“Plants That Kill” by Elizabeth A. Dauncey and Sonny Larsson, 2018 Not a witchy book or a gardening book, but a very good botanical reference book covering the history and folklore of poisonous plants. It’s a big beautiful coffee table style book with full-colour photos and art. #banefolk #bookrecommendation #bookworms #poisonousplants #toxicplants #banefulplants #banefulherbs #toxicbotanicals #recommendedreading #plantfolklore #ethnobotany #botany #toxicology
May 7, 2024 Emergency surgery for Mandragora officinarum! 🚨🚨🚨 As summer is fast approaching and temps are rising up, my mandrakes are going back to sleep, one by one. We have also been having a pretty wet spring, so root rot is certainly an issue on my mind. I usually unpot dormant mandrakes to check on their health and growth progress. Checking their crowns for signs of rot is my first step to determine which root needs to get a thorough check immediately. As I was going through my newly dormant mandrakes, I noticed one of the officinarum roots had some soft tissue and rotting skin, which was a clear signal for me to unpot it for a thorough check. Lo and behold, there were some minor roots at the crown. But more alarming was one of the smaller roots was actually rotting and broke off from the main body as I unpotted it (Photo 2). There were also sections that felt a bit soft when squeezed (sign of beginning of root rot). I have also noticed some white wort-looking nubs on those soft sections. I ended up having to cut off the rotting parts. I then covered the root in cinnamon powder. Because of its anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties, I have had good success in saving my mandrakes from minor rot using cinnamon powder. I'm going to let the root air out a day or two before deciding whether to replant it or to dry and preserve it. This root is only a little over 2 years old, and it's been growing quite nicely, so I don't feel quite ready to harvest it yet. But we'll have to wait and see... . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #mandrake #mandragora #officinarum

May 1, 2024 Happy May 1! Blessed Beltane! ✨🌷✨🌻✨🌸✨🪻✨ (And if you're a socialist/Communist, Happy Labour Day ⚒️) My black henbane is finally blooming, even after it's been eaten by a-hole caterpillars. Henbane flowers are so fascinating, with that mix of deep purple and soft yellow. And they actually make decent dried flowers, retaining their soft yellow color and purple accents. Black henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) is one of the most famous poison plants in European witchcraft, particularly as an flying ointment ingredient. Black henbane was used as a flavouring in beer historically, but it was eventually replaced by hops during the late Middle Ages. While there are other Hyoscyamus species found in Africa and the Middle East, the genus is not found in East Asia. . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery
April 30, 2024 Look at these f**king as*holes, and look at the damage they have done to the datura seedlings...🤬🤬🤬🤬 This damage was done in two days, and I don't even know how these jerks got onto the plants... Well, they paid for their feast with their lives... The chickens loved them. I know pollinators are important, and I try hard not to step on or otherwise harm the caterpillars when they are literally EVERYWHERE on EVERYTHING! But when they choose to eat my plants, when there are literally millions of other options for them to munch on, they've got to go. 😤 . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #datura #daturainoxia #daturainnoxia #thornapple #devilstrumpet #moonflower #hornworm

April 20, 2024 Happy Taurus Season! ♉. A pretty big storm is blowing through and bringing in wind, rain and chilly temperature. Most of the honey bees are staying put inside their hives, but I found this lady taking refuge from the storm inside a Datura wrightii "Moon Child" blossom... When honey bees out foraging, they will take note of the weather, and will try to rush home before any bad weather hits. But not all of them can make it home in time... If a honey bee gets caught in bad weather, she will try to find a safe spot to land and wait it out, just like this little lady here. And I am absolutely loving the protection this datura is offering. So many people misunderstand the true nature of Datura and her energy. Yes, she is poisonous and she can eff you up good if you don't know how to respect her. But she is also loving and protective, and she sure can heal (evidence can be seen in her role in medicines around the world). I hope this honey bee can make it home... ✨🐝✨ . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #datura #daturawrightii #moonchild #thornapple #jimsonweed #honeybee #honeybeemagic

