Historically, magical ointments have been used for much more than just spirit flight. These entheogenic preparations have been adapted for use in ritual and spellcraft to suit the needs of the practitioner. We seem mention of magical ointments being used in shapeshifting and in the transformation of others, love magic and all manner of maleficia. When we use flying ointments for magical practices, we are using the entheogenic state in a different way. Typically we would use these states to connect with the gods or the spirit realm, while this can be a component of spellcraft the intention of the ritual is more specific. In entheogenic ritual it is more about the experience, that is where the magic happens. When we employ baneful herbs in our magical workings we are tapping in to a number of different points of power. Daemons, Genii and Master Plant Spirits These are some of the most chemically powerful and magically famous herbs in the world, their spirits reflect this. When we work with baneful preparations we are tapping in to an ancient current of entheoenic practice and plant spirit consciousness. These spirits have all gone by different names, but they all show a willingness to help the magical practitioner.
