Flying ointments, although their origins are in antiquity, come to us through the folklore of traditional European witchcraft and medieval witch trial records. They are associated with many of the most core themes of folkloric witchcraft such as the Witches’ Sabbath, diabolical pacts and flight with familiar spirits. One of the reasons that flying ointments are an important and powerful tool is not solely due to the plants they are made of. Flying ointments are transgressive. They are surrounded in taboo and have been for a long long time. From baby fat, to vaginal insertion, to being diabolical drugs flying ointments have been demonized by every angle. This transgressive quality is important because in similar ways to reciting the Lord’s Prayer backwards, having sex with the Devil and cavorting with the dead, they go against the norm…even for some witches. There is something that happens psyche-spiritually when we apply these dreaded salves and it is in that place that we can connect to the Other. It is here where we become the night hag, the succubus and the feral witch of the woods. Beyond their entheogenic properties, flying ointments tap into the “atavistic resurgence” so important to writers of traditional witchcraft. What we can take from this is that breaking taboo is a powerful magical act and many of us do this on a daily basis just by being who we are. 🧹 🌙 😈 this is my new Devil’s Ointment poured in a rosary container more info linked in bio. #witchesointment #flyingointment #flyingsalve #traditionalwitchcraft #folkwitchcraft #medievalwitchcraft #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #toxicology #banefulherbs #osculuminfame #luciferianwitchcraft #witchessabbath https://www.instagram.com/p/CisXrkjAQIK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Artemisia Ointment 🧚‍♂️ link in bio Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and Wormwood (Artemisia absinthum) are often paired together in magical practice. Mugwort is feminine and lunar, associated with divination and dreams, while wormwood is masculine and is know for its ability to banish and summon spirits. Star Anise is the third ingredient and is associated with psychic ability. This ointment can be applied for lucid dreaming, divination, channeling and all types of spirit work. Mugwort and wormwood are two herbs with entheogenic effects, which are relatively safe. This ointment was made using both infused oil and essential oils, and beeswax. 1 oz tin *mugwort should be avoided by women who are pregnant* What to expect: ointments can take 1-2 hours to fully take effects.
