Solanaceae: The Forgotten Medicine of Europe
Rediscover the nearly forgotten family of solanaceae plants used by ancient Europeans as powerful medicines and potent ritual entheogens. Belladonna, Datura, Henbane, and Mandrake; unknown to some and feared by others, these plants conjure images of poisoning, death, flying ointments, witches’ sabbaths, and the dark spells of ancient sorceresses like Circe and Medea. In this workshop we will dispel the myths and negative propaganda surrounding these plants so we, as herbalists, can move past the fear and into working with these beneficial allies.
Many do not know how to safely work with these poisonous plants as little research has been done on their use in herbal medicine. It is my goal to remedy this by sharing the years of research and experience I have accumulated in working with these plants; growing them, harvesting them, preparing them, and using those herbal preparations for medicine, trance work, and ritual.
