Visioning Other Worlds Elixir

Other worlds are not only possible, they are already here - around and within us, sometimes we just need some help (from the plants) to see them. This elixir has appeared in the apothecary by popular demand — I made a version of it many years ago for myself and have occasionally shared it in workshops and surprisingly it’s continually been met with great enthusiasm and requests for purchase afterwards — so here it is! 
 
It’s important to know this elixir contains three safe and legal entheogens/psychedelics (Mugwort, Marigold and Blue Lotus) that can be used to help us gently alter our consciousness but will not make you feel ‘high’.

This elixir will not incite visions but you'll likely find yourself more open, sensitive and intuitive. You may feel slower and more peaceful. Or you may feel more alert but calm.

Blue Lotus (the only herb I didn’t grow) has been known to open up and increase perception of the intuitive faculties, sensory perception of the physical senses, and creating a sense of warm, safety, community and connection. It is a strong and effective aphrodisiac, and is wonderful to use during divination, healing sessions, personal journey work or when in nature.

Mugwort is always best used with clear intention, helping us open up to the dream world, both at night and during journey work.
But remember to ask the plant to show and teach you specifically about a particular issue or topic at hand, lest the dreaming be too much, too many topics, all over the place.

Marigold is rightly revered as an indigenous plant medicine of the Americas, often used as a sacred bathing herb to clear and clean dark, heavy, sad energy, and to do the important work of grieving or dealing with death or working on ancestral healing... a light in the darkness, helping us to cross the boundaries between the world of the living and the dead.

Rosemary helps to unblock and increase blood flow/life force around your body, heightening your senses and waking the mind, it holds the energetics of remembering, through literal increase in brain function and memory, but also spiritual remembering of well ancestors passed… now would be a good time to call on them for guidance as history repeats and the wisdom we need to proceed already exists.

Rose can also induce a mild euphoria at high doses but most importantly opens up our heart (while firmly holding needed boundaries), as we survive the many challenges of these times while seeking to imagine and embody worlds beyond this one.

Intention is the most important factor in working with this visioning elixir, from dream work to calling forth guidance - affecting what you’ll experience while on this elixir, to what you could learn (or not) from taking this elixir, so use with intention and focus.
 
Suggested Use:
Take with intention during dream work, ancestor work, journey work, divination, healing sessions, or when in nature.
Journalling is highly recommended while working with this elixir. Some potential questions you could ask yourself before taking :::
— What do I need? — What does my family need? — What does the human world need? — What does the Earth need?
Or formulate your own questions to help focus your intentional work and your ability to intuit answers, both while dreaming and awake.
 
Suggested Dosage:
As with any plant medicine you must find the dose that works for you. For most this is somewhere between one drop and 90 drops — a big range! I would suggest to start with a lower dose, 5-10 drops, then measure your response and adjust accordingly. 
 
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE IN PREGNANCY OR WHILE BREASTFEEDING  
(Please note: as this isn't on the label!)
