Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger)
Henbane is a psychoactive poison used by Witches to talk to the dead.
Nicknames: Black Nightshade[9]; Devil's Eye[9]; Insane Root[9]; Stinking Nightshade[9];
The Name: Henbane Henbane; Let's break the name down into two parts: Hen, and Bane. The word "bane" is often recurring in the plant kingdom. There's plenty of other bane's out there including: Dogbane, Henbane, Baneberry, Wolfs Bane, Fleabane, Woman's Bane, etc(the list goes on). According to dictionary.com, Bane means: "a person or thing that ruins or spoils: Gambling was the bane of his existence. a deadly poison (often used in combination, as in the names of poisonous plants)"(via: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/bane) According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary: "'killer, agent of death, death,' going back to Old English bana 'killer, agent of death,' going back to Germanic *banan- (whence also Old Frisian bana, bona 'killer,' Old High German bano 'killer, murderer,' Old Norse bani 'murderer, violent death'), of uncertain origin."(Via: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bane) Let's move on to the next part of the name, which is "hen", because we started with "bane". Hen means, according to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary: "1. a : a female chicken especially over a year old broadly : a female bird b : the female of various mostly aquatic animals (such as lobsters or fish)"(Via: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hen) So the name basically translates to "female bird killer", or something along those lines. You can tell a lot about a plant by its name, if you're familiar with these meanings and such.
Ethnobotany: What is Ethnobotany? According to Stetson University, Ethnobotany is defined as: "The study of the practical uses of plants within a particular region or culture, focusing on traditional knowledge and customs regarding medicinal, religious, and other applications."(Via: Stetson.EDU) Ethnobotany has major biblical, cultural, and industrial implications. It's a pre-requisit to phytochemistry, as the two fields of study are closely related to one another and co-dependent. Now that we have that out of the way, let's delve into the ethnobotany of Henbane. In ancient Greece, Henbane was considered a sacred "plant of Apollo."[6] In case you're wondering, in Greek culture, Apollo was the twin brother of Artemis and the child of Zeus and the Titan, Leto.[11] In Greek culture, Apollo was the god of music, prophesy, medicine, archery.[11] Pagans and witches associate certain plants(ethnobotanicals) with astrological phenomena, and even certain gods.[8][9][10] O.G. Observations: When learning about these ethnobotanicals, I notice a lot of Greek themes. The occult likewise seems to have an obsession with ancient Greek culture and symbolism, it's just something I noticed. "Hyoscyamus, the henbane, is one of the drugs of the ancients. Initially used both as a poison and narcotic, it was widely adopted by witches, wizards and soothsayers as a component of their hallucinatory and flying ointments."[12] Learning how to visually identify these plants can help you spot a witch in no time. Pay attention to what people have growing in their yard."Henbane was also used by notorious poisoners such as Madame Voisin in France. "[12] In heathen circles, Henbane is associated with death, the otherworld, and spirits.[9] It's placed on pagan altars during Samhain, a pagan festival celebrating the time of year when “the summer goes to rest”.[9][15] Henbane is mentioned in the Anglo-Saxson works on medicine written in the 11th century and in the Arabian Nights.[3] Albertus Magnus reported in his word De Vegetalibus (1250), that necromancers used Henbane to invoke the souls of the dead as well as demons."[17] Necromancy is the occult art of talking to the supposed dead, and is warned against in Deuteronomy 18.[18] According to the Witchipedia: "Although every single part of henbane is toxic, it does have some healing properties and is an ingredient in some of your more classic magickal brews so it is a staple in many a witch's garden. It is used to communicate with the dead and other spirits and for binding spells. Henbane is said to be another favorite of the faeries. Symptoms of henbane toxicity include hallucinations (particularly the sensation of flight), restlessness, dilated pupils and a flushed appearance."[24] Various strains of Henbane have been documented to have been used ancient civilizations and cultures, such as the Sumerian, Tibetan, European, Arab-Muslim cultures.[30]
Warnings/Dangers: Henbane is deadly, is NOT a psychedelic, and leads to states of confusion, forgetfulness, and insanity, and death. It also attracts familiar spirits and is tied to the occult, which will surely snare you. "Hallucinations are predominant in the middle dose range, which explains the drugs' earlier utilization for religious and prophetic purposes. Respiratory depression and arrest at high doses confirm the use of scopolamine as a lethal poison."[16] I have to call out the academic source for using the words "prophetic purposes", as Henbane is not used for prophecy, rather for divination. Prophecy comes from God by the will of God, and divination comes from the enemy by occult practices. "This plant is hallucinogenic that includes anticholinergic compounds. Direct ingestion of this plant can cause psychophysical deterioration and even it causes death. The intoxication is similar to the one caused by atropine. This plant causes hypertension, irregular heartbeat, restlessness, vomiting, and unconsciousness are some of the symptoms that may appear."[22]
Gardeners Tip: "Nitrogen has been found to increase the content of alkaloids in some of the medicinal plants."[25] Studies were conducted to determine if soil quality has any role in phytochemical percentages of the final harvest. "The results showed that the effects of bio-fertilizers, conventional nitrogen fertilizer, and nitrogen nano-chelate fertilizer were significant on the scopolamine and hyoscyamine content in black henbane at the level of 1%.[25] "Generally, the highest yield of alkaloids content in black henbane were obtained by application of 3 and 5% nitrogen nano-chelate fertilizers."[25] These same basic findings apply to more plants than just Henbane by the way.
