I have poisonous herbs

I have extremely poisonous herbs that were in a Wicca Kit that I got online. Among the herbs that I got were these herbs. I don't want them, but don't want to harm anything by doing so. Any ideas? *Mara :)

Oops! "By doing so" I mean getting rid of them.

Well Mara, it depends on what you call "extremely poisonous herbs". The first thing is DO NOT BURN THEM! The smoke from most toxic plants is still toxic, in some cases worse than the plant its self (due to ease of absorption).
Herbs have many uses other than consumption. Many that are considered toxic have great effects when used externally. If you just don't want them around send me an email ( revbruce@churchofthecircle.com ) , I would love to have them and can keep them secure. If you still just want to dispose of them I will be glad to tell you how to do it safely.

Blessings, Rev. Bruce Richards HP

I wouldn't mind some tips on how I can use them without being harmful. I have children and pets. I have belladonna in 3 forms. I have others also. I would love to use them, but am unsure of how to. My matron is Hecate if that helps. A lot of people tell me that some of what I have is her realm but I don't want any harm to come of their use. *Mara

Have you informed the maker of the online Wiccan Kit that they are selling dangerous herbs? Chances are, others will also be harmed.

Furthermore, you said you have children and pets yet have three forms of Belladonna around them.

You thought to ask us about this because you don't know what to do.

Live wisely Mara. Always think about the worst thing that has a small possibility of happening.

Herbalism is nothing to "Dabble" in. Please read this. Then study Herbalism seriously if interested.

Perhaps you could look into why you are afraid of these herbs? Empower yourself with knowledge of their uses and how to prepare/use them for your workings. Fear is an interesting way to learn about ourselves if we are game enough to look into it. Plants are nothing to fear especially if you don't intend on using them. Put them away or look into your fears then learn about the specific herbs.. There are plenty of ways to use herb that don't require ingesting or burning them :)
