📝 Description: Shamanic Plant Medicine - Salvia Divinorum: The Sage of the Seers Heaven, Ross

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 is the shamanic plant of Mexico. It is known particularly for its divinatory powers but it also has the ability to heal and, more extraordinarily, in modern usage it provides access to inter-dimensional travel and the ability to move through time. The shamanic applications of Salvia are currently little known outside of Mexico but, along with Ketamine and Ecstasy, it has become one of the most popular 'drugs' on the planet among teenagers who have little or no understanding of how to use its powers in a positive and effective way or the potential dangers of using it recreationally. This book therefore serves as a much-needed introduction to this powerful plant.

Occult literature desk
Heaven provides a necessary corrective to the prevailing narrative surrounding Salvia Divinorum, shifting focus from mere intoxication to profound spiritual utility. The book excels in detailing traditional healing and divination contexts, making it a vital resource for serious practitioners. However, it does not suit those looking for immediate, step-by-step dosage protocols or purely scientific pharmacological data. It is also unsuitable for readers who view plant medicine solely through a recreational lens, as the text explicitly warns against such engagement. Ultimately, it is a thoughtful, cautionary guide for the discerning occultist.
