HELPS the poor werewolves.

Hi Rita and all! 
Been too busy with papers and clients again to have time enough to do more 
than skim--some great threads lately!  It's named WolfsBANE because it's a 
bane to the wolf in Lupin, helps Lupin's non-wolf/ human mind remain and 
subdues the powerful snarly wolfie monster-mind,  tho not the fuzzy four 
footed toothy wolfie bod. 

Aconite/Monkshood/Wolfsbane in its raw or concentrated form probably IS 
poisonous to werewolves, certainly so to humans, too.  But aconite potentized 
is used in homeopathy to help with burning pains, chills, anxiety and 
restless and  THE SPIRIT MEDICINE of aconite is deeply protective, calming 
and centering, (It's a research remedy at the Flower Essence Society, where I 
studied this summer)  I suspect it would be an ingredient in the Wolfsbane 
Potion. I gained a great degree of respect for Monkshood, having observed it 
growing, handling it live, and making mother stock for potions with it. 
(Technically they were called remedies, but pure and simply magically, we 
learned POTIONS!!!).
