Reseaching Witching Green ointments

Had a research day today reading about the history of the flying ointments and learnt a few really interesting facts -like the word buggery dervives from Bulgarus which means Bulgaria where a group of peoples called the Bogomils who were a religious sect that inserted hallucigenic herbs rectally.

We have been sourcing lots of info for our Halloween/Samhain workshop where we shall be making our infused oil into the notorious green ointment and looking into the myth and magic that surrounds it all......

We planted up hanbane, foxglove,hemlock, datura, mandrake and aconite but unfortunately our hectic summer tour moving around weekly killed alot of them.
Gonna try and grow some of them now under lights in the shed hehe
