Nightshade family (Solanaceae Juss.) is represented in the domestic flora by both native species and of the foreign origin, including invasive. Characteristic feature of many taxa of the nightshade family is the presence of different kinds of active substances from the group of alkaloids (nicotine, atropine, scopolamine), responsible for their toxic properties. Not many people are aware that it embraces vegetables (e.g., potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant) as well as stimulants (e.g., tobacco) and poisonous plants. From the last group noteworthy polish species are: bittersweet nightshade, henbane and deadly nightshade. Solanaceae for centuries have been used in folk medicine in many regions of the world, and the substances contained in them were also used in many sectors of conventional medicine. They were also bound with many folk beliefs.

Przedmiotem rozważań w powyższym szkicu są przepisy na „maść czarownic” przytaczane w literaturze rosyjskiej pierwszej połowy XX wieku. Wedle tradycji europejskich sięgających czasów średniowiecza tytułowy specyfik pozwalał czcicielkom Szatana na swobodne przemieszczanie się (przelot) na zgromadzenia z udziałem mocy piekielnych. Omówiono tu w przede wszystkim zioła, jakie zdaniem bohaterów powieści Walerego Briusowa Ognisty Anioł stanowić miały podstawę preparatu. Receptury zaprezentowane przez Renatę i jednego z uczniów Agryppy von Nettesheim różnią się nieco od siebie. W obu przypadkach wymienione zostały jednak pewne wspólne komponenty specyfiku. Należą do nich lulek/blekot (Hyoscyamus niger, L.); psianka slodkogórz (Solanum dulcamara, L.); pietruszka, którą należałoby zapewne identyfikować z blekotem ogrodowym (Aethusa cynapium, L.) lub szczwołem plamistym (Conium maculatum, L.) oraz wilczy ząb (jeden z gatunków Aconitum, bądź Helleborus foetidus, L. lub Claviceps purpurea).

The article describes the recipes for the “witches’ ointment” quoted in the Russian literature of the 1st half of the 20th century. According to the European tradition dating back to the Middle Ages this drug enabled the worshippers of Satan to freely translocate (by air) to their covens with the aid of the powers of hell. Described are primarily the herbs, which, according to the characters of the Valery Bryusov’s novel The Fiery Angel, were to constitute the base of the concoction. The recipes given by Renata and one of the Agrippa von Nettesheim’s disciples slightly differ. There are, however, some components common to both of them. These include the henbane (Hyoscyamus niger, L.), the bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara, L.), the parsley, probably to be identified with the fool’s parsley (Aethusa cynapium, L.) or the hemlock (Conium maculatum, L.), and the wolf’s bane (one of the species of Aconitum, Helleborus foetidus, L. or Claviceps purpurea).

Tourists, very often, are not aware of dangers associated with the natural environment, such as poisonous plants, venomous or dangerous animals, climate, earthquakes, or volcanoes. They expose themselves to risk due to a lack of knowledge about both animated and unanimated components of nature. Often tourist unwisely want to experience something thrilling and unusual – like a photo with a wild animal. Particularly unsafe are all kinds of intoxications, particularly those connected with plants, because knowledge about plants is definitely poorer than knowledge about animals, which leads to – often deadly in consequence – poisonings by hazard. Travelling abroad became more popular nowadays, even to some exotic destinations. The number of nature-based tourists and ecotourists is rising, consequently, causing numerous dangerous situations for these tourists. This paper contains basic information about some selected risks caused by nature, particularly, one provoked by plants growing in Poland and worldwide. It also contains the results of a study connected with tourist awareness about the abovementioned threats.
