The Heart
As ecstatic magicians, our heart’s energy is the center of the crossroads into the spirit realms.
Heart energy brings us into the mystery. To be in love with the divine is to be in love with ourselves and existence.
Love medicine reminds us to see the world as alive in each moment with wonderment and awe, seeking to be in states of spiritual ecstasy and connection.
The landscape of the heart is a teacher, revealing how to embody bliss, joy, play, desire, and pleasure.
As we work ourselves into emotional states of ecstatic euphoria we become vessels for love’s magic and medicine.
Plants for Love
Heart, love, and aphrodisiac plants can help us tend our grief, ease heartbreak, cultivate compassion and unconditional love, and encourage us to live with an open heart.
Working with them, even just their sprit medicine, can expand our capacity for self-love, intimacy, vulnerability, service, gratitude, and sincerity in our relationships, human and non-human, generating meaning, understanding, and depth with ourselves and others.

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.

‘poison’ as medicine
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 within 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.
