Overview

A large number of poisonous plants have beneficial uses in both domestic medicine and magic. Needless to say, when utilising a toxic plant in magic, we are adding certain extra deadly or potent energies into the mix and it is inadvisable to start messing about with deadly poisons unless we’ve made a thorough study of the subject - and not just by glancing at a paragraph in a book on herbal preparations!

The dark side of me loves reading about poisons and I suspect I'm not alone in this... Draco's book is a very good introduction to the ancient arte and history of poisons which goes back certainly beyond 4,500 years and probably throughout human history. I like Draco's writing style which is both authoritative and accessible; I feel as if she's talking with me over a cup of tea and I really like that... Altogether an excellent little book. Thoroughly recommended--Elen Sentier I loved Pagan Portals - By Wolfsbane & Mandrake Root! This one was a natural draw! I've always found poison usage interesting from a historical standpoint. It seems so many well known figures in history used poison to get rid of folks who stood in their way! And of course witches were often blamed for using poisons (herb women get blamed for everything!)when some died. Unfair. or maybe not. Doesn't matter, Draco writes a wonderfully informative book on the subject and one I enjoyed reading! I can think of a few people who will appreciate this as a gift--catherine hankins Netgalley
