In the light of cur­rent events, ie. a case of a Span­ish actor who was charged for acci­den­tal­ly killing a man with toad ven­om dur­ing an alleged shaman­ic rit­u­al, we now feel the need to talk about the ele­phant in the room once again: appro­pri­a­tion in spir­i­tu­al­i­ty and eso­teri­cism. We talked about it when deal­ing… Con­tin­ue Reading →

Ya hablam­os de ello hace años cuan­do… Con­tin­ue Reading →

In all hon­esty, it has been real­ly hard to write this post: it has tak­en us more than 2 years. We have nev­er been real­ly fond of read­ing lists, and thus we expect this arti­cle will not be seen like that. We have received lots of enquiries regard­ing rec­om­mend­ed books in herbal­ism and the Poi­son Path… Con­tin­ue Reading →

Today we received six har­vest­ing knives won­der­ful­ly envi­sioned and hand craft­ed by Cody Dick­er­son from Bore­alis Iron­works (you can find his fan­tas­tic Etsy shop in here), which will inte­grate the upcom­ing Har­vester Sets (com­posed of a harvest/gathering knife and an oil to anoint the blade before the har­vest­ing rit­u­al). They are per­fect sized (portable and… Con­tin­ue Reading →

In this occa­sion we want to share with you anoth­er series reflec­tion on Met­zine­r­ia or the Path of Poi­sons, focus­ing on a recur­ring ques­tion: how should one get intoxicated/poisoned? We have received some doubts on what are the best sub­stances to start exper­i­ment­ing with poi­sons, how to approach them, appro­pri­ate dosages, etc. Allow us to be a… Con­tin­ue Reading →

It’s usu­al to receive con­cerned ques­tions on the top­ic of the poten­tial dan­ger of Poi­sons, and the threat of addic­tion in the Poi­son Path. Addic­tion, as we know it, is the inabil­i­ty to con­trol the need for a sub­stance, thus cre­at­ing a sen­sa­tion of lack or pain in the body. This sit­u­a­tion seems to be scary to prac­ti­tion­ers of… Con­tin­ue Reading →
