Trust! (Truffle Prompt)
Trust! We must learn to trust ourselves. If we can’t trust ourselves it is very hard to trust what we receive from the plant spirits, our ancestors, and any other relations that are trying to reach out to us. We need to let go of that need for validation. That we need someone to confirm what we think is true
Forming Personal Relationships with the Plants
It can be cathartic to accept that these plants in our truffles really will form a relationship that is unique and special to each one of us as independent individuals. They aren't drugs or medications that are designed to affect everyone the same way. The plants in our truffles have so much more to offer and one of the greatest things that they do offer is their ability to recognize each person's needs and how best to help and heal each one of us based on each of our own particular strengths and weaknesses.
The Art of Patience
The various preparations I make from these plants are the result of years of learning. To me they are not something I could ever teach in a class. Working with these plants is a calling and a lifelong process of building the relationships with each plant and letting them guide me and incorporating that information with everything else I’ve taken in until that point. Preparations (especially for ingestion) are not something to be taken lightly or knowledge that can be acquired after a series of lessons or reading a couple of books. I was lucky enough to be taken under the wings of several different healers and elders along the way.
Strengthening Our Connection with the Plants During Our Experiences
In order to get the most from our experiences working with the plants in these truffles, we must stay quiet & reasonably still to stay truly connected to them once we consume them. The same was true even with my many experiences with Peyote. In Peyote meetings you sit in the same spot for approx.12 hours & for the most part you say nothing. You are supposed to keep your eyes focused mostly on the fire in the center of the teepee. Looking around at others and even shifting your body around too much is considered rude and distracting but these ‘rules’ also keep you plugged into the experience 100%.
Q: How long will the experience last?
Q: How long will the experience last? A: The most noticeable part of your experience will happen within the first hour and will continue to gently fade over the next five to six hours, though many customers report a feeling of well being and connectedness that stays with them for days, as well as restorative and healing sleep frequently colored by vivid dreams.
Q: Will I be impaired or heavily under the influence?
Q: Will I be impaired or heavily under the influence? A: Our truffles are created for gentle and subtle experiences when working with these sacred plants. Even as subtle as they may be, the first hour is when you’ll feel it at its strongest. We always recommend dedicating that time to listening and connecting with the plants and the truffles and save tasks like driving, etc…
Gentle Expansion Without Being Altered
As far as a fear of being ‘altered’, I have grown to having a very strong aversion to being altered myself. I don't drink or smoke pot and haven't for years. I no longer have any interest in using any entheogen that would make me 'trip' no matter how spiritual it supposedly is. That’s a big part of why I do love these truffles and these plants (nightshades). They really are that gentle. The amount is much more than a
On Knowing which Truffles to Choose
The truffles really do work differently for different people. Think of them as actual people…a bunch of elders and they each will have a different take on what you are working with but all of them are working in what is your best interest.
I encourage people to look at our various truffles with an empty mind and see if any jump out. They just stick in your head and memory. In my mind that is them calling to you subconsciously. The truffles really do work differently for different people. You could also try reading through our list of truffles and then writing down from memory the ones
Making Our Journeys Our Own
Sacred, consciousness-altering plants have played a role in indigenous rituals & ceremonies around the globe for centuries. From continent to continent, plants have held different meanings for those who use them. At Emporium Black, we honor these sacred plants and their role in personal and communal journeys of healing and exploration through creating delicious truffles. Our gourmet chocolate truffles offer a gentle way to ingest sacred plants without causing hallucinations or an overwhelming experience.
A Great Idea from a Customer
I have tried 6 truffles and just ordered 6 more. Every time I have questions, I come on here and you answer exactly what’s on my mind! I’m slowly learning to meditate, which is one of the messages I received. I save the box tabs of each truffle I consume and write a note of my thoughts. My next order comes Thursday and I picked these 6 out myself. So excited for this healing journey I’m on. ❤️ - C.N.
Making Things Happen
Stirring a blend of Belladonna, Datura, & Brugmansia oils into the filling for a fresh batch of our Rainbow Heyoka Nightshade truffles. Wormwood, Anjelica, Chokeberry, Muira Puama, and other natural flavorings have already been mixed in. Rainbow Heyoka is a great one for transformation, transitions, big changes, and even paradigm shifts in thinking along with finding the courage, clarity & peace of mind to do all of these things.
Awakening Possibilities & Potential
There is quite a bit of stigma and bad press about datura seeds. In the beginning I avoided using the seeds in my truffles because I had a fear they would somehow lead to bad experiences...well given everything I had read, it seemed reasonable to think that may be true. One day the plants gave me some new insight that shifted my thinking and took away my fears. Seed pods are the potential for countless as of yet unexpressed lives. Each seed holds the potential for
