Crystal Tip of the Day

If you live in Australia, cane toads provide a renewable, Earth-friendly source of toadstones. Just remember, you can never have enough toads!

In fact, why not ensure Australia will never run out? Consider operating an underground toad-breeding facility!

The last mandrake and toadstone locket just went up last night. Not going to be doing any big restocks or updates for the holiday season this year just the usual offerings. I’d rather spend the season reading, supporting other people and enjoying the Yuletide. I’m going to be doing a seasonal shutdown after the winter solstice. If you’re trying to get your order by December 21st make sure it is placed by Nov 21st at the latest because so we run 4 week shipping times during the busy season! Thank you everyone for your patience and support 🖤 #poisonpath #poisonersapothecary #poisonjewelry #veneficium #yule #mandrake #mandragora #toadstone https://www.instagram.com/p/CkyZSetr55Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MUSEUM SECRETS: Toad Vaccines and Magical Jewellery

In today's episode of our Museum Secrets podcast, join Curator Matthew Winterbottom as he explores ancient beliefs about disease testing and vaccines, through our collection of toadstone rings.

These bizarre pieces of jewellery have a lot to tell us about the human effort to find hope in the face of illness and uncertainty, even when it involves the strangest superstitions. And at the end of the day, it turns out that toadstones have nothing to do with toads after all…
