Uses
Belladonna belongs primarily to historical and symbolic study of shadow work, banishing, trance lore, astral themes, and veil-crossing. Because the plant is extremely toxic, its place in a modern Codex is best treated as historical reference rather than a hands-on herb.
In Practice
Use the name, image, written petition, or a clearly labeled non-botanical substitute in symbolic shadow or banishing work. Do not ingest, burn, infuse, apply, or otherwise handle belladonna as a casual ritual ingredient; keep the living or dried plant out of ordinary practice.
Cautionary Notes
DANGER: EXTREMELY TOXIC & DEADLY IF INGESTED OR ABSORBED IMPROPERLY. Included for historical reference only. DO NOT CONSUME.
