The Landscape of The Heart
As ecstatic magicians, the heart is our crossroads between realms. The heart brings us into the mystery. It is the way into Faerie.
Love medicine reminds us to see the world as alive in each moment with wonderment and awe, inviting us to open our hearts to spiritual ecstasy, divine communion, and connection.
The landscape of the heart is a teacher, revealing how to embody bliss, joy, play, desire, and pleasure as well as acknowledge our pain, sorrow, and grief. Through our work, we can become vessels for love’s magic and medicine.
Grounded in Compassion, Sensitivity, and Unconditional Love
I see the Cult of the Divine and my earth-based witchcraft practice as a space rooted in compassion, sensitivity, and unconditional love. It is a way of relating to the animistic world that honors the unique experience of every being as an expression of the divine mystery.
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to seeing life as it really is. I believe in giving ourselves permission to be where we are, allowing our experiences to unfold without shame while remaining open to transformation. Deeply connected to the mysteries of life, I know in my bones that nothing is static. Life is transformation; spirit is movement, vibration, and frequency.
I am a devotee of love, eros, beauty, and pleasure. I believe in drinking deeply from the wells of nature’s wisdom and embracing a both/and approach to life. Time moves in spirals. This human life is a fleeting and precious opportunity for divine embodiment.
To be on a path of love medicine is to cultivate our wonder, presence, compassion, and a heart of service. It is to share our gifts, tend what is sacred, and contribute our unique light to the healing and enchantment of the world.
Plants for Love, Healing, and Presence
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.
Partnerships with these plants, even through their spirit medicine and drop doses, are opportunities for transformation and deep emotional, spiritual, and psychological healing.
Love plants 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.
Euphoric Divine Love Medicine – blue water lily, damiana, rose, passionflower, lavender
euphoric divine love medicine
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
heart healing self-love medicine
Amanita muscaria mushroom is a powerful healer, helping us remember who we really are. Working with this medicine brings us into an awareness of the specialness of being alive.
It is an entheogenic spirit who takes us outside of linear time and into the time-bending realms of enchantment. This entity is bright, tricky, and deeply loving, often finding us in dreams and in faery states of being.
Amanita muscaria can induce expanded states of consciousness that work medicine on childhood wounds, self-loathing, and challenges that block the way to self-love, self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and self-celebration.
‘Poison’ as Loving Presence Medicine – mandrake, foxglove, datura, nicotiana, holly, yew tree
‘poison’ as medicine
Plant medicine as ‘poison’ calls us to dance with the wild and unpredictable powers of nature. The so-called poisonous plants are great spirit teachers, protectors, and healers.
These plants are not for ingesting, but for connecting to the spirit of poison. They carry sweet healing medicine for magical practitioners who work in the liminal spaces between shadow and light, weaving them into wholeness.
Working with the poisonous plants brings us into the realms of shadow and the underworld. The deeper we can process 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 striving to deepen our relationship with paradox, fate, and the unseen.
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.
