In this episode of Seeking Numina: Sacred Places Podcast, Elyse Welles welcomes occult herbalist and author Coby Michael to discuss sacred plant allies, poisonous herbs, entheogens, witchcraft, and his groundbreaking new book, The Poison Path Oracle.
Together they explore the fascinating relationship between poisonous plants, sacred places, and altered states of consciousness, including the enduring mystery of whether the Oracle of Delphi used entheogenic plants during prophecy.
Coby also shares his philosophy on approaching poisonous plants with reverence rather than fear, explaining how these remarkable plant allies invite practitioners into deeper relationships with the natural world and the sacred landscapes they inhabit.
