Anecdotal: Paris is a deadly poison available as a garden specimen and is one that is perhaps best approached from afar. Even so it is one that had its place in the medicine bags of the highly skilled practitioners of ancient times. Its spirit was invoked to address issues related to loss of prayerful expression and ones sense of vision caused by elusive endopsychic wounds or spiritual obstructions. Paris was also handled to address severe aberrations of the mind. Conditions such as these were believed caused by malevolent spirits that required a formidable exorcismal. Remarkably Paris was regarded as love medicine as well. Again, this one is a deadly beauty.
