Belladonna (Atropa belladonna)

Folk Names: Banewort, Black Cherry, Deadly Nightshade, Death's Herb, Dwale, Witch's Berry

**Not to be taken internally**

Uses:
Today belladonna is little-used in herb magic due to its high toxicity-all parts of the plant are extremely poisonous and there are still reports of death resulting from accidental ingestion of nightshade.

In the past, it was used to encourage astral protection and to produce visions, but safer alternatives are available today and belladonna is best avoided.