Classification: Deliriant[19]; Psychoactive poison[19]; Deadly hallucinogen; Confusant;(quoted from Terrence Mckenna) Mind control drug[20]; Truth serum[21]; Witches tool[16]; Henbane is NOT a psychedelic.
Native Habitat: Henbane is native to Europe, where it was used by European witches, the most diabolical kind of witches, in my opinion. According to the USDA: "Yellow or white henbane has long been used in southern and central Europe."[6] Montana State University tells us that: "Black henbane is native to Europe and northern Africa where it was cultivated for its medicinal qualities."[7]
Henbane Strains: There are many varieties of Henbane, and they're native to different regions. Other strains include: Hyoscyamus afghanicus – Afghanistan, Hyoscyamus albus(White henbane) – Spain and Morocco, Hyoscyamus arachnoideus – northern Iraq and Western Iran, Hyoscyamus aureus(Golden henbane) – Eastern Mediterranean (Greece to Egypt) and Iraq, Hyoscyamus bornmuelleri Khat. – southern Iran, Hyoscyamus boveanus – Egypt and Sinai, Hyoscyamus coelesyriacus – Lebanon, Hyoscyamus desertorum – Syria to Egypt and northeastern Saudi Arabia, Hyoscyamus flaccidus – Oman and Yemen, Hyoscyamus gallagheri – Oman, Hyoscyamus grandiflorus – northern Somalia, Hyoscyamus insanus – eastern Arabian Peninsula to Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Himalayas, Hyoscyamus kotschyanus – western and southwestern Iran, Hyoscyamus kurdicus – northern Iraq to Iran, Hyoscyamus leptocalyx – southeastern Turkey to western Iran, Hyoscyamus leucanthera – Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan, Hyoscyamus longipedunculatus – northern Iraq, Hyoscyamus malekianus – southern Iran, Hyoscyamus multicaulis – central Afghanistan, Hyoscyamus muticus – Egyptian henbane – northern Africa (Sahara), Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Pakistan, and India, Hyoscyamus niger(Black henbane) – temperate Eurasia and north Africa , Hyoscyamus nutans – Iran, Hyoscyamus orthocarpus – western and southern Iran, Hyoscyamus pojarkovae – Syria, Iraq, and Iran, Hyoscyamus pusillus – Western and Central Asia to Tibet and Mongolia, Hyoscyamus reticulatus – Turkey to Sinai and Tajikistan, Hyoscyamus rosularis – central Iran, Hyoscyamus senecionis – northern Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, Hyoscyamus squarrosus – Iran, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, Hyoscyamus tenuicaulis – western and southern Iran, Hyoscyamus tibesticus – Chad (Tibesti Mountains)

Annual, Biennial, Or Perennial? Henbane is annual or biennial[3];
What is Phytochemistry? It has everything to do with the Henbane plant that's being discussed on this blog. Phytochemistry is defined as: "Phytochemistry is the study of the chemistry of substances found in plants."(Via: https://ibs.upm.edu.my/content/phytochemistry-34443) See also: https://phytochem.nal.usda.gov/ Here's a quote from a book that pretty much illustrates that the modern academic field of phytochemistry is nothing more than an evolved version of ancient occult plant alchemy: "The Poison Path, as it has become known, is a branch of occult herbalism combined with entheogenic ritual practice, phytochemistry, and magic."[13]
Phytochemicals: What are Phytochemicals? Phytochemicals are miraculous drugs and medicines produced by plants(ethnobotanicals).[1][2][3][4] They are studied in the laboratory for their complex medicinal properties.[1][2][3][4] If you're still confused about what a phytochemical is, please see my blog titled: difference-between-research-chemicals-and-phytochemicals.html Now that we've got those definitions out of the way, let's discuss some of the phytochemicals produced by Henbane. For those crazy enough to use it, the leaves are harvested when the plant is in full flower(for optimal potency).[3]
Phytochemicals In Henbane: Henbane produces: scopolamine(0.05-0.15%)[3], atropine, hyoscyamine(less than 0.04%)[3] "The Solanaceae alkaloids, atropine and scopolamine(hyoscine), were the active substances in ointment of witches and medieval anesthetics, and in modern poisons."[16] Lignans, withanolides, flavonoids, saponins and coomariono lignans are also produced by Henbane.[22] "These valuable natural compounds are widely used in modern medicinal preparations as well as pharmaceutical industries in India and around the world."[26]
Egyptian Henbane Is More Potent: Egyptian Henbane yields around 1.5% of total alkaloid, mostly hyoscyamine.[3] Compare that to the less than 0.04% found in the H. niger. species.[3]
