The Poison Path Oracle | A Practical Guide Book | Coby Michael
By: Coby Michael (Author) About the Book
Poisonous plants have guided oracles, seers, and shamans toward the spirit world since antiquity, and in The Poison Path Oracle, occult herbalist Coby Michael brings that ancient practice into the hands of the modern diviner. Drawing on plant allies such as the nightshade family, foxglove, and fly agaric, Michael shows how these entheogenic plants can open the door to altered states of consciousness, helping readers connect with the dead, the divine, and the unseen forces that shape a reading. Woven throughout is a wealth of history, correspondence, and hands-on practice, linking the poison path to established divinatory tools like tarot, runes, dreamwork, and scrying — the third volume in Michael's respected Poison Path series, and a natural next step for anyone who has already walked its earlier paths. What's Inside
- Chapter 1: Divination in the ancient world, tracing the historical and archaeological use of entheogenic plants by oracles, seers, and shamans
- Chapter 2: How to channel plant spirits for divination, including correspondences between nightshade-family plants, tarot cards, and runes
- Chapter 3: Techniques for connecting with ancestor spirits, familiar and tutelary spirits, and underworld deities through plant allies
- Chapter 4: The occult nature of psychic poisons, and how to work safely with these energies during divination and trance work
- Chapter 5: Spirit communication and trance work with the plants of the poison path, including the author's own personal experiences
- Chapter 6: Formulas and practices for meditation, ceremony, spirit work, plant spirit journeying, and consecrating divinatory tools Who It's For
A practical guide for diviners, psychics, mediums, and practitioners of plant magic who want to deepen their divination practice through poison plant allies. Suited to readers already familiar with tarot, runes, or other divinatory tools who are curious to explore a less conventional, plant-based path, as well as anyone continuing on from Michael's earlier Poison Path books.
