Keywords: Poison Path, dark herbalism, spiritual allies, ego death.   00:36 - Coby Michael Joins the Show Coby expresses excitement for the discussion, setting the stage for a deep dive into occult herbalism.   01:22 - The Poison Path as a Mirror Coby explains how "poison" is a broad, misunderstood term, shaped by human perceptions over centuries. Poison plants reflect our shadow selves—parts we fear or deny. Key Quote: "It all comes down to dosage, circumstances, and how these plants are employed." SEO Keywords: shadow self, poison plants, occult herbalism.   03:48 - Personal Story: Shadow Work with Poison Plants Coby shares how Saturn-ruled plants (e.g., nightshades) require slow, gradual work, drawing out empowering and shameful shadow aspects. Example: Feeling drawn to their "sinister, badass" vibe revealed his own disempowerment. Takeaway: Poison plants seduce you, then force reflection. Keywords: shadow work, Saturn plants, personal transformation.   06:51 - From Physical Death to Ego Death Coby emphasizes safety: physical death is possible, but the goal is ego death—an alchemical detachment from unhelpful self-aspects. Practical Tips: Start with meditation, topical oils, or flower essences, not ingestion. Keywords: ego death, nightshades, safe plant practices.   08:53 - The Rebirth Experience Rebirth "sucks"—it's raw, stripping away cycles like vampiric relationships, leaving you to relearn life. Worth It? Yes, for genuine transformation. Key Quote: "You're a fresh little entity, navigating the world in a brand new way." Keywords: rebirth, transformation, shadow healing.   10:52 - Poison as Rebellion Coby ties poison to the Promethean archetype—stealing forbidden knowledge against patriarchal oppression. Modern Relevance: A rebellion against submissive societal norms. Keywords: Promethean archetype, poison rebellion, transgressive power.   14:43 - Balancing Balm and Bane on the Crooked Path Poison plants heal as much as they harm; balance them with tonic herbs like rose or chamomile. Challenge: Avoiding depression or malaise from lingering in darkness too long. Personal Insight: Coby's fiery natal chart led to physical depletion without self-care. Keywords: crooked path, balance, tonic herbs.   18:21 - Plant Spirit Communication (Phytonosis) Phytonosis = plant-derived knowledge via images, emotions, or voices (e.g., Belladonna's persona). How-To: Meditate with plants, study their lore, notice recurring thoughts. Keywords: phytonosis, plant spirits, spiritual communication.   20:57 - The Otherness of Poison Poison historically "others" groups (e.g., Jews, women, witches), yet grounds us in the earthly realm. Contrast: Unlike celestial psychedelics, poison plants keep you rooted. Keywords: otherness, poison history, grounding spirituality.   25:22 - Veneficium: Love Potions and Poison Venusian plants blur love and harm (e.g., ancient aphrodisiacs doubling as poisons). Lesson: Self-love trumps all; set boundaries without fear. Keywords: veneficium, love potions, self-love.   31:32 - Practical Tip for Beginners: Foxglove For relationship struggles, Foxglove offers gentle heart healing. How: Use as a flower essence or meditate with its glyph (The Poison Path Herbal). Keywords: foxglove, heart healing, beginner plant practice.   33:32 - Belladonna's Valkyrie Spirit Beyond seduction, Belladonna embodies a feral, martial energy for fighting adversity. Application: Dismantle outdated societal structures. Keywords: Belladonna, warrior spirit, systemic injustice.   36:14 - Yew Tree Self-Sacrifice Inspired by Odin's sacrifice, shed unserving life aspects (e.g., Coby's marriage, pets). Catalyst: A Belladonna-Henbane ceremony sparked his 10-year transformation. Keywords: Yew tree, self-sacrifice, shamanic death.   43:30 - Poison Path vs. Psychedelic Renaissance The psychedelic boom (e.g., Ayahuasca tourism) contrasts with the grounded Poison Path. Contribution: Offers subtle, chthonic alternatives to celestial blasts. Keywords: psychedelic renaissance, Ayahuasca, chthonic plants.   52:18 - Animism and Plant Consciousness Plants have undeniable consciousness, reshaping Coby's empathy for nature. To Skeptics: Science backs it—skepticism is outdated. Keywords: animism, plant consciousness, non-human intelligence.   53:59 - Legacy and Future of the Poison Path Legacy: Empowerment to rethink poison and integrate it personally. Future: A third book, then amplifying collective voices over the next decade. Keywords: Poison Path legacy, empowerment, future evolution.   57:36 - Closing Thoughts & Resources Jason reflects: The Poison Path confronts fear, enabling love. Coby's Website: thepoisonersapothecary.com Social: @PoisonersApothecary on Instagram Keywords: fear vs. love, Coby Michael resources.   Key Takeaways Poison Reflects the Shadow: Plants like Belladonna mirror hidden fears and strengths, pushing you toward integration. Ego Death is the Goal: Safely detach from ego, not destroy it, using gradual practices. Rebellion Fuels Transformation: Poison defies taboos, turning personal poisons into power. Balance is Essential: Pair dark plants with light tonics to avoid burnout. Plants Speak: Through phytonosis, they guide us with subtle wisdom. Grounded Alternative: Unlike the psychedelic hype, the Poison Path roots you in reality.   Resources Mentioned Books: [The Poison Path Grimoire]– Coby's latest work on dark herbalism.