𝕱𝖔𝖝𝖌𝖑𝖔𝖛𝖊 "The plant is Venusian in nature, denoted by its lush leaves and bell-shaped flowers but more so through its action on the heart. As a homeopathic remedy, it is used for healing the heart and emotional body, bringing love into the aura. It helps dispel fear by bringing strength and courage. It is also used to bring a sense of comfort to those who feel unloved or abandoned. Chemically, the plant produces a poison called digitoxin, which has a powerful effect on the heart, causing a dramatic cardiac response. It is still used in modern medicine in certain heart medications, although rarely. It has been used to treat congestive heart failure and arrhythmias. Even in small doses, the toxins of this plant can cause cardiac arrest and heart failure." Michael, Coby. The Poison Path Herbal. Foxglove is a biennial that produces flowers in the second year. Its lovely lush leaves had made a beautiful backdrop for my poison garden last year. She did not like the southern heat much, so I constantly had to nuture and attempt to shade her as much as possible. All that care and attention absolutely paid off with these blooms. I will collect her seeds and keep this gorgeous, deadly plant as a staple. Enjoy. #poisongarden #poisonpath #poisonplants #foxglove #faerie #faeries #cottagecore #garden #greenwitch #banefulherbs
I’ve realised recently that I’ve misunderstood my own painting, The Guardian, which shows a Fox in a churchyard, with Foxgloves. I’ve a bit of a thing about foxgloves. I think it might have started with The Day of the Triffids, because that’s what they remind me of. Oh the horror of watching that on so-called kids’ TV, the entire human race rendered blind and stalked by sentient flesh eating plants… it was terrifying, but compulsive viewing for 10 year old me. Foxgloves might not be actual flesh eaters but they certainly have their darker side. Among many interesting bits of folklore I’ve picked up over the years there is this one. Apparently if you believed the fae had done a swap with your child, the prescribed action was to give the suspect kid three drops of foxglove juice, sit it on a shovel and swing it out of the door three times, shouting, ‘If you are a fairy, away with you!’ If it was fae the child would vanish. If not, I guess you just had to hope you hadn’t overdosed little Billy, or whoever. Nowadays Children’s Social Care take a dim view of this kind of thing, so we tend to do assessments and referrals instead. Another fae-related fact is this. Apparently the fae taught foxes to ring the foxgloves, to warn their kind of incoming hunters and hounds. I love that.. a whole army of Fox Guardians springing up in summer in the woods to protect the foxes and their young ones. So you see, I always thought that The Guardian in my painting was the Fox, keeping watch over the souls of those returned to the earth. Turns out that The Guardian is actually the purple Foxglove, watching over the Fox and his tribe, rung to warn of impending danger. I think I prefer that interpretation ... I love the idea of Guardian Foxgloves! What do you think? Know any more foxglove lore? Please share! #plantlore #foxgloves #banefulplants #banefulherbs #poisonousplants #foxes #fae
Flying ointment is made with poisonous or baneful herbs such as foxglove, nightshade, datura, opium poppy, monkshood and mandrake.

🌼An example of how you can prepare flower essences: ✨With a no contact method: by placing the flower near the vessel that contains your water, or when possible actually doing it the other way around. Placing your vessel meal the flower without causing any disruption to it. This method should be used in case of poisonous flowers as no part of the plant touches the water. - the other way is placing the flower in the water for a few hours 🌼 either way, it’s best to do it under a full sun/moon whatever planetary fancyness you feel draw to. Spend the time observing the flower, try to understand the botanical structure, and think about what it needed to grow through to become what it is.✨

April 10, 2024 Look at the size of these Datura wrightii flowers!!!! This is Datura wrightii "Moon Child", the datura from the Southern Utah desert. She's 3 years old now, has survived crazy freezes in the past 3 years. She dies back each winter, but comes back in the spring. "Moon Child" bloomed her first flowers of the season during Total Solar Eclipse, and these flowers are at least a day old (that's why they look a bit spent). It's interesting to see the size of flowers changes according to weather conditions -- we have been having a wet spring, and "Moon Child" is obviously enjoying the extra moisture! . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #datura #daturawrightii #moonchild #thornapple #jimsonweed

