It was a mixture of extremely poisonous ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drug produced an ecstatic trance with powerful sensations of flying, images of otherworldly creatures and a primal sexual hunger. These hallucinations are at the core of the mythology of witches, where they fly to the sabbath at Blåkulla or Brocken to do it with the devil and other witches in unholy rites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, the image of witches flying can be traced back to the use of hexensalbe, but why on a broomstick? The ointment was so poisonous that eating it would be directly fatal, instead it was applied to other soft membranes of the body, armpits and more commonly the genitals. Because of the erotic effects of the high, the salve would often be rubbed directly onto a phallic object like the end of a staff or a broomstick. And so, the witch did not ride the broomstick like we picture her today. She actually -really- rode it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven which aspects of the story of hexensalbe has survived into the modern image of witches, and what has been suppressed, it would seem that the one thing more terrifying than witches or devils, is female sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-excerpt\" data-content-field=\"excerpt\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-excerpt\" data-content-field=\"excerpt\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-excerpt\" data-content-field=\"excerpt\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFULL INGREDIENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-excerpt\" data-content-field=\"excerpt\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-excerpt\" data-content-field=\"excerpt\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-field=\"excerpt\" class=\"product-excerpt\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-field=\"excerpt\" class=\"product-excerpt\"\u003eALCOHOL DENAT., PARFUM, AQUA, PIPER NIGRUM FRUIT OIL, HYDROXYCITRONELLAL, COUMARIN, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, BENZYL BENZOATE, BENZYL SALICYLATE, GERANIOL, FARNESOL, CITRAL, EUGENOL, ISOEUGENOL\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-field=\"excerpt\" class=\"product-excerpt\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-field=\"excerpt\" class=\"product-excerpt\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ from Stora Skuggan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-field=\"excerpt\" class=\"product-excerpt\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-field=\"excerpt\" class=\"product-excerpt\"\u003eDo you use all natural ingredients?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo, we use both essential oils and synthetic materials of the highest quality.

The brand is run by a small group of perfumers and designers. All production – from perfume formulation to branding – is done at the Stora Skuggan fragrance studio in Stockholm. The perfumes are compounded by hand. Stora Skuggan perfumes are based on stories that blur the line between myth and reality. Central to the brand, these tales are conceptualized through scent and art, creating a small universe for each product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-excerpt\" data-content-field=\"excerpt\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stora Skuggan","offers":[{"title":"30mL","offer_id":53701567611164,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/4264\/files\/HS_web-h_8fe99b7e-15b1-4aea-9e8e-89dd14cff158_grande_1.webp?v=1768090149","url":"https:\/\/www.lencollective.com\/products\/stora-skuggan-eau-de-parfum-hexensalbe","provider":"Len Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
