Witch’s Flyte Balm

Witch’s Flyte Balm is a modern, safe nod to the old flying ointments of the craft. Historically these ointments were thick, heavy blends of animal fat and powerful but somewhat deadly herbs like belladonna, henbane, datura and mandrake. They were rubbed over the body, sending the witch into an altered trippy state. But these old recipes were dangerous and many of the plants used could kill a person long before they ever “flew.”

This balm honours the idea of those older workings without risking your health. It carries the intention, the softness and the dreamy edge, but relies only on safe herbs that support trance, dream work and gentle shift of awareness. The herbs are infused into coconut, jojoba, sunflower and apricot seed oils, then set into a beeswax base that melts slowly on the skin. It gives you the feeling of stepping into the old ways while staying firmly on the safe side of modern herbal craft.

How to use
Warm a tiny amount between your fingers and apply to pulse points, just below your temples, the third eye, the crown of the head or over the chest before sleep or ritual. It is not made for all-over use. A little is enough to help you settle into dream work, meditation, hedge-crossing, scrying or any quiet state where you want to slip out of the everyday and into the in-between.
