The Poison Garden of the Mighty Dead

Join author Christopher Penczak on a journey into the mysterious gardens where the spirits of the dead commune with the living in an intoxicating dance. The Mighty Dead are the enlightened ancestors of Witchcraft, those who have walked the path before us and lead the way. They are teachers, healers, guides and masters dancing at the eternal sabbat found in dream, myth and vision. There they tend the garden of plant spirit familiars, the poisonous plants that teach us the mysteries of life and rebirth. They are the classic plants of the Witch's Flying Ointment—Belladonna, Datura, Henbane, Hellabore, Hemlock, Monkshood and Mandrake. These plant spirits initiate us in the ways of Witchcraft, and to fly forth in vision to and from the sabbat grove. Listen to teachings on the Mighty Dead and these plant allies, and experience a guided vision ritual to the sabbat grove to meet these spirits for yourself. Drawn from the books The Plant Spirit Familiar (2012) and The Mighty Dead (2013).
