Nineteen Magical Herbs

ז' באב תש"ע
Lughnasadh 8

The Magical and Ritual Use of Herbs by Richard Alan Miller.

This excellent work integrates scientific and mystical knowledge in a scholarly yet concise and easy to understand exploration of nineteen magical herbs used in witchcraft and shamanic work.

Ethnopharmacology Of Poisonous Plants


ז' באב תש"ע
Lughnasadh 8

The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications by anthropologist and ethnopharmacologist Christian Rätsch.

This new addition to my bookshelf is a superb academic reference and comprehensive text devoted to psychoactive plants. This book is a MUST-HAVE for any witch thinking about working magically and safely with Belladonna or any other potentially poisonous plant. "Each major monograph contains the plant’s scientific and common names, chemical structure, history, distribution, cultivation, appearance, preparation and dosage, ritual and medicinal uses, commercial forms and regulations, and effects, as well as research literature references." (Andy Wickens, Library Journal, August 2005)

"Christian Rätsch’s remarkable Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants is an essential and comprehensive work that explores not only the expanse of plants that affect human consciousness but the genetic necessity for humanity to experience wide-ranging flexibility in consciousness. The plant world is basic to us, the foundation of our food, clothing, and shelter. But Christian’s book reminds us that human/plant interactions reach much deeper than these three needs; plant intelligence reaches deep within us and teaches us to see, hear, and understand the deep meanings in the world, meanings that we need, and are meant, to encounter in order to remain human." (Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of The Secret Teachings of Plants and The Lost Language of Plants)

Genuine EUROPEAN MANDRAKE ROOT Oil

ז' באב תש"ע
Lughnasadh 8

This EUROPEAN MANDRAKE ROOT oil is made with the much more expensive hard to find genuine EUROPEAN MANDRAKE ROOT (Mandragora Officinarum), NOT the cheaper American Mandrake Root (Podophyllum peltatum). European Mandrake is the true mandrake described in ancient grimoires and Celtic folklore. The 3ml corked glass spell bottle is sealed with black wax and hung with a copper Celtic Witch's Knot charm by exquisitely colorful handmade hand dyed Red Paprika silk sari ribbon.



Long associated with magic, with an equally long history as a sacred herb in many cultures, and common in a variety of witch's brews, European mandrake contains extremely large amounts of tropane alkaloids and should be regarded as POISONOUS. DO NOT INGEST, handle with CAUTION.

Use in spells for protection, love, fertility, sexual potency, prosperity and health. Mandrake may also may be used for image and poppet magic, for exorcism of baneful energies and when working with Hekate.

Comes beautifully packaged.

This magical oil may be purchased at WITCHCRAFTS by Liorah Lleucu.

Potent YEW And POMEGRANATE SEED Oil


ז' באב תש"ע
Lughnasadh 8

A unique special offering of WITCHCRAFTS, this YEW and POMEGRANATE SEED Oil is a potent powerful blend of wildcrafted European YEW (Taxus baccata) evergreen needle tips and top of the line pure Premium certified organic POMEGRANATE SEED oil from Turkey (an expensive delicacy among oils)! The corked 3ml glass spell bottle is sealed with black wax, hung with a sterling silver pentacle charm by black satiny ribbon, and adorned with handmade hand dyed Terra Cotta (streaked with whispers of midnight black) silk sari ribbon.

Sacred to the Celts, Hekate and other dark goddesses of the Underworld, Yew unites life and death in an eternal cosmic harmony. Yew also aids in the acquisition of knowledge and skill with words, making Yew an important alchemical tool for working word magic.

Sacred to many Underworld deities, Pomegranate guards against baneful energies, calls forth the protective strength of Witch Blood (uniting and bonding together all witches throughgout time), and invokes the power of blæd to optimize the inflow and outflow of soul energy during shamanic journeys.

Perfect for SAMHAIN spellwork and HEDGEWITCHERY. Also may be used in other rituals involving death, ancestor work and raising spirits of the dead, evolving life passage rites, word alchemy, divination, clairvoyance, love, peace of mind.

Comes beautifully packaged.

**CAUTION** - Yew is poisonous - DO NOT INGEST. Even though fatal human poisoning is very rare, "the foliage and seeds contain several alkaloids, in particular taxine, very poisonous, which alters to hydrotaxine by hydrolysis; also one glucoside, taxicatine. The wood, bark, foliage and seeds are toxic. The foliage is the principal source of taxine. Old and desiccated foliage is more poisonous than young and fresh foliage." More information on the species of Yew used in this oil can be found here: http://www.conifers.org/ta/ta/baccata.htm

כ״ט בתמוז תש"ע
Lughnasadh 1

Open a magical door to the ancestral spirits of the Otherworld.

