Six Plant Teachers
Death Camas
Discernment between nourishment and harm.
Monkshood
Protection, and the unconscious self.
False Hellebore
Purging what we swallowed to survive.
Purple Nightshade
Reclaiming power we were taught to disown.
Foxglove
The heart's own rhythm, and the fae who guard it.
Poison Hemlock
Meeting an ending with clear eyes.
Dose, Preparation, Relationship
Approached as essences, the six help us meet our own dangerous edges with the same exactness these plants have always demanded. Nothing here asks us to be careless, and nothing here treats these plants as villains.
For anyone walking the poison path, studying the baneful herbs, or tending shadow material, this set offers teachers who are severe and generous at once.
Working the Path
01
Take one essence at a time, across a full lunar cycle, before adding the next. These six are specific and strong, and blending them at the start makes learning what each one does impossible.
02
Keep a dream record. Poison plants tend to arrive in dreams before they arrive in waking insight, which is part of how they teach.
03
Expect revelation before comfort. These plants show us what we have been avoiding, and the relief comes after the seeing rather than instead of it.
Dosis sola facit venenum
Only the dose makes the poison. Paracelsus wrote these words in the sixteenth century, and their truth resonates through this set.
From Wild Meadow To Dropper Bottle
I make every Alchemessence flower essence by hand, in small batches, from flowers gathered in the wild places and gardens I know best: alpine meadows in the Rockies, Cascade forests, the Oregon coast and the high desert of Central Oregon.
Flower essences are vibrational remedies with no scent, and every one is nontoxic, including those made from poison path plants.
Four Drops, Four Times A Day
Take 4 drops under the tongue or in a glass of water, 4 times a day. You can also rub a drop onto your pulse points or add a few to your bath.
Many folks stay with one essence for a full lunar cycle before reassessing.
Each 15ml stock bottle is preserved in your choice of grape alcohol, cane alcohol or apple cider vinegar, all organic.
