Hello, Nice to Meet You

Meet the witch

Hi, My Name Is Eimi OstaraMoon

I am a misfit hailed from The Fragrant Harbor of the Pearl River, and the driving force behind Poison and Bee.

Poison and Bee grew out of my love for magical plants, especially the deadly ones, and honey bees. “Poison as medicine” is a concept I’ve always known, even when I didn’t realize it. Honey bees became part of my magical practice naturally after I started my own apiary and working closely with them.

Following the guidance of plant allies and honey bees, Poison and Bee is an ever-changing adventure. I invite you to join me on this journey into the mysteries of poisons and bees.