She whispers to me from the night darkness to come by and sit a spell 👑 to remember that silent flowers in the night bloom just as bold as any of the day. That toxic beauty is alluring and secret knowledge is rewarding. To dance in the halls of hallucination and speak in a language only witches understand. Datura in flower. Where I'm currently living the seeds have not even sprouted: nor have the plants sent up shoots. But here near the southern border the flowers are in full experience and I could not be more happy or grateful than I am in these moments. #datura #folkwitch #moonflower #banefulherbs #herbalist #druid #witch #gaypagan #gayherbalist #herbalism #wicca #occult #flowers #witchcraft #spellcraft #toxic
April 2, 2024 Happy April! Hope no one got fooled... Datura innoxia "White Rabbit" is blooming. Her fragrance from a single flower fills the whole greenhouse. Fun fact: all of the D. innoxia I have currently growing are rogues -- these were seeds that I thought were duds, but it turned out they just took their time to sprout. Datura innoxia "White Rabbit" is the first poison ally that I consciously made connections and developed a relationship with, and she's the one that guided me into the rabbit hole of poisonous plant medicine (hence the name "White Rabbit" I gave her). I love all daturas, but "White Rabbit" has a special place in my heart, along with her close cousin Datura wrightii "Moon Child". . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #datura #daturainoxia #daturainnoxia #thornapple #jimsonweed

Water hemlock is a different genus than common hemlock - they are completely different plants! However, both are highly neurotoxic, but in different ways. Common hemlock has a musty smell when crushed while water hemlock has a pleasant carroty fragrance. Water hemlock's toxins are concentrated in the tuberous roots while virtually every part of common hemlock is highly toxic. . . . https://strangefireandfumery.com/ #strangefireandfumery #perfume #fragrance #perfumecollection #parfum #perfumelovers #indieperfume #poisonpath #poisonous #poisongarden #veneficium #datura #poisonplants #banefulherbs

Venus fly trap getting ready to bloom! So excited to finally have some plants growing at home again! Peppers galore, datura, henbane, belladonna, Venus fly trap, orchids, mandrake, wormwood, mugwort, dragon fruit, cacti and more!!! Some of them came to me already as plants but many of the were started from seed. It’s been a great learning experience figuring out what works and what doesn’t after moving across the country and switching to indoor vs outdoor growing. I’ll be teaching a workshop for the HorrOCCULTure conference in a few weeks hosted by Devin Hunter of modernwitch.com The workshop is called “Black Thumbs and Problematic Plants” and teaches how to approach the oftentimes shit show of growing an indoor poison garden with humor. I’ll be sharing my personal experience and what has worked for me as well as tips for avoiding catastrophe. We will be looking at individual plants from mandrake to aconite and all the well-loved nightshades of the witch’s garden. I’ll be shining light on the infamous black thumb syndrome and how to remedy it while also embracing the death side of plant cultivation in conjunction with being a magical practitioner. - #plantwitch #greenwitch #gardenmagick #poisongarden #banefulherbs

I have been wanting this particular variety of stramonium for quite some time, and thanks to other poison path friends I was able to get some seeds. I started them last summer, but they didn't grow until this year 😳. Now I'm obsessed! Datura stramonium is usually all white, so I need to dig deeper to see what caused this purple mutation. D. stramonium is what I call the "cold weather" datura, found mostly in more temperate/colder locales, such as Europe or northern parts of United States. In most European witchcraft texts or grimoires, when datura is mentioned, D. stramonium is what they are referring to. Their tropane alkaloid ratio is somewhat different than D. innoxia, D. wrightii and D. metel, and I have read that the effects from stramonium are also somewhat different than those other varieties (likely due to different alkaloid ratio). I personally have not used stramonium in my products because I never seem to grow enough of them. And I must admit I didn't feel as strong a connection with her as I feel with innoxia or wrightii. But the purple variation of stramonium is certainly capturing my heart! #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #datura #daturastramonium
March 15, 2024 Comfrey flowers 🌱💜🌱 I have two plants growing, and while they woke up not about a month or so ago, one of them is already flowering!!! Those little bells are so adorable, they look like fairies in pink/purple ball gowns! Symphytum officinale, common comfrey or true comfrey, is a perennial flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae. In folk medicine, Symphytum officinale roots were used in traditional medicine internally (as a herbal tea or tincture) or externally (as ointment, compresses, or alcoholic extract) for treatment of various disorders. However comfrey is mildly toxic. Like most Boraginaceae, it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are toxic compounds readily absorbed via the stomach or skin, and have the potential to increase the risk of fatal liver toxicity. Long-term usage, internally or externally, is not advised. My two plants are rather small and grow close to the ground because of our summer heat, but comfrey can get big and tall (1-5 feet). I do think I might have a new plant popping up from a rogue seed. 😁 . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #comfrey #folkmedicine #symphytumofficinale

