Aconite was supposedly an ingredient used by witches for magical ointments. Now onto the poisonous parts of the plant.
#WOLFSBANE USES MOVIE#
But then in the movie The Wolfman it is mentioned that moonlight and flowering wolfsbane are needed to cause the transformation from man to wolf. But unfortunately for her it didn’t work, all it did was make her sick. In the book Kitty and the Midnight Hour, the new werewolf, Kitty, tried to free herself from the curse by drinking some wolfsbane tea on the night of a full moon. It can even make a werewolf run away …or die just by the were smelling it or eating it. In many fictional tales wolfsbane is used as a werewolf repellent, protecting people from the big bad wolf. But today’s post is about the big poison, wolfsbane. For example, in the werewolf movie Ginger Snaps, a pretty simple mixture of dried monkshood can inhibit the transition from human to wolf, or even reverse it. Both wolfsbane and monkshood are related to each other (both are toxic) their significance in folklore is mixed, causing a fusing of ideas. This plant is one of hundreds in the aconite family, as is monkshood. and then fired or stabbed into the animal’s body, this toxin is fatal.
When mixed with bait and devoured by a wolf, or even put on arrowheads, knives, swords…etc. There are many ways to destroy a werewolf and the use of wolfsbane is one of those ways.Īs its name clearly shows us, this plant so isn’t wolf friendly it is a very deadly poison. Lets say you aren’t here to learn about our beloved werewolves, that you aren’t one of those that want to become a wolf you are in fact on the hunt and are looking for ways to kill these supposed beasts. This plant had been known in the werewolf world for some time.
