Weaving Remembrance of the Scottish Witch Hunts
WITCHES FLYING POTION
Amongst others, I am a qualified and insured flower essence practitioner who has created the Witches Flying Potion from some of the most magical plants that are associated with witchcraft, spirit flight, and the poison path. The essences below do not contain any plant material. They contain the energetic imprint (spirit) of the various plants and fungi and are preserved in Organic Brandy. This enables you to safely experience these magical plants.​
​
The Witches Flying Potion is best inhaled or dropped on the crown of the head to help achieve an altered state that can aid spirit flight. Call the spirit of each plant into your circle and allow it to guide you across the hedgerows or through the veil to the otherworld. Use it in rituals, or to anoint your magical tools.
​
Henbane
Mandrake
Belladonna
A witch plant of the same family as Mandrake and Belladonna. It is one of the ingredients used to make flying ointment. In plant from, it is used as a painkiller, to induce oblivion, create altered states and even death, depending on dosage. In essence form, it serves as a key that can open the doorway to spirit flight.
The quintessential magical plant, feared and valued for its strange root and powerful narcotic properties. It is the main hallucinogenic ingredient used by both shamans and witches. In essence form, it is most effective when it is placed on top of the head to create a safe otherwordly visionary experience.
Deadly Nightshade, also known as Belladonna, was reportedly used in witchcraft as a flying ointment. When the plant was soaked in fat then applied externally it induced the sensation of flying, due to its hallucinogenic effects. In essence form it clears away self-deceptions which can release one's own demons and lead to transformation of the self.
Monkshood
This poisonous plant is also known as Wolfsbane. This plant has ancient connections with the warding off werewolves. Historically it was used to create poison arrows. It is also associated with the goddess Hekate and is another plant listed as a medieval ingredient in witches’ flying ointments.
Datura
Also known as Thorn Apple and the Devil's Apple. It is known in both the Old and New Worlds as a medicinal, magical and sacred plant. Its spirit is a kin to bathing in moonlight. It can facilitate the release of mental and emotional spiritual intrusions, enabling us to transmute our ‘dark night of the soul’ into wisdom.
Fly Agaric
The striking red and white spotted mushroom use as a sacred power plant is recorded from Siberia into India, Finland to Northern and Middle America. In essence form, it can offer an enhanced sense of inner knowledge and enable communication with nature spirits and the unseen world of Elfhame.
