Green Witchcraft/Meet Your Plant Familiar/Make Flying Ointment

Come join us with the 2nd Class in the Green Witchcraft series!

Dawn will be teaching us about Plant Spirit work, which will help you find and work with your Plant spirit familiar.

We will also be looking at the poison path, and the witches herbs to make a flying ointment- and then we will learn how to make some to take home!

“Flying ointment, in a historical context, was basically a salve containing a blend of fat and psychotropic herbs, which allegedly gave witches the ability hop on their brooms and fly off to their Sabbat celebrations. Keep in mind that because this concept became a popular one during the witch hunts, or so-called Burning Times, in Europe, part of the legend included the grisly idea of this ointment made from the rendered fat of murdered unbaptized infants. This, of course, was part of the fear-mongering spread with the purpose of getting people to accuse unlikeable neighbors of witchcraft.European witches in the Middle Ages were hardly the only ones taking advantage of hallucinogenic herbs during ritual. As mentioned above, the practice goes back thousands of years. Early Siberian shamans may have used herbs in their rituals, and certainly, some Native American rites have included a number of hallucinogenic herbs. Carlos Casteneda has written extensively about his experiences with hallucinogenic plants during his travels in the southwest. Flying ointment works as a hallucinogen when the herbs are placed in a salve or oil, rubbed on the body, and absorbed through the skin- Patti Wigington”