Our neighbour has this beautiful yet poisounous Brugmansia plant in his front yard, also known as "Angel's Trumpet" or "devil's trumpet" a close relative of the Datura Inoxia plant and quite useful in baneful workings and ritual working. Have been wanting to get my hands on some to apply in my practice and what i've learned from The Poison Path Baneful Herbs and Medicinal Nightshades. 😁 This beautiful plant is said to be used to cause trancelike states and is psychoactive capable of causing a victim to obey anything they've been told to do without question among other famous examples such as in haitian voodoo causing zombie like states. @hmacnkeegs applying myself to the book you suggested. 🖤 #datura #brugmansia #devilstrumpet #angelstrumpet #scopolamine #baneful #banefulherbs #banefulplants #poisonpath #poisonous #deadly #trance

Baneful herbs are a unique group of plants , that through out history, have a past that's both dark and light.

🧹⚔️✨🌺 Hellebore, a poisonous plant ally governed by the planet Saturn- (or the lord of karma and lessons). This powerful plant has been used magically in banishing and necromancy, also associated with the goddess Hecate. It was also one of the powerful and poisonous herbs included in witches flying ointment “and is said to possess the power to render magicians invisible.” 🌕I truly enjoy making these drawn on pieces, thank you for complete creative freedom, for choosing to do poisonous plants and eyeballs, and trusting me to make something for you!

Wise words from the Master astrologer, Michael Lutin. “No matter what is going on in your life, which could be a chaotic mess at this point,If you have to squeeze the last drops of kindness and generosity out of yourself, with Saturn rising above the Sun, try to find it in your heart to weep with Joy and gratitude for the happiness and good fortune of others. Angels will be watching.” @mikeylutin
February 28, 2024 I'm so happy -- and relieved -- to see Datura wrightii "Moon Child" has returned, and I might even have a few rogue babies to help fill out the patch. "Moon Child" is a datura from the Escalante, Utah area. We love hiking in that part of Utah, and that's how I met "Moon Child". We were driving back through this winding valley after a day of hiking, and the corner of my eye caught a bush of datura growing on the side of the road. I literally yelled "STOP!!!!" at my husband so I could jump out of the car, ran back along the highway to the datura bush. I had just learned about the plant for the first time from another witch a few months back, so for me to meet the plant in the wild was the most exciting thing! ✨🤩✨ The following year we went back to Escalante, UT for another hiking vacation. This time I met even more datura -- along the highway, on dried river bed, in the middle of the desert. I saw a huge bush of datura growing along the base of the mountain when there's nothing else was growing around! On our way back to camp, we drove pass the datura I met the year before. I collected a couple of seed pods, hoping they would contain viable seeds (I still didn't really know how to identify viable seeds pods at the time). Ultimately datura had gifted me some viable seeds from those pods, and I was able to grow several plants, and the rest is history. The plants in my datura patch are now 3 years old, and many of my datura products are made with materials from these plants. I have other Datura wrightii growing as well -- I got seeds from other reliable sources like Strictly Medicinal, and they are dear allies on this poison path, but I definitely feel most connected with "Moon Child". I'm so glad that she is thriving in Texas. . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #datura #daturawrightii