Today I'm joined by author Coby Michael to chat about poison plants and their potential use within your witchcraft practice. Examining the art and science of working with noxious and malefic plants and fungi, Coby Michael discusses the occult properties of poison and how poison plants can be used in spell work and other magical operations. He looks at the plants of Fate and the divination practices they support, love magic with poison plants, shadow work, the devil's garden, and the use of nightshades as power plants for medicine and magic. Presenting a detailed formulary, he shares rituals, magical correspondences, and recipes for working with specific poison plant allies and other baneful herbs of occult herbalism.Exploring the path of dark herbalism, the author explains how it encompasses not only veneficium—poisonous plants and fungi—but all plants that humanity has tried to forget, from “invasive” plants and those we can't domesticate to those that have been regulated arbitrarily or simply feared as “toxic” or “poison.” He shows how the dark herbalist seeks out plants that are adversarial or taboo because the qualities we consider “dark” are really the plant's spiritual medicine and can offer powerful wisdom and healing. Examining poison history, lore, and occult toxicology, he explains how the aim of using these plants is not to cause physical death, but rather death of the ego. He shows how “poison” in this sense is an alchemical force that allows the practitioner to become a vessel for the forbidden fruit of knowledge and how the transmutation of our personal poisons can lead to powerful self-transformation.

On this week's episode of the show, Shaun and Court are wandering deep into the Haunted Forest, chatting all about the Poison Path!

You'd think a book called The Poison Path Herbal would lead to a somber, macabre discussion, but then you clearly wouldn't be thinking about a discussion between Gemini and Scorpio! Our intrepid hosts discuss Coby Michael's recent book with vim, vigor and lots of laughs (though there are certainly some morbid moments). Are you ready to walk down the poison path with us? 

Frater Yaramarud interviews Coby Michael, owner of thepoisonersapothecary.com and author of The Poison Path Herbal: Baneful Herbs, Medicinal Nightshades, and Ritual Entheogens. Join in as they discuss the many aspects of poisonous plants, ritual and entheogenic uses, and answer listener questions.

Author Coby Michael explains how, despite their poisonous nature, baneful herbs can become powerful plant allies, offering potent medicine, magical wisdom, and access to the spirit realm. Detailing the spiritual, alchemical, astrological, and symbolic associations of each plant, the author explores their magical uses in spells and rituals. He focuses primarily on the nightshade family, or Solanaceae, such as mandrake, henbane, and thorn apple, but also explores plants from other families such as wolfsbane, hemlock, and hellebore. He also examines plants in the witch s pharmacopoeia that are safer to work with and just as chemically active, such as wormwood, mugwort, and yarrow. The author shares rituals suited to the individual nature and powers of each plant and explains how to attract and work with plant spirit familiars. He offers plant alchemy methods for crafting spagyric tinctures and magical techniques to facilitate working with these plants as allies and teachers. He shares magical recipes featuring the plants, including a modern witches flying ointment. He also explores safely cultivating baneful herbs in a poison garden.

In this episode, I speak with Coby Michael author of "The Poison Path Herbal." Coby explains what the poison path is, and the marginalized nature of both baneful herbs and those who have traditionally worked with them. He also discusses connections with hoodoo and rootwork, different ways of working with the plants, plants as a manifestation of the spirit realm, the alchemical nature of some of the plants, and why the poison path isn't a dominant feature in Wicca despite being a part of traditional witchcraft.
