Belladonna is the gateway. The Void. A five pointed doorway to madness, ecstasy, power and sometimes death. Her secret is that they are one and the same. She teaches us to embrace the most primal parts of ourselves, to love and even embrace the dark, the filthy, the ugly because it is here that lies our greatest power. We seek our inner demons for advice, our inner succubus for love, the old and withered crone for wisdom. Instead of running from them or trying to control them, turning around and gazing in to the black depths of the scrying mirror that is our Shadow. Don’t seek the shadow to shine light on its darkness. Revel in its eternal night. Darkness is the natural state of all things. It is the silence of consciousness. - - - #belladonna #deadlynightshade #poisonpath #devilscherry #atropabelladonna #veneficium #poisonwitch #toxicwitch #banefulherbs #devilsgarden #witchesgarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CjgX2uaLHBU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
