Consciousness, Waking & Dying

The Shamanic Plant Medicine series acts as an introduction to specific teacher plants used by shamans in a variety of cultures to facilitate spirit communion, healing, divination and personal discovery, and which are increasingly known, used and respected in Western society by modern shamans as a means of connecting to spirit.

Salvia divinorum has been used since ancient times by the Mazatec shamans of Mexico for divination, vision quests, and healing. Known by many names—nearly all associated with the Virgin Mary, who has come to symbolize the spirit of salvia—this plant ally is now regarded as the most powerful natural hallucinogen.
