Lamiarum Unguenta screenprint on archival paper. Now in the shop! 🌿 I’m hoping to make more in-depth drawings like this one in the near future. Lamiarum Unguenta is Latin for “witches’ ointment,” a paste made from various poisonous plants in a base of animal fat. This topical ointment was absorbed through the skin, allowing the psychoactive effects of the plant to elevate the mind to a trance-like state and aid in astral travel.

Freshly screenprinted and restocked! 🌿 Lamiarum Unguenta, meaning “witches’ ointment,” is a paste made primarily from psychoactive plants in a base of animal fat and used to aid in night flight. The unguent is applied topically and absorbed into the skin, allowing the psychoactive effects of the plants to induce a deep sleep in which astral projection may be achieved. In this trance-like state it is said witches would ride the sky alongside the goddess Diana or, more popularly theorized, fly through the night to meet at the Witches’ Sabbat. A few of the most consistent plant ingredients found in texts on the subject are Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum), Datura (Datura stramonium), Monkshood (Aconitum spp.), Belladonna (Atropa belladonna), Henbane (Hyoscyamous niger), Mandrake root (Mandragora officinalis), and Ergot (Claviceps purpurea). Each of these plants are known collectively as “witches’ weeds.” 🌿 Read the full description and pick up a patch at PoisonApplePrintshop.com 🖤 #poisonappleprintshop #witchesointment #unguent #lamiarumunguenta #poisonousplants #ridethesky #nightflight #cultofdiana #witchessabbat #supporthandmade

I recently unearthed a few artist proofs from the long sold out limited edition of Lamiarum Unguenta screenprints! Artist Proofs, for those unfamiliar with the term, are prints created by the artist during the printing process to test different colors or see the current state of the print layers. These special proofs are not part of the final limited edition, but are often more coveted because of their rarity. Two Lamiarum Unguenta artist proofs will be coming with me to the @bloodmilk Night Market in Philadelphia this weekend! I’ll be set up on Friday evening from 7-11pm at @tmoms . Be sure to stop by early for the best selection! 🖤 #poisonappleprintshop #bloodmilknightmarket #lamiarumunguenta #artistproof #screenprinting #printmaking #lamia #flyingointment #witchesointment #poisonousplants #nightflight #spiritflight #unguent

Remember that Medusa oil I mentioned last week? Now it’s an unguent. There’s just something about smearing a scented balm all over skin and I couldn’t resist binding it together with beeswax to make something decadent. That sticky ball of labdanum is in here and I added Dittany of Crete, honey, and poplar buds and other intoxicatingly aromatic herbs and resins to bring out the woody, resinous sweetness. It’s really, really damned good. Only made a few of these. In the shop update tonight.
