Witch dedicated to desettling my craft. I am a devotee of the Welsh Goddess Arianrhod of the silver wheel, as well as Hekate, Goddess of Witches. I also work closely with Venus and Aphrodite, Athena and the Morrigan. I post some original content, mostly pictures of my altars.

Since the Middle Ages, known as the “Witches Plant”, Henbane has been used by practitioners and healers in ritual purifications by smoke, in addition to the preparation of flying ointments and love philtres.
Ancient times saw Henbane used for ritual purposes in Europe
34 separate alkaloids have been discovered in Black Henbane. Most focused upon today are hyoscine, hyoscyamine, and atropine.
One recorded experience states: “I experienced an intoxicating sensation of flying…I soared where my hallucinations—the clouds, the lowering sky, herds of beasts, falling leaves…billowing streamers of steam and rivers of molten metal—were swirling along.”
Henbane has long since been used for communicating with the deceased. Black Henbane has consistently been reported as one of the “witches herbs” included in flying ointments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Henbane aids with depression, hindered libido, insomnia, headaches, carpal tunnel, menstrual cramps, motion sickness, arthritis, & muscle and joint pain.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Henbane is a nervine relaxant, immediately targeting the nervous system, aiding to calming of nerves, reducing psychological & physical strain.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A larger dose of ointment helps to induce sleep, acting as a sedative.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Historically, Henbane was a fundamental part of the “soporific sponge”, which was used as an anesthetic before surgical procedures.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plant material(s) for this ointment is grown, harvested, infused, and poured by me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ingredients include Black Henbane (hyoscyamus niger), poplar buds, organic sunflower oil, and candelilla, vegan wax. ⠀⠀⠀

I’m watching “Sabrina” and it makes me want to get witchy again. Except...I don’t really do magic unless I REALLY need something, so I was wondering if you could recommend ways to inject magic into my everyday.
The Book of Problems!!
I took a little notebook, dubbed it The Book of Problems, and started writing down problems that I encountered. Big problems, little problems, problems that aren’t really problems but they annoy me so I wrote them down anyway...
Like, one problem in there is “The US Government”. Another problem is “My handwriting is messy”. So there’s no upper or lower limit as to how big a problem must be in order to be included in the book. They don’t even have to be YOUR problems. You can write down problems that other people have too.
Then, when I’m feeling Witchy, I’ll go through the book and find a problem to solve. Maybe do a glamour for the handwriting thing. Another problem was that my spirit guide had been super quiet lately, so I set aside some time and invited him to do some divination with me. Sometimes my problem is “I want a chocolate chip cookie” and I’ll do a spell to inspire someone in the house to make cookies or bring some home.
But yeah. That’s been a handy little tool for me. And it works well for different levels of energy too. Some days you want to do a full ritual and try to bind the US government, and other days you just wanna cleanse that one necklace you have that started giving you bad vibes.
I've been spending a lot less time on here this month as my school semester comes to an end but I'm very excited to have today off to celebrate 🥂 my plans for today may get rained out but I still feel so lively from Mondays full moon that nothing can bring me down.
