All flowers have a healing vibration, and the poisonous plants are in particular considered power plants, used to transform, renew, and heal on deep levels of consciousness. Due to their danger, they are associated with a lot of mysterious folklore and misinformation. Restore these plant allies to their rightful place as sacred medicines and learn how to work with them safely as vibrational remedies and spirit allies. In both healing and initiation, one must face the darkness before seeing the light, and the baneful flower help us face our shadows and find the spirit within. They help restore our connection to the Earth, mortality, intuition, sexuality, spiritual contact, protection, draw boundaries and the awareness that dwells within our true heart.
Christopher Penczak is a modern Witch working in the Temple of Witchcraft tradition and community he helped co-found as a writer, teacher, and minister. His practice focuses on the intersection of Love, Will, and Wisdom as an ethos for today’s Witch, and focuses upon relationships with the plant realm, the patterns of astrology, traditional occultism, and the use of trance in the Craft.
He is the author of many books, including the award winning Temple of Witchcraft series, The Plant Spirit Familiar, and The Mighty Dead, as well as the co-owner of Copper Cauldron Publishing. The Temple of Witchcraft offers in-person and online mystery school and seminary training based upon his teachings.
