The Witching Herbs – Working with Baneful Plants
A Livestream Class with Ellen Evert Hopman
at in The Enchanted Parlor
Join Ellen Evert Hopman for a powerful class on working safely with some of the most Spirit-filled herbs in the Witch’s pharmacopeia.
These herbs have strong Spirits, which is why they have been used by Witches and Shamans for millennia. Ellen will talk about how to use them safely. A note of caution: these plants can kill you. They have strong and determined Spirits, which is what makes them powerful allies in your magickal work.
The best ways to employ them are to burn them as incense (outside), use them as washes for ritual items, use them as a liquid to asperge the ritual area, or wear them in a cloth bag so they don’t touch your skin. Another safe approach is to purchase or make a homeopathic dilution, 30C or above, which will enable you to safely ingest the plant matter. Wear gloves when handling these herbs.
The most powerful method of all is to grow the plant yourself and form a strong bond with it by feeding it and talking to it. Then you can ask its Spirit for aid in your spiritual journey. Ellen does not advise drinking these herbs, eating them, or putting them directly onto your skin.
