The Witches' Ointment

In the medieval period preparations with hallucinogenic herbs were part of folk remedies but the Church transformed these practices, specifically entheogenic ones, into satanic experiences creating the classical “witch” stereotype and what history has called the “witches’ ointment.” This book presents dozens of these psychoactive formulas and recipes gleaned from rare manuscripts in university collections from all over the world including spells, love potions, and herbal preparations.
