Bane wort is already showing them their new hangout. My art supplies are in goblin hands. Morel has found my highlighter and is digging in his ear. Dwale has burgled a paintbrush and is pretending to paint the art I was sent by their creator. #banewort #dwale #morel #whimsicalcreaturesus # #atropaarmy #belladonnadollsgoblinarmy #goblindoll https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxx8mRogNze/?igshid=rzduoufbq9pl

Belladonna

(Atropa belladonna) Poisonous.

Folk Names: Banewort, Black Cherry, Deadly Nightshade, Death's Herb, Devil's Cherries, Divale, Dwale, Dwaleberry, Dwayberry, Fair Lady, Great Morel, Naughty Man's Cherries, Sorcerer's Berry, Witch's Berry. Gender: Feminine. Planet: Saturn. Element: Water. Deities: Hecate, Bellona, Circe.

Ritual Uses: The priests of Bellona, according to ancient tradition, drank an infusion of belladonna prior to worshipping Her and invoking Her aid. Bellona is the Roman Goddess of war.

Magical Uses: Today belladonna is little-used in herb magic due to its high toxicity—all parts of the plant are extremely poisonous and there are still reports of death resulting from accidental ingestion of nightshade. In the past it was used to encourage astral protection and to produce visions, but safer alternatives are available today and belladonna is best avoided.
