The starting point was the physiological, botanical, chemical and ecological knowledge implicit in historical descriptions of the administration of the Flying Ointment in European witchcraft. For centuries, a veil of censorship has shrouded knowledge about hallucinogenic plants and vulvas, attempting to erase them from kitchens, bedrooms, public squares and discourse.

The Flying Cream I developed refers to the ointment attributed to premodern European witches, but it does not seek to reconstruct it. It questions an epistemicide and a spiritual genocide, entering the body and stimulating memory.Flying Cream was created during an arts-science residency at Génialis, a company based in Henrichemont. The cream we formulated addresses vaginal dryness caused by menopause, chemotherapy, certain medications or testosterone-based hormone treatments. It is also intended for the neo-vaginas of trans women and for anuses longing for caresses — a cream designed to break the silence that pathologizes our pleasure.

Life is an exuberant, trans-species entanglement which manifests all types of intelligence.

Europe has forgotten its witches' ointment.
