The Datura seeds came from a wild plant that made its way into my old community garden. The Black Henbane seeds were a gift. I bought the Belladonna seeds online. Iāve grown tomatoes and the like, but nothing like this. Letās see how it goes
I began germinating these seeds (after the Winter Solstice) in water I collected and charged over the last blood moon. It is not filtered, which is of some concern.
I need to change the water everyday, so I am preparing a flask of boiled blood moon water for tomorrow. I will of course chill it completely before suspending the seeds in it.
I wrote little poems for them which I recited as I suspended them. They are now in my refrigerator. I will ask Hekate and the Graces to bless them in ritual.
The Datura seeds were blessed in ritual by Hekate and their sewing blessed by the Graces. May they grow strong and thrive in my garden, and may our spirits come closer together.
Thank you @Dankquanicus for the continued astrological guidance!
Tobacco is a nightshade and I can help you grow, cure, ferment and naturally flavour it. Tobacco is a glorious plant - I use it regularly and Magickally. Itās an important part of my food pyramid. Couldnāt be bothered existing without it. Let me know.
Because Iām a self-professed High Adept in the Black Arts I know that people who arenāt addicted to nicotine donāt deserve to live. Yeah, itās just that simple. Thereās no real point in beating around the bush. As a pipe smoker, snuff taker and top-deck oral tobacco man Iām more than eminently qualified to hold forth with my educated opinions.
I have always firmly and steadfastly maintained that nicotine addicts are better than anyone else, and thatās why Iām better than you. Itās just obvious. No point attempting to argue, is there?
I know that a pipe is the thinking (wo)manās tool. And I appreciate the comfort that a pipe smoke brings. I relax into reassured sleep knowing that my snuffbox is on the bedside table ā just in case. I only venture out with a good wad in my top lip because Iām a gentleman.
And because Iām a really high-octane nicotine addict Magician Iām better than and look down upon everyone else. I mean itās obvious why, isnāt it? Iād love to find a hardcore, filter-less bitch whose mouth tasted like an industrial waste incinerator ā because thatās who I am, deep down.
Whilst you health fanatics are staying healthy, Iām getting whacked with strong nicotine; because unlike the MSM-driven, I know from vouchsafe, personal experience that tobacco is a wonder drug. Indeed, nicotine is my lifetime, all-time favourite drug. No worries! It was an instant and remains an abiding, decades old love affair. Magick was always āthe other womanā ā Magick and nicotine.
If you are going to smoke N.rustica in style, youāll need a Kiseru pipe. No point in curing or fermenting, as itās so strong you can smoke it green. You can sun dry the leaves quickly because youāre not looking for flavour - only hit. If youāre a non-smoker itāll knock your head clean off.
I took Kathryn Solieās Introduction to Poisonous Plant Medicine Course a few years ago. She is nowhere near as witchy as Harold Roth, and is pretty geared towards the āExtremely Sensitive Personā crowd, but I enjoyed the course. It is not grounded in any magickal framework and she was very unaware of core shamanistic concepts when I asked her about them, despite portraying herself as a āplant shamanā. Maybe she has informed herself since then.
1 comment, wild tobacco cigarettes are awful compared to regular ones. Save it for the spirits since they wonāt be coughing their lungs out. If you smoke it you might be. Iām not anti smoke Iām anti cough and anti bad smells (some cigaretteās actually smell good btw (considering they are burning leaves thatās surprising to me).
I think sheās been pretty burned, over and over. By internet occultists, by business competitors poaching her products, by sales platforms, and by her government (via the new regulations on abortifacients and poison path botanicals). It would be amazing if she joined, but idk if she would tbh.
), I am going to attempt to grow three nightshades:
