Magickal Uses:

Sacred to Hekate and evidencing a very Saturn-like preoccupation with borders, like other baneful herbs, hemlock likes to grow along roads, ditches, trails, or the edges of fields.  This baneful herb is used for magickal work involving astral travel and for purifying ritual swords and knives. The flowers are said to be used in spells to cause impotence in men, and the plant is good for ritually paralyzing a situation.  In Europe, it is considered one of the quintessential witching plants!

Hemlock Toxicity. 

As its name indicates, this plant is quite poisonous – people have died from eating as few as 8 leaves. Symptoms of hemlock poisoning include nervousness, trembling, incoordination, dilated pupils, weak heartbeat, cold extremities, coma, and death caused by respiratory failure.

Hemlock should be used carefully. It offers a very powerful type of Magick, one which is capable of moving the energy out beyond the abyss.

Because of its toxicity, hemlock is not often carried in your every day herbal shop. If you do not want to use hemlock because you cannot find any or simply because it’s a bit hazardous to work with, you can substitute tobacco.
