Poison plants have been used by oracles, seers, and shamans to reach out to the spirit world for insight and guidance since antiquity. In this practical guide, Coby Michael demonstrates how the timeless wisdom of the poison path benefits modern practitioners of divination.

Michael explores the divinatory ritual use of baneful plants and fungi, profiling important poisonous plant emissaries that appear throughout history, such as the nightshade family, foxglove, and fly agaric. He shows how these entheogenic plants can help us access altered states of consciousness to communicate with the dead and the divine and how plant spirit medicine can be combined with trancework for profound results.

Michael also links the poison path to other divinatory methods, including dream work, scrying, cartomancy, and runes. He shares exercises for underworld journeying as well as specific plant formulas and practices for meditation, channeling, ceremony, and connecting directly with plant allies, showing how to safely and effectively incorporate poison plants into your divination practice for better guidance and a stronger connection to the spirit world.
