A sorcerers garden

Sage is great, there are more then one sort, and their general use is quite wide, cleaning spaces with their fumes, as a mouth wash, for fresh wounds too. Thymus serpyllum is great for problems with respiratory organs, stomach, and also relaxes when stressed. Vaccinium myrtillus is great in curing dhiarea in small children, also very good in treating inflammation. Ocimum basilicum helps with gas, insomnia, stress and lack of appetite. Sempervivum tectorum is great when treating burned skin and for long time was the only remedy for ear inflammation. Symphytum officinale is great with broken bone conditions, boils and open wounds, cause the alantoin in them is helping in disinfection of the wound, creating the new tissue and drying the pus. Crataegus laevigata is awesome with all sorts of heart conditions. Mentha piperita is very common, helps with stomach problems most. Artemisia absinthium (main ingredient of my fav beverage XD) is very good with strong stomach problems, lack of appetite, but is very good in general immunity of the system...... there are a lot of herbs out there OB, maybe u should tell us what u want of ur garden to be, that would ease the search ;)

Salvia is a most fascinating plant. I have a large specimen (2m+)of the divinorum type.  I even thought about writing a guide on how to use the plant to actually see the future. Its actually easy once you know how.

I guess i am interested in what might be called halluninatory plants.

Recently I have experimented with a few species of plants for use in dreaming. Some very cuious and quite mixed results from these.

If you have a plant that you have direct experience and knowledge of (note knowledge in the true occult sense) i would be happy to accept cuttings. For a plant to be truly magical i find they tend to have real lineages or roots behind them.

Nina:
Mmm, salvia divinorum, such a great teacher! Did u work with Morning Glory too? I managed to get some seeds, first planned to try them out, but then decided to plant them and get more before i do so. Could u share ur experience with sage please? Im very interested in trying that one, but seems impossible to get the seeds or baby plants here for some reason, although im sure old people in villages still have them (but they dont use internet so i cant get info). Could u send some sage to me? XD Ill send ya Morning Glory seeds in return ;)

Also, here we have Hyoscyamus niger, its really very dangerous to try it, very hard to measure the right dosage, so if u use too much it leads to unrepairable madness.

--- Quote ---Henbane can be toxic, even fatal, to animals in low doses. Its name dates at least to 1265. The origins of the word are unclear but "hen" probably originally meant death rather than referring to chickens. Hyoscyamine, scopolamine, and other tropane alkaloids have been found in the foliage and seeds of the plant. Common effects of henbane ingestion in humans include hallucinations, dilated pupils, restlessness, and flushed skin. Less common symptoms such as tachycardia, convulsions, vomiting, hypertension, hyperpyrexia and ataxia have all been noted.

I tried morning glory once, just a very small amount of the seed, yes it has quite an effect but i experienced a slight nausea with it.
Because of this i never bothered with it again. I know that many seed suppliers actually coat the exterior of the seed with something that is meant to discourage such use. Its a beautiful looking plant though, especially the 'heavenly blue' variety which is the strain with the hallucinogenic effect.

Re salvia perhaps i should send you some info via pm when it is ready.
I have never encountered anything on the subject even remotely similar to the info i have on it. Even from the discoverer of the chemical salvinorum whom i wrote to about my findings. He just didnt believe that what i said was possible, dismissed it as a shamanic story. Thing is i tend to live my stories!!!!

Nina:
Morning Glory and most of other seeds have their own protection layer, but there is a thing called filtering, there are two ways to do it, easiest is dry one (not really dry just not using chemicals other then water). U gotta blend them real short, then use the cloth and filter it through it, the seed cover stays on it, and active matter melts in water. And that is what u drink, no side effects on stomach.

Ill be waiting for ur pm ;)
