A question for #witch folk working with #poisonousplants : how are you using #henbane or #hycoscyamusniger - is it mostly to make flying brews or ointments or maybe for work specifically around dealing with death? or is it mostly #medicinal uses like for toothaches or asthma, or something completely different?