Potency Varies Across Species: One study set out to determine the variations in potency among different species, heights, and other factors. "Studied populations were significantly varied according to the all measured traits. The highest leaf dry weight, stem, shoot, whole plant and the number of leaf per plant was related to Guilan population. However, the highest (61.29 cm) and the lowest (16.96 cm) plant height, and maximum (16.13) and minimum (5.75) number of lateral branches were observed in Zanjan and Qom populations, respectively. The hyoscyamine content was varied ranging from 0.1888 g/plant (in Zanjan population) to 0.916 g/plant (in Qom population) with average of 0.5 g/plant. The maximum and minimum ratio of scopolamine to hyoscyamine was obtained in Zanjan (1.80) and Qom (0.049) populations, respectively. Moreover, there was a significant and negative correlation (-0.50**) between hyoscyamine content and plant height."[23] For those of you who are not familiar with Zanjan, it is a city in Iran.(Via: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanjan,_Iran
Random O.G. Observation: I noticed that all the various strains of Henbane seem to be native to areas of the world which belong to Mesopotamia, which is where the biblical days are traced back to. This to me is further evidence that scopolamine producing plants such as henbane were the trees of the knowledge of good and evil from the book of Genesis. It's for sure plural(trees) too because there's more than one, and in Hebrew sometimes a plural and a singular are the same word.
Pharmacological / Medicinal Properties: This plant is used as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-diabetic and antidote against mushroom poison.[22] According to another academic source: "This plant is very rich in tropane alkaloids (hyoscyamine, scopolamine, and atropine) with diverse biological activities such as: antispasmodic, anticholinergic, analgesic, psychoactive, hallucinogenic, sedative, anticonvulsant, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic properties. Scopolamine is the most important psychoactive chemical produced by the plant, due to its effect on the central nervous system and its more intense hallucinogenic properties."[30] Don't be misled by these properties though, because: these findings are in relation to isolated phytochemicals extracted out of Henbane that were tested in specific dosages. This means that despite the fact that these can be used for good(as medicine), the plant is still highly toxic, and its antioxidant properties won't matter when you're dead. A lot of highly toxic plants have chemicals in them that can be used as medicine, but that doesn't make the plant as a whole safe.[2][4] Even drugs like scopolamine that are used in hospitals, must be administered in very specific, extremely low controlled dosages just to not kill the patient, or cause violent hallucinations and loss of memory.[31] "Data on the toxic dose of scopolamine in the tablet form is scattered. Reports exist that 10 mg a day can be lethal for children."[31]
Conclusions Based On Facts & Evidence: What we can see is that Henbane, and scopolamine, and all that both the plant and drug relates to, is connected to modern medical(hospitals/drug companies/pharmaceuticals), the occult, murder, and other forms of darkness. Please keep those proven facts in mind, as you read further, and check my sources some more. I believe that neo nazi groups, and other occult gangs(like the freemasons[32]/satanic temple) are using scopoalmine to drug Christians and Jews in medical, and frame them as mental patients, as well as euthanize them while marking their death as "covid19". Evidence? Nazi's were into medical genocide in WWII.[33][34][35][36] My elderly Christian grandma was drugged(See THIS NEWS STORY!), framed as a mental patient, and killed(I believe murdered) in medical(in October 2019!)[She was cremated too by a mysterious decider!], and I believe scopolamine was used to euthanize her, and to make her appear "mentally ill" in order for those occult nazi/freemason sickos to exploit a wierd law and force her and other victims into a medical facility against her/their will. I expose that on: 850.NEWS Here is a direct quote from the History Channel's website(History.com) to show you that I'm serious: "In 1939, Dr. Viktor Brack, head of Hitler’s Euthanasia Department, oversaw the creation of the T.4 program, which began as the systematic killing of children deemed “mentally defective.” Children were transported from all over Germany to a Special Psychiatric Youth Department and killed."