Solanaceae


The Solanaceae, or nightshade family, is filled with robust and adaptable aquatic plants. Their intriguing leaf designs and structure add a touch of wilderness and exoticism to the underwater scenery.

Poison Plant Magical Correspondences-  thought I’d do a little info post, a crash course on the uses of different poisonous ☠️ pants in magic and ritual.  These are just a few of the magical uses for well known poisonous plants that are traditional ritual entheogens of Europe. 

Datura/Thornapple: hexing, love spells, visionary journeys, nocturnal spirits/energies, lunar magic, nightmares, fear, anxiety, aggression, detox. Trickster/shapeshifter/dream guide 

Hellebore: maleficia, dark goddesses, witch archetype, madness, binding, strangulation, vampirism, Hecate, Lilith, Kali

Poison Hemlock: cord cutting, separation, anti-love,  break up spells, destroy sex drive, consecration of ritual blades, bring end to a situation, redemption and reparation. 

Henbane: necromancy, communicating with the dead, underworld travel, weather magic, love spells/aphrodisiac, spirit manifestation, ritual fumigation.  Thunder/sky gods. 

Wolfsbane: queen of poisons, shapeshifting, lycanthropy, Hecate, Cerberus, chthonic spirits, Shiva, The Hermit, withdraw, introspection, solitude.

All of these plants have an extensive ethnobotanical history and have become associated with flying ointments and witchcraft.  All of these plants have psychoactive effects and are potentially poisonous.  Their association with magic is so pronounced that they act as potential ones and magical allies that can empower almost any magical working!
