Second issue of Alraune Journal, a 190 pages full-color anthology dedicated to the Poison Path.

As the many plants haunting the enchanted grove of the Midnight Eden possess their own particular signatures, this second Alraune offers a unique panacea of visions, experiences and practices, reflecting in their diversity the various modalities of expression, gnosis and personae of those engaged in the Poisonous Artes. A compendium of refined Veneficia offered as the Serpent's Gift of Gnosis from Practitioners to Practitioners.
