"This book is an absolute must-have for anyone who works with plant allies. It's packed with history, insight, and hands-on ways to divine with the green spirits themselves. Coby doesn't just teach the poison path, he walks it, and this book shows exactly why he's the authority on it." * Eron Mazza, author of The Living Lenormand * "Coby Michael once again invites us onto the poison path, grounding his wisdom in the ancient traditions of oracles, seers, and shamans. The Poison Path Oracle reminds us that, though perilous, these plants are steadfast allies for dreamwork, divination, and journeying, guiding us into deeper communion with the earth and spirit. As a native Greek priestess reviving our oracle traditions, I'll be recommending this invaluable resource to students exploring the mysteries of baneful plant medicine for trance, healing, and connection." * Elyse Welles, author of Sacred Wild * "The Poison Path Oracle is an in-depth dialogue between mystical plants and the seer. Coby Michael expertly guides the diviner along the poison path, offering insight, history, methods, and grounded examples as he navigates both the blossoms and shadows of the botanical realm. His instruction reads like a personal invitation to tune in to the plants themselves, to heed their messages. As a seer myself, I cannot wait to embrace these plant spirits in my own practice and offer wisdom and insight to querents. This is a much-needed guide in the magical world and a welcome addition to Coby's Poison Path series." * Rissa Miller, herbalist and creator of Tea & Smoke * "Nothing brings me more joy than singing the accolades of Coby Michael and his newest work! The Poison Path Oracle reveals a new depth in the relationship between practitioners and the world of baneful herbs. Coby not only teaches readers how these beautiful plant spirits have assisted people all over the world in their divinatory practices for centuries, but he also brings these practices to contemporary diviners with a modern perspective. If you are a psychic, medium, or diviner of any type looking to strengthen your practices, look no further than The Poison Path Oracle!" * Anthony Lightz, psychic medium * "Coby Michael has outdone himself with this one! The Poison Path Oracle is a great companion for those who enjoy the art of divination, as it focuses on enhancing our ability to connect with the spiritual realms by allowing plant allies to support our practice. A favorite of mine is the Energetic Diagnosis with Datura Seeds: efficient, simple, and fun! The associations between tarot archetypes and the plants of the poisonous garden add an extra layer of depth to his very thorough work. Absolutely stunning!" * Debora Greer, author of Storms, Spirits and Radical Independence * "In this third book in his Poison Path series, Coby Michael grants us a comprehensive and very interesting view of a staple of the path of poison: communicating with the spirits of these powerful plants. The link he establishes between each tarot card to a specific poisonous plant is as brilliant as it is unexpected. I love that he incorporated scientific information and warnings, which is, to me, indispensable knowledge to have when you tread on the poison path." * Laurie Bianciotto, author of La voie du poison * "Few walk this delicate path with such integrity and insight as Coby Michael. His writing reveals a profound relationship with poison plants, one rooted in spirit, history, and the magick birthed within liminal spaces." * Leandra Witchwood, witch and author of From the Witch's Shadow * "This work holds keys forged through lived experience, sacred relationship, and extensive study. Coby unfolds, with luminous clarity, the essentials for a reverent practice alongside the sinister ones of the Poison Path and the green sages who master the art of gazing beyond the lines of time. A complete guide that steadies the frightened and unveils the hidden, it is a journey companion in the sinuous path toward the emerald mystery." * Vrylak Faemana, author of Recetario de la Bruja Verde *
