Datura is part of my much beloved Nightshade family, the Solanaceae,
and forms part of what are known as Cursing Herbs. Datura Stramonium is
also known as Jimsonweed, Thorn apple, Witch’s Thimble and Ghost Flower.
Here in South Africa they are called Malpitte (Mad seeds).
Datura Stramonium is extremely poisonous and should be handled with
care. Like its cousins, Datura is ruled by Saturn and is a veritable
Witch’s weed along with Mandrake, Belladonna and Henbane, and also
sometimes included in Flying ointments for its psychotropic effects.
