This is poisonous when ingested
Flying ointment first described by Johannes Hartlieb in 1456 is a hallucinogenic ointment.
They did not call them flying ointments at the time, they were called 'green oils' or 'green ointment', because of the mixture of herbs.
I have always heard that the use of morphine and poppy were used .
here is more info I found online about these.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_ointment
I think the most important thing is the Wise Ones knew how to make pain killers for women in child birth for the "Twilight Sleep".
Some have said that the alkaloids of henbane and belladonna created the sensation of flying or out-of-body experience, and that these account for the descriptions of witches flying that are met with in some documents of the Inquisition.
So you can check the records.
about the using baby fat.. that was only in fiction and use in making movies.
Here is a safer version of a flying ointment recipe.
NOTE: For external use only
1/4 cup lard
1/2 tsp clove oil
1 tsp ash
1/4 tsp. dried cinquefoil
1/4 tsp. dried mugwort
1/4 tsp. dried thistle
1/4 dried vervain
1/2 tsp. benzoin tincture
Ritual : Using a mortar and pestle, crush the dried herbs until almost powdered. In a small cauldron or saucepan, heat the lard over a low flame until it is melted completely. Add the herbs, the clove oil and chimney soot to the lard base and mix well. Add the benzoin as a natural preservative, stir together clockwise and then simmer for ten to fifteen minutes. Strain it through cheesecloth into a small heat resistant container and then allow it to cool. Store it in your refrigerator or in a cool dark place until it is ready to be used. On a night of the Full Moon, anoint your temples and Third Eye with a small amount of the flying ointment.