HEKATE Liminal Rites Talisman Pendant #2

כ״ג בתמוז תש"ע
Faunus 24

NOTE: This second Hekate pendant also contains a bronze bead and links Hekate to ancient Jewish magic and King Solomon.

This incredible HEKATE Liminal Rites talisman pendant contains genuine Wolfsbane (Aconitum napellus), Black Nightshade (Solanum nigrum), 3 whole Saffron stamens, 1 whole Blackthorn berry, Garlic, powdered Oak, a black Onyx gemstone chip, a sterling silver Key charm and a Bronze bead - all sacred to Hekate.



The glass vial pendant stands approximately 2 and 1/8 inches tall (from the bottom of the vial to the top of the round glass stopper). Adorned with a pewter Triple Crescent Moon Witch's Claw charm (approx 1 3/4" in diameter) and black satiny ribbon, the talisman hangs on an 18-20 inch adjustable black ribbon necklace made of 1 strand of 7mm black organza ribbon, 3 strands of 1mm black cotton cord and a lobster clasp closure.



Wolfsbane is a powerful root used for protection and invisibility. Also used for visionary work, uncrossing and crossing magic, underworld journeying, shamanic self initiation, and as a altar guardian.

When acquiring Wolfsbane (Aconite), ALWAYS know the species you are getting so that you can have some idea of how toxic the one you are getting is. Some species are less toxic than others (for example, those used in flying ointments and anointing oils should only be of a non-toxic variety). Information on the species of Wolfsbane (Aconitum napellus) used in this talisman can be found here - http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/a/aconi007.html.

Black Nightshade (a less toxic Nightshade than Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade but still poisonous) mediates prophecy and divination conjured through the power of Hekate (who is also known by Chaldean Oracles as the Cosmic Soul). A classic Samhain plant, Black Nightshade relates to the mysteries of the Otherworld. Used in liminal rites and lunar magic. Information on the species of Black Nightshade (Solanum nigrum) used in this talisman can be found here - http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/n/nighbl04.html.

In the Orphic Hymn to Hekate, Hekate is described as "the Saffron-cloaked Goddess of the Heavens." A herb in Hekate's own garden, Saffron powerfully raises the wind and strengthens psychic power with the force of the triple Goddess who stands at the Crossroads between life, death and rebirth.

Blackthorn connects to the Crone and Dark Power of Hekate as Witch of the Dark Moon and Queen of the Night.

Garlic is one of the offerings to Hekate at the Deipnon (Hekate Supper) held at the end of the lunar month during the dark phase of the moon (and before the sliver of the New Moon has been sighted).

An Oak tree stands in the center of Hekate's garden in Orphic Argonautica. Hekate is she who is crowned with oak-leaves.

Black Onyx is a projective protective stone of the Dark Goddess able quell psychic instability in the spellcaster and deflect psychic attack. Hekate is often found in ancient texts and on ancient amulets linked with Solomon and Hebrew Divine Names (particularly אדני Adonai and צבאות Tzevahot).

Sacred bronze is associated with Hekate's power in the Underworld. A bronze triple Hekate amulet, with King Solomon found on the obverse side performing hygromanteia (demon summoning) found in Italy at Ostia, links Hekate to Jewish magic. Hekate titles are also often found linked with the names of Hebrew angels.

Significant to Hekate's role as gatekeeper and key-bearing Queen of the entire Cosmos, her key to the door of Sacred Knowledge in this talisman is sterling silver.

The outward pointing crescents of the Witch's Claw wards off baneful energy. Interwoven triple crescents symbolize the kinship and harmony of Witches in powerful link together - the bond of Witchblood connects, strengthens and protects us all.

*****WARNING!!! - Some contents of this talisman are EXTREMELY POISONOUS and MAY BE LETHAL if ingested. DO NOT EAT, BURN or DIRECTLY HANDLE the contents of this talisman.*****

This incredibly powerful HEKATE talisman reminds us to always be mindful of the power we possess.

With power comes responsibility - The variety of Wolfsbane in this talisman is **EXTREMELY POISONOUS**. The glass vial is thoroughly sealed with black wax. If the glass breaks or the vial comes apart, **do not handle the contents with your bare hands** - USE GLOVES to return pieces of the botanical to the vial, to clean up the pieces and/or to dispose of them. Do not leave the talisman where children or unsuspecting adults may tamper with it. Use caution when handling, storing or disposing of vial contents. If you would like me to seal it with professional strength wine bottle sealing wax, write a note to me with purchase and I will happily add the heavy duty sealing wax to the seal at no extra charge. I used regular sealing wax only to make it easier to open the vial without breaking it should you want to use the contents for spellwork.

Comes in a black organza bag and beautifully packaged.
