Origin & Lore

Deadly nightshade, Atropa belladonna, is one of the most notorious plants in European witch lore, associated with flying ointments and baneful work. This oil uses it for banishing, sending away people, situations and even qualities like struggle or insecurity.

Deadly nightshade’s botanical name, Atropa, comes from Atropos, the Fate who cuts the thread of life.

The species name belladonna, beautiful lady, is often said to come from Renaissance Italian women using the plant’s juice to dilate their pupils.

Nightshade appears in early modern accounts of witches’ flying ointments.
