Betwixt & Between Shapeshifting Ointment
Betwixt & Between Shapeshifting Ointment
2 oz Tin
The infamous witches’ herb Mandragora officinarum or European Mandrake is the star of this blend (not to be confused with Podophyllum peltatum or Mayapple which has come to be called American Mandrake). Ancient tales of Mandrake appear abundantly in European folklore for its magickal and medicinal properties. It is notably a primary herb found in flying ointment recipes of the Middle Ages through to the Early Modern Period and is often blamed for the intoxicating rapture and debauchery occurring on nights of the witches’ sabbats.
Among its many attributes for the body, magickal mandrake root has been used for hundreds of years as a potent relief to chronic and acute nerve, joint, and muscle pain, as well as tending sleep issues. It is long known for its aphrodisiac properties and is held in high regard for its euphoric, pleasant, and happy effects on ones mind, mood, and energy.
In modern folk magick practices, mandrake can be used for shapeshifting, transformation, ecstatic rituals, visions & divination, sex magick, protection, and purification.
Mandragora is extremely difficult to grow so this is a limited run and once this stock is gone, its gone.

Instructions
Ointments have been used in folk magick and witchcraft for centuries and many ancient cultures believed that using ointments aligned us with divinity. To use for magick and ritual, try applying 1/4 tsp of ointment on your body and allow up to 2 hours for the effects to fully take hold. Please always do a small patch test first to rule out adverse reactions.