February 24, 2024 Happy Full Moon 🌕 in ♍! Spring has certainly returned to Texas while I was gone. I'm happy to see a few new babies showing up in the Poison Garden: 🌱 Rogue datura babies... Not really sure which species they are at this point, they could be innoxia, discolor, metal or stramonium 🤔 Based on the bigger leaf shape, I want to say innoxia... But they could be a mix of several varieties in that clump 😅 🌱 Mandragora turcomanica baby... I got 10 seeds from Strictly Medicinal Seeds a while back while they were on sale. 2 actually sprouted, but only 1 made it so far, and the one made it actually popped up while I was gone and grew this much in about 2 weeks. 🌱 Atropa belladonna baby... I planted a bunch of deadly nightshade seeds, different varieties, back in December. This is the only sprout so far. The seeds might have gotten stunned during the short freeze that we had in January... We'll see what the rest will do. . . . #poisonousplants #poisongarden #poisonplants #poisonplantwitch #poisonplantwitchery #poisonpath #veneficium #plantmedicine #poisonplantmedicine #witchsgarden #poisonandbee #poisonplantmagic #plantspiritmedicine #poisonpathwitch #magicalherbalism #magickalherbalism #poisonousplantmedicine #banefulherbs #occultherbalism #poisonpathwitchery #datura #atropabelladonna #deadlynightshade #mandrake #mandragoraturcomanica #springishere

Black nightshade is found worldwide in many different varieties that are a mix of native, invasive, and naturalized. While poisonous if ingested, it is not deadly or hallucinogenic like its cousin belladonna which it is often confused with due to its black berries. Unlike belladonna, ripe black nightshade berries are edible. Black nightshade is a traditional medicine in Africa and Asia where it also has spiritual properties of protection and purification and some African peoples use it in divination to communicate with the ancestors. In India black nightshade is a plant of Kali and she can be depicted holding a sprig of it. Bane Folk offers a flower essence of black nightshade using solanum ptycanthum, also known as eastern black nightshade, native to eastern North America. Essences are low dose alternative medicines used to soothe emotional and spiritual issues and imbalances. Black nightshade essence can be called upon for purifying the mind and spirit, chasing away toxicity that weighs you down, and unblocking your path. It can connect you with your past memories, your past lives, and your ancestors for remembrances and knowledge which can help you with your current life path. Available in the online shop (link in bio). In contemporary folk magic and witchcraft black nightshade is associated with toads, Hekate, Hermes, the ancestors, the underworld, and soul flight. #banefolk #blacknightshade #solanumptychanthum #solanumamericanum #easternblacknightshade #nightshades #solanaceae #medicinalnightshades #poisonasmedicine #floweressence #bachfloweressences #bachflowerremedies #toxicbotanicals #lowdosebotanicals #poisonousplants #toxicplants #banefulplants #banefulherbs

The Three Purifying Herbs of the Grimorium Verum with Dr. Alexander Cummins @grimoiresontape Within the pages of that infamous manual of black magic known as the Grimorium Verum are found not only the instructions for conjuring devilish spirits but the very means to consecrate, regulate, and empower one’s instruments and operations – that is, by asperging with three potent purifying herbs: marjoram, mint, and rosemary. These three purifiers – neatly instantiating the three ancient Greek worlds of Sky, Underworld, and Sea – offer much for those who traffick with all manner of so-called ‘unclean’ spirits: from chthonic elementals to demonised daimones, and indeed (perhaps especially) those spirits deemed dangerous even by our pagan ancestors. Working with oroganum, menthe, and coronis presents means for the conjuror to make pacts, the exorcist to cleanse spaces, and the witch and sorcerer alike to return themselves to grounded and stable humoural equilibrium. In this presentation Dr Alexander Cummins will share advice and techniques gleaned from years of practical and occasionally hard-won experience for working with these three powerful plant allies in cunning works of goetia and beyond. - Tickets available now on Eventbrite for the event live March 8-10th #grimoiriumverum #ritualmagic #occultherbalism #veneficium #plantlore #botanicaobscuraconference #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #veneficium #banefulherbs #poisonousyplants #ethnobotany #pharmakeia #ethnobotanical #ethnobotany #pharmacognosy #plantyyspiritmedicine #plantspirithealing #plantlore #traditionalwitchcraft #traditionalwitch #plantlore #plantmagick #banefulherbs #magickalnightshade
