[quote=“EpicGnome, post:16, topic:2367”]Alright, I’ll do the experiment.
I’m going to smoke the leaf of the datura tree and then report to headquarters. I’m going to use it in 3 different context.
1.- Solo meditation context. To catch a bit of the effects and how does affect mind, purpose, behaviour, etc.
2.- Scrying. Black mirror.
3.- Evocation (I have performed only 2 evocations, who knows what will happen).
4.- Motorcycle riding… just for the adrenaline fuck the fucking yeah.
Let’s see what happens[/quote]
Alright I finally did the first session.
So, “Session I”:
I used a dried white flower of what I presume is Datura Stramonium (I can’t differentiate from Brugmansia but I think this last has a smaller tree or something).
I got both flower and leaf but the first was already dry so I used that first. I rolled a Datura join alone, with no cannabis.
Some relevant physiological aspects: I started ritual around 5 AM and smoked the join around 5.30 AM. The last meal I had was a bowl of pasta around 2:50 AM.
The Ritual was simple, I did a Banishing and opened the sigil of an entity I trust and asked for protection.
I lighted the join and gave a long deep smoke. The flavour is really something, is different and “beautiful” but does let you a taste that is “too much”.
The effect was immediate after the first smoke, or at least less than one minute. As I felt the flavor of the flower enter my lungs my focus increased and so did my sight (it was almost total darkness except fro two black candles in the small altar at the center of the circle).
Using the focus I opened the Sigil of a demon to help someone from the FwB that I had delayed the work. The sigil started to flash right away. The opening was fast and I even recieved specific instruction about what to do with the sigil.
I took a deep breath and after a unconsious grounding that I engaged in conversation with the entity I called first. The manifesation in the smoke or the candles was no different from other times I had contacted entities (smoke behaving in weird ways, candle flame dancing growing and giving “more light”, etc).
The join quench after the first smoke and I took it as an Omen like “Don’t smoke that again… or less!” So I didn’t, I kept the conversation and started to feel nausea and small headache and became very aware of the flavour of the flower in my mouth.
I took the scrying mirror and saw smoke. I think that’s an improvement since I used to only see static rain and sorts of whirlwinds with colour dots.
I asked some things to the entity and closed the ritual performing the same banishing.
I stoof in the dark for a while and now that I think about it my vision was completely cool, my astral vision I was seeing lights and auras in everything specially in the white things like the fabrif of my circle and the sigil in front of me, everything was clear so I realized I had some level of midriasis.
As soon as I turned the lights on, I turn myself around to clean things up and I feel a woman hugging me and kissing me in the mouth. Very beautiful feeling.
and that’s the end of the first session of this experiment.
Some conclusions about it:
-One smoke improves focus, astral sight and also scrying but slightly.
-It can give you headache and umcomfortable taste in the mouth.
-It definitely can aid in ritual but is not for “free”. I wouldn’t like to depend on it for sho.
I think the effect may increase with a bigger dose, both positive and negatives, btu let’s remember this was a flower, leaf can be different.
Tomorrow the leaf will be dry, I’ll see if I smoke it in a solo meditation seession instead of ritual.
update: I also felt very vigorous but that may be the working with that entity.