[37] (Via: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/august-24/hitler-suspends-euthanasia-program I finally found some facts I wanted to discuss here from another blog post I made. Here is a screenshot to show that Odin(a false Germanic pagan god tied to Nazi's) is tied to sorcery(drugs): here's that screenshot of the Odin Brotherhood's YouTube. Sorcery is the administration of drugs, medicines, and poisons in connection with idolatry, and the Odin cults are into poisons and drug warfare.[38] Sorcery or "pharmakeia", is drug use dedicated to other gods, false gods. Revelation 18:23 "For by their sorceries(poisonings/manipulations/witchcraft) were all nations deceived." In the book "Science of the Magical: From the Holy Grail to Love Potions to Superpowers", it mentions Odin and the occult practices that these occult gangs use, including the use of poisons.[38] The book details how these cults utilize Datura(AN ETHNOBOTANICAL), a member of the deadly nightshade family that produces the poisons scopolamine,hyoscyamine, and atropine.[38] Here are two other blogs exposing related cults: exposing-the-odin-brotherhood-a-nazi-sorcery-cult.html, exposing-skull-and-bones-a-nazi-secret-society.html These two cults are in the NW Florida Panhandle, Near the Seymour TN, and in the North Carolina area, and are believed to be two sides of the same coin. They're connected to Elohim city Oklahoma and based on authoritative sources have infiltrated the DEA, ATF, FBI, and even police department it would seem. I share evidence on 850.NEWS that they're in the SRCSO as well. Here is a photo of a real Witch from Seymour TN who is in their satanic temple/skull and bones/odin cult as proof: keri-franklin-the-witch-skull-and-bones-seymour-tn.jpg I digress.
Observed Properties: Based on what we can observe from the documentary embedded below ("Sacred Weeds"), we can observe that the drug: makes people drowsy, puts them in a sleepy stupor state, induces sensations of flying(with details and vivid reports)[described as "smooth", "like soaring in a hot air baloon looking down"], it increases body temperature, prevents sweating, induces dry mouth, and interferes with memory, as well as impairs bodily senses(makes one feel as though they are falling or flying). Users also report it to be more enjoyable while laying down(It's not the type of drug one uses while moving, driving, riding a bike, or going for a walk, but rather while lying down). These reports are from individuals fortunate enough to not die during their experience. I find, like the Shamans, Native Americans, and other indigenous cultures have also found, that observation is the best way to learn about these drugs and medicines, rather than waiting for modern scientist to give you the okay to believe what you see.
Henbane is used by pharmaceutical companies: That's right! The deadly plant that causes violent and hellish hallucinations while robbing its victim of free will is used by drug companies to make "medicine" with![27][28] Not only is it used by Witches to talk to the dead[17], but it is also used by drug companies to extract scopolamine[27], a deadly mind control drug[28] used in hospitals across the globe as a "medicine" for "motion sickness" and other things..[27][29] Scopolamine, the deadly drug found in Henbane, is also found in over-the-counter eye drops, and can be legally purchased online in many forms: Google search for "buy eye drops ingredients scopolamine"
Antidote: Large doses of Echinacea purpurea administered quickly enough; Jesus Christ;
O.G. Observations: Witches are diabolical. Check me out on Instagram. I did a song called "Smack the witch with ya jew C***"
Other ethnobotanicals that produce the same chemicals(scopolamine,atropine,hyoscyamine): Dubosia, Atropa-BellaDonna, Datura, Mandrake, Solanum hypomalacophyllum, Solanum dulcamara(Bittersweet Nightshade), Chilean Holly (Desfontainia spinosa), Sorcerer's Tree(Latua pubiflora), Serpentine wood(Rauvolfia serpentina), Henbane bell(Scopolia carniolica), Hyoscyamus muticus(Egyptian Henbane). | [ Don't forget to check out my other blog that is an evolving list of plants that produce scopolamine!: list-of-scopolamine-producing-plants.html ]
Sacred Weeds: Below is a cool televised documentary series called "Sacred Weeds". This is the episode they did on Henbane. I thought I would embed it below. Enjoy. =)
