I probably don't have much to contribute to this conversation, but I'm fascinated to hear what others have to say on this topic.

Creating a personal Liber Novus is incredibly intriguing. I must admit I've been tempted to do so before, but as far as creating an illuminated manuscript like Jung did, I tend to doubt my own artistic capacity to make it worthwhile. Years ago I actually did keep something like this, but the illustr...

Ah, ok, sorry for the confusion. I've never known LSA/Morning Glory seeds to be especially unforgiving; my limited experiences with them have been fairly mild, but as such I can't really attest to 'heroic' dose experiences, so you may well be right. ...Heroic doses of LSA don't mix well The only tim...

I'm not sure which particular species of mushrooms they were using (because that's an important fact) I believe it was Psilocybe aztecorum . That's another thing I sort of mean, too. I'd like to know the "True Name" of the spirits of the plants themselves. If you listen to ayahuasca icaro...

Datura is ubiquitous in the religions of pre-Columbian California, and amongst the Chumash, Datura wrightii is personified by Grandmother Momoy. I consider Grandmother Momoy one of my patrons, and have done a fair amount of work with her (albeit without actually consuming datura; the dangers associa...

I've smoked mapacho before. It's great for cleansing, blessing, et cetera. I was introduced to it in the context of an ayahuasca retreat in Peru, and it's pretty much used ubiquitously by ayahuasqueros. The effects are in part a strong nicotine rush, but there's definitely more to it than that. Smok...

Thanks for the warm welcomes, all! [happy2]

Just for the sake of joining in on the conversation, I'll quote myself in another thread: Marijuana and Hashish were, at one time, central not only to my spiritual practice, but to my life in general. There was a time when I was more or less perpetually stoned, but my use was also intrinsically tied...

(Not sure if this is the right subforum for this; if not, feel free to move it) Could anyone point me towards some mudras associated with the moon. I'm not very knowledgable about mudras, but I'm preparing to begin doing some planetary magick, starting with the moon, and I was wondering if there wer...

Let's say you are performing a ritual pertaining to a particular planet, but you are unable to find time to do so on the corresponding planetary day and hour. Is it better to go with the day, or the hour? For example, if I want to do a ritual involving mercury, is it better to do it on Wednesday, on...

It seems to be working now.

I've found this to be a fun exercise. This site has a database of the astrological charts of famous people. See if you can find anyone that matches all three of your sun, moon, and rising signs (or something along those lines). For example, both Vincent van Gogh and I have our suns in Ares, moons in...

I don't see those buttons.

Just thought I'd share this gem of a tarot deck .It looks like based on the Rider-Waite, but much more surreal and psychedelic. http://41.media.tumblr.com/0c4a9163738142c627b3081728eab6a9/tumblr_nexm1ei7S81qc5jl0o1_500.jpg http://24.media.tumblr.com/2de817f180ef4da439a98036dab37ea3/tumblr_n3hn4k1jRB...

How do I edit my posts?

Seattle, Cascadia. I'm from near Los Angeles originally, though.

I've consumed a cornucopia of drugs in my time, with a variety of intentions ranging from purely spiritual to thoughtlessly hedonistic. Dismissing the latter (and thus, inherently in my personal experience, all experiences with "hard" drugs such as cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, etc), I'd...

Greetings! I'm Yex. I'm 24 years old and live in Seattle, Washington, Cascadia. I've come here mostly to browse around, but I may post here and there where appropriate. I'm a Christo-Pagan, with my belief system rooted in a syncretic mix of Christianity and pagan, shamanistic animism. I imagine Chri...
