"This gloriously illustrated grimoire of ancient plant magic for the modern world is an essential addition to the shelves of latter-day witches and herbalists."
Written with verve by the irrepressible Seed Sistas, “clinical herbalists, wild and wicked witches of the fields, gardens and hedgerows and the tech-webisphere”, Poison Prescriptions aims to encourage “the rediscovery of old ways of being and reintegrating medicine and ritual”, as musician Neneh Cherry shares in her foreword.
Focussing on some of the most notorious “witching herbs”, among them henbane, datura and belladonna, the book invites readers to reengage with ancient magic and ritual in order to find healing and wellbeing. While providing historic context, the Seed Sistas explain that “confidence, respect and understanding are needed when using these magical substances. Their potential toxicity is what makes them such valuable medicines.”
If you’re new to ritual herb magic, there are plenty of easy-to-follow instructions for everything from honey and rosemary protection rites and new moon manifestation rituals, to seed-planting rituals, psychotropic flying ointments, and unleashing sacred sexuality through said flying ointment and “passion potion”. At once passionate and practical, Poison Prescriptions is packed with fascinating insights and suffused in the magic of nature.
