, and positive change, can be a more constructive alternative.
Crafting a Black Magic Potion

- Create a Ritual: Develop a detailed plan for the ritual or ceremony in which the potion will be used. This includes the timing, invocation of deities or spirits, and any symbols or tools required.
Execution:
- Preparation: Prepare your potion with care and focus. Follow the ritual steps precisely to ensure the potion is imbued with your intention.
- Safety Measures: Handle all ingredients with respect and take appropriate safety precautions. Avoid using harmful substances or practices that could cause unintended damage.
Flying ointment
When using the ointment, it is to couple it with another trance technique like dancing, drumming, or chanting. And open to the experience.
Warning:
- a fatal dose of fly agaric has been calculated as 15 mushroom caps… if you decide to make it, please do your own research and test it in the company of a person who knows first aid and who will not be trying the ointment.
Research into the CURRENT recipe:
I chose the fly agaric from this list because I believe it will give the magical oomph required without being lethal. I coupled it with the balm of gilead flowers because of their healing powers, and gave the mixture a wide assortment of plants that contain thujone–mugwort, sage, yarrow, juniper, arbor vitae, and wormwood. Thujone is a psychoactive compound, but it is unlikely to be lethal in the doses you would get from the ointment. Magically, mugwort is used to improve psychic powers and divination, sage to promote wisdom, yarrow and juniper to stave off negativity and to promote psychic powers and courage, arborvitae (a cedar) to protect and provide optimism, and wormwood to promote psychic powers. I added the hyssop because of the pinocampones that affect the nervous system, but–more importantly–because its magical properties inclued psychic protection and aura cleansing, which I felt was important to this ointment. The rosemary is added not only for its protection and healing powers, but also to help the user keep the memory of his flight. The woodruff I added as a reminder that this ointment is to be used primarily to link one to the gods.
To make this ointment:
- Put fly agaric mushroom caps, dried balm of gilead flowers, dried mugwort, dried sage, dried hyssop, dried yarrow, juniper berries, arborvitae bark, and wormwood together with a quantity of dried rosemary and dried woodruff into an old food processor and grind them all into a fine powder.
- Put that powder into a large glass jar and cover it with apricot kernel oil.
- Let the herb powder infuse in the oil for 14 days
- Finish off the infusion with a heat treatment (set the jars in a crockpot filled with water, turn the setting to ‘warm’ and let it go for a day or two.)
- Strain it a couple of times through some muslin, measure out the oil, and add 1-2 ounces of beeswax for every cup of oil. Heat the beeswax and the oil until the wax melted, then I’d pour the ointment in jars and let it set in a cool place for the remaining days of the moon cycle, moving it to a place at night where it can receive the moonlight.
In summary, black magic potions and concoctions are associated with malevolent intentions and can involve manipulation, harm, or personal gain at the expense of others. Practitioners should approach such practices with a clear understanding of the ethical implications, potential consequences, and safety measures. Many find that focusing on positive and constructive forms of magic leads to more fulfilling and ethical outcomes.
