The Spiritual Use of Entheogens

[Avocado]

Whether you're exploring the mind or exploring the heart, you're still sailing out into the oceans of the soul.

that is beautiful

I've heard of that African root but have seen it being called Silene Capensis instead if I remember correctly. Unfortunately I haven't worked with it yet but I'm aware that it's considered supreme for dreamwork. How do you usually take it and how would you compare it to Calea Zacatechichi? How long have you been working with Calea also and what impact has it been having on your dreamscapes?

Yes Silene Capensis is what is commonly called African Dream herb/root but synaptolepis kirkii is entirely different. It's shaped like a potato! I found this story interesting. Someone on the dmt nexus was having conversations with the spirit.

I started drinking Calea around Christmas 11' and Kirkii in the following months. Calea actually hasn't had much of an impact in my dreams. I tend to get nightmares with it but I welcome the catalyst. Kirkii sometimes gives an otherwordly feeling to my dreams or makes them a bit psychedelic. I once was a commander of a futuristic army and retreated to my bunker before it turned into one of those beads on wires child's toy contraptions, in which I was delightfully playing on in a psychedelic fashion. My dream changed from violent to child-like play. Another dream totally changed half way through and I suddenly realized this other being was in control. In a way if felt like a salvia experience I had. I like both herbs but prefer kirkii because of the consistently bizarre dreams. Sometimes I perceive no impact on dreamscapes from either herb however. What about you? How have your dream been impacted by calea?

Also, since I'm sure you're all too familiar with the ultra bitterness of Calea tea, I'd like to pass along a recipe to you that I personally devised that not only masks the taste but makes it very sweet and pleasurable to drink!

- Empty out half of a peach teabag, add calea leaves and boil in pot
- The most important ingredient! Add peppermint chamomile teabag to the pot
- Optional, but you can also add saffron teabag
- After the tea's been made and served, add milk and a fair bit of sugar
- Voila! The bitterness is extremely diluted thanks to the milk and the peppermint flavoring guarantees you won't be shuddering in disgust everytime you sip! The slight peach and the saffron also contribute to giving the tea a bold and sweet flavor, and only a very small residual bitterness will linger but fortunately it is mostly lacking.

lol yes shuddering in disgust is exactly how I feel. If you can get this to taste good then I can confidently say anything is possible.
