Send us a text

Our guest for this episode is author and herbalist Coby Michael. Coby is the author of "The Poison Path: Baneful Herbs, Medicinal Nightshades, and Ritual Entheogens." During the episode we discuss the possibilities of magic and healing with plant allies in the Nightshade family, the links between fears of poison and the power of magical practices, and I greatly appreciated our conversation about these important, challenging topics.

Please note that in this episode, we discuss many dangerous, potentially toxic, even deadly plants. No one should interact with these plants or substances made from them without consulting a doctor or licensed physician, and nothing contained in this show constitutes medical advice or should be taken in the place of that advice. Please research these matters very carefully, and do not ingest or put things on your skin or in your lungs unless you have professional guidance and care. Neither myself nor anyone associated with this podcast is responsible for any adverse effects that come from using information from this episode.

With that in mind, enjoy the episode!
