New Article! Philosophia Toxicum: A Discourse on the Poison Path by Coby Michael ☠️☠️☠️ linked in bio and also on Patheos Pagan. Artwork by Jaroslaw Blaminsky This article has been rectifying inside me for a few months now. Probably since the release of The Poison Path Herbal, which has started numerous conversations about the topic of Magickal toxicology. Much of what is discussed in public forums relates to the entheogenic use of the plants of the Poison Path, and while this is a very important part of the path and directly connected to a plant’s toxic nature, it is not the only pursuit of the poisoner. In this article I attempt to explain poison as an occult concept, and differentiate from entheogenic practices as Pharmakeía and Veneficium as those practices that focus on the herb as toxikon. #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #philosophiatoxicum #banefulherbs #veneficium #poisonwitchcraft #poisonmagic #entheogens #poisonersapothecary #poisonaffairs #danielschulke #poisonousplants #toxicology #pharmacognosy #ethnobotany (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZuKainL1dX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 14: My current read, I’ve read the Ars Philtron and Viridarium Umbris. This latest book is really good so far. It’s a lot more conceptual than I imagined it would be, but none the less full of useful information. At first I was wary of his writings but as with all authors on magic it’s best to read and use what works for you. I’d recommend this so far though, as I would the Ars Philtron (which I’ve read in PDF and also real Hardback). Also this book works well as an evening wind down with a cup of chamomile tea.. #100daysofwitchcraft#arsphiltron#danielschulke#thirteenpathwaysofoccultherbalism#witchesofsussex#witchesofreykjavik#pagan#herbalist#magicalherbalism#herbalism#animism#witchcraft#witchesofinstagram (at Reykjavík, Iceland)

“Poison is a glyph for magical power” - Daniel Schulke, Veneficium ☠️☠️☠️ I’m revisiting Veneficium (2nd edition) which I haven’t ready in about 7 years or so. It’s amazing how clearly these words still speak to me. Poison, as a magical force, is one of my reasons for walking this path. There is so much occult wisdom hidden in the history of toxicology. The tumultuous relationship between human and toxin is a looking glass showing us an often tarnished reflection. My witchcraft has always been about power. Power for the oppressed, the disenfranchised, the ostracized. Poison is the container for this gnosis, the knowledge that will slowly eat away and the established religions and political organizations that try to control us. We do as we have always done, undermining the work of the Demi-urge from within his creation. #poisonpath #veneficium #danielschulke #sabbaticcraft #sabbaticwitchcraft #banefulherbs #poisonmagic #toxicology #witchesgarden #ethnopharmacology #entheogens #gardenofhekate #veneficus #pharmakeia https://www.instagram.com/p/CZkca42u-2v/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hands of Apostasy

A gathering of voices from the Old Craft.

Hands of Apostasy: Essays on Traditional Witchcraft, edited by Michael Howard and Daniel A. Schulke, offers nineteen perspectives on diabolic folklore, ecstatic rites, the spirit-flight, and the forgotten roots of the Craft.

Illustrated by the late Timo Ketola, the book is as visually charged as it is spiritually subversive.

A door for those who hear the whisper.

Poison is a glyph for magical power itself: complex, concentrated, liberated in the hands of the elect, and disastrous in the hands of the fool. Its very nature is transmutative, changing all it touches, the maker and breaker of laws, policies, and epidemiological systems. It encompasses what industrialized society conceives as 'drugs', being both the therapeutic agents of medicine, as well as the sanctioned or banned ministers of pleasure and consciousness alteration. Poison also embraces the toxin: destroyer and mutilator of flesh, whether weaponized in the arsenal of soldier or farmer, or lurking in the environment: the scorpion's engorged tail or the industrial pollutant silently pervading the water table. All of these venom clades, for good and ill, penetrate magic and sorcery on manifold levels, and imply a spiritual discipline of magical toxicology, which in recent times has been called "The Poison Path'.
