Poison Plants & Baneful Medicines

Poisonous plants are sometimes regarded as dangerous, mysterious or even sinister, but they have a long tradition of providing protection and support during difficult times. Enter the world of poisons & baneful medicines with Nicholas Pearson in this livestream workshop.

Many poison plants have a long history of use in herbalism, magic and alchemy, which are brought together in their role as essences. When made into flower essences, baneful herbs like nightshade, henbane and other poison plants are effective tools for treating shock and trauma. Essences also offer one of the safest means of working with toxic plants, as they contain only the energetic imprint of the flowers.

Poisonous plant essences catalyse deep healing, as they are able to embrace and transform our deepest-held patterns. Dr Bach's star-of-Bethlehem is the perfect example of an otherwise toxic plant whose essence is celebrated for it's healing powers around the world today. The baneful medicine of poison plant essences bolsters psychic and social defences for sensitive people, releases deeply rooted beliefs, and combats our most toxic thoughts through the principle of 'fighting fire with fire.'

• Discuss hands-on methods for working with flower essences for healing and magic
• Discover the healing qualities of essences made from baneful plants
• Explore the connections between folklore, magical correspondences and the healing virtues of baneful essences
