WITCHES BANE – TOXIC WITCHCRAFT OILS
ALL OILS IN THIS SECTION ARE NON-TOXIC – STILL – DO NOT INGEST.
This is a cautious journey into the darker side of Nature and her fiercer aspect as manifested in the so called ‘baneful’ herbs. While there are as many ethical codes as there are types of Witches, remember that every herb has its own blessings and curses. For instance, you might regularly sprinkle nutmeg on your pies yet if you were to consume a whole nutmeg pod, you most certainly would die a painful death!
You must decide for yourself if your usage is educated, just, and worth the risk.
Baneful herbs tend to be toxic, making them stronger and faster acting both physically and spiritually. Used in magick and medicine for centuries, these botanical curiosities can lead to hallucination, coma, or painful death if not applied properly. Then again, so can the misuse of modern pharmaceutical medicines.
For those of us who are drawn to traditional hedge witchery, herb craft, and the Green Path, to not seek these herbs and their wisdom leaves a void in our practice… maybe in our very energy, our ability to heal, and the possibility to communicate with the spiritual Green.
