Atropa belladonna, beautiful woman - she is the embodiment of the dark goddess in the realm of plants. She serves as a bridge between the world of the living and the otherworld. If the oak is the king of light, masculine, powerful, enduring, and just, then the deadly nightshade is its exact opposite, perhaps the most feminine of all native plants, unfathomable, turned away from the light, seductively beautiful, deeply attuned to her soul's feelings. There is a great longing to return to the protection of the great, eternal, dark mother, to immerse oneself in the violet light of transcendence. For the author, the deadly nightshade is the most powerful of all magical plants from the realm of the shadows of night. Approaching her essence requires experience and maturity. She is completely unsuitable for the drug seekers of a superficial, technified pleasure society. However, for the true seeker, she can once again show the way.
