Black Poppy (Memento Mori)

$13.50

Black poppy (papaver somniferum) is a breadseed poppy mutation with purple petals so dark they are almost black. The poisonous and medicinal breadseed poppy is an ancient symbol of sleep and death and has been used both to raise the spirits of the dead and protect from them. Black poppy represents honouring and remembering the dead and can be taken internally or used externally for anointing or a few drops in a spiritual bath before practicing any ancestor work or veneration of the dead. Memento mori means remember all things must die and black poppy flower essence can help with acceptance of death as a natural cycle of life –whether it is your own death, the death of a loved one, the death of a place or way or life, or grief over the ongoing climate crises.

Keywords: memento mori, remember the dead, honour the dead, grief support, accept death, soothe fear of death, align with death, ancestor communion, ancestor work, protect from ghosts, protect from evil spirits
