Euphoric Love Medicine: blue water lily, damiana, rose, passionflower, lavender

These plants open the heart to our divinity and can induce euphoric states of connection, dreams, and relaxation/excitation.

They connect us with divinities whose domains are the realms of the erotic, beauty, love, and magic. As aphrodisiacs, they not only enhance physical pleasure, but also shift us into mystical, ecstatic, and visionary states of being.

These plants can reveal the divine nature that resides in the heart, open our creativity, and deepen our heart-connection with spirit lovers, familiars, and allies.

Heart Healing Self-Love Medicine: amanita muscaria mushroom

Amanita muscaria mushroom is a powerful healer, helping us remember who we are. Working with this medicine brings us into an awareness of the specialness of being alive.

It is an entheogenic spirit that takes us outside of linear time into the realms of enchantment. This entity is bright and deeply loving, often finding us through our in dreams or in faery states of being.

Amanita muscaria can induce expanded states of consciousness that work medicine on childhood wounds, self-loathing, and challenges blocking the way to self-love and self-celebration.

‘Poison’ as Medicine: mandrake, datura, nicotiana

Plant medicine as ‘poison’ calls us to dance with the wild powers of nature. The so called poisonous plants are great spirit teachers, protectors, and healers.

They carry sweet medicine for magical practitioners who work in the liminal weaving threads of shadow and light into wholeness.

Working with the poisonous plants brings us into the realms of shadow. The more we understand our shadow tendencies and respond with curiosity rather than shame, the more unity and acceptance within and towards ourselves we can feel.

The poisonous plant teachers ask us to live in truth, seeing things as they really are and strive towards a relationship with paradox.

The more we work on being with what is and understanding the many gradients between shadow and light, the greater compassion, presence, and unconditional love we can cultivate with all parts of ourselves and with others.

In Love,

Love plants remind us that devotion, desire, and healing all spring from the same source, the living heart. These allies teach us how to love more fully, to root into tenderness, open to beauty, and let enchantment guide us back to wholeness. Through them, we remember that love itself is a transformative form of magic.
