The Poison Path, first coined by mystic plant man Dale Pendell, is a path of wortcunning that requires knowledge and respect for some of the more dangerous plants in our pantheons.

Plants like poke, mayapple and sassafras await us to show us that what can kill can also cure.

Today there are many hard conversations about the sustainable use of White Sage and other threatened sacred plants used by indigenous peoples in North America (and globally). There are plants that people of non-indigenous ancestry can happily use for the purpose that White Sage has come to occupy and also to combat the destruction of sacred plant populations and the continuous disregard for the needs of indigenous peoples and their cultural and religious life.
