What is The Poison Path? What role does “poison” play in occult metaphysics as a force nature? The Poison Path is one manifestation of something much deeper. An ancient ophidian wisdom that has transmitted its venomous gnosis across human consciousness. How does the poison path manifest in different parts of the world and different times in history and what does that mean for those of us who wish to pursue poison as an occult practice. The Poison Path is much more than witchcraft with poisonous plants and in this presentation author Coby Michael will be ripping the chains off the garden gates to share why The Poison Path is such an important component of modern magical practice and our current collective evolution. Join us in two weeks @botanicaobscuraconference for an unforgettable week of presentations! - #botanicaobscuraconference #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #thepoisonpathherbal #cobymichael #poisoner #poisonwitch #veneficus #veneficium #witchcraft #occulttoxicology (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXzBX5rXXu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tea anyone? ☠️☠️☠️ The Poison Path Herbal describes the why and how of this thing we call the Poison Path. Both of those words contain a lot of meaning and baggage and make it sound like a tradition in and of itself, it’s not. There is enough plant lore and personal gnosis that you could fill lifetimes just working with plants like these, but they can also be added to your existing practice independently. You may only be called to work with a few of these plants, or if you are like me, you will become obsessed with all of them. Obsessed with the idea of poison in general. Toxicology is a fascinating topic and when we look at the history of poison we find that it has a very close and ancient connection to magical practice. The Posion Path explores many different types of plants and ways of working with them, and not all of them are deadly and dangerous. After walking a few steps on this path you quickly learn that what we call a thing is often very different than what it actually is. #thepoisonpathherbal #poisonherbal #poisonformulary #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #veneficium #pharmakeia #banefulherbs #balefulherbsb#poisonmagic #cobymichael #nightshades #ethnobotanicals #entheogens #ethnobotany #toxicology #witchcraft #occultherbalism https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjvjFtrOtx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Veneficium, from Latin venenum for poison was synonymous with maleficia or witchcraft. The transmission of the first venom took place in the Garden of Eden, a physical and spiritual corruption. The intoxicating fire from the heavens given to us through the wisdom of the Serpent. We are the venomous bybroduct of the world’s creation, infecting and transforming all we touch. I’ll be doing my Poison Magic presentation for Luna Mujer International Coven this Thursday. Hosted by @brujapower Poison magic comes from an interest in pre-modern ideas about toxins both physical and spiritual, folklore and superstition surrounding contagion and protection against poison and the intimate relationship between the poisoner and witch archetype. Both of these individuals wield power, break taboo and go against the norms. Poison whether physical or spiritual can be wielded to gain personal power and gnosis, whether through transformation and plant spirit relationships or more nefarious means. There are many poisoner figures throughout history, many of them women. The legendary, feminist folk heroes who were also believed to deal in the occult. Weaving together poison history and lore, Coby Michael author of The Poison Path Herbal creates a tapestry of occult philosophy and magical potential. Poison Magic can be applied to everyday life to transmute toxic energies, protect your boundaries and reclaim your power. - #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #thepoisonpathherbal #poisonmagic #veneficium #maleficium #darkherbalism #occultherbalist #cobymichael #banefulherbs #occulttoxicology (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhMreVr7zC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just like the poison garden in winter, there is so much growth and movement that happens in the darkness below the surface. There is a time to die back and strengthen one’s roots before unleashing a monstrous growth! Im back in my tower working my tail off! Lots to catch up on! Im pushing through some orders, maintaining the 4 week time frame which will hopefully start shrinking soon. I’ll be responding to emails and messages this week and making sure everything is where it needs to be before I launch the new offerings I have been working on! I have the Belladonna class coming up next weekend to get ready for and some other online presentations. The @botanicaobscuraconference is only a couple of months away and now I have a deadline for the first draft of my new book in April. And taxes 😵 so I’m going to be moving fast and doing a lot. If I’m not super quick to respond don’t worry, I am probably doing the thing you are messaging me about!

FRAUD ACCOUNT There will only ever be one Poisoner’s Apothecary! This pathetic attempt at a fake account couldn’t even spell the name of my book right 😂 Always knew this day would come. Guess I’ve finally arrived. I wouldn’t normally do this but I can’t control what you guys decide to do with this information. Have all the fun you want they have me blocked already. I bet it’s someone that I already know…..you have no idea of what I’m capable of. #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #fakeaccount #cobymichael #poisonersapothecary #poisonpathherbal #instagramfrauds https://www.instagram.com/p/CjsxSiqLEbu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
