Klip Dagga

all things klip dagga plant nightshade chocolate truffles gourmet truffles

Leonotis nepetifolia

Klip Dagga has a lovely calming and slightly euphoric personality. Gorgeous plants when flowering, they shoot out countless bright orange trumpet shaped blossoms full of a sweet nectar that attract bees, butterflies, and birds, hummingbirds especially. In fact, it's hard for me to think of these plants without thinking of the hummingbird medicine they also seem to carry. Hummingbirds have an undeniable mastery over time and space. They can simultaneously move their wings so fast we can barely perceive they are moving yet their bodies remain motionless hovering in a stillness that defies time and space. What an ideal guide to help people cross veils, all kinds of unseen plains, and the spaces between dreamworld and consciousness. The hummingbird's natural inclination to seek out sweetness and beauty further assures that we will be guided to similar destinations when we go into our trance work and the like.

(The daggas can have an effect on the uterus; depending on the dose, they can stimulate- or suppress the menstruation.)

Solandra

Solandra maxima

Solandra is hands-down the most ancient feeling plant spirit I've ever had the privilege of encountering. From the moment I first consumed it, I sensed a profound connection to something timeless and powerful. It took a few moments to decipher its ancient voice, but once I did, its message resonated within me like an ancient melody echoing through the ages. The sheer volume of wisdom it possessed was almost overwhelming, as if it had been accumulating knowledge and insight for centuries upon centuries. In its presence, I couldn't help but feel as if I had crossed paths with a beloved soul from a past life, someone who had, against all odds, found their way back to me time and time again. It was a mystical reunion, a homecoming of the deepest kind. In that moment, the boundaries of time and space seemed to blur, revealing the unbreakable bond between us, a connection that transcended lifetimes. This reunion with Solandra filled me with a profound sense of belonging, as if I had found my way back to my long-lost family. It was an experience of pure and unwavering love, the kind that knows no conditions or limitations.

Wormwood helps us see all that is truly there to see again. We are born having clearer vision but early on we are trained to believe what is acceptable to see and that the rest is imaginary or not really there. Wormwood temporarily pulls down the veils society uses to block our true sight. This gift is for help with closed-eye visions. Truffles with Wormwood will not make you have open eyed hallucinations.

(Wowmwood can stimulate the uterus)


Mugwort

mugwort artemisia plant chocolate truffle nightshade

Artemisia douglasiana (Dream Plant)

Mugworts work as a receptacle and facilitator to collect and hold offerings that do not have a physical shape for clean delivery to the intended spirit, being, or other. Mugwort is ready to receive our non physical being, our intentions, and or our incantations in our most personal of ceremonies for those who are drawn to do such work. She helps to protect us during these vulnerable transactions and is able to cleanse the offerings so they may be given in their purest and cleanest forms.

(Mugwort can have an effect on the uterus; depending on the dose, it can stimulate menstruation.)

Turnera diffusa

Damiana saturates us with love. When we surrender to her influence, everything we sense and think is done so through her lens of pure exquisite love and it can be like being reborn. The purity of her love offers us nutrition for our soul whether it be to prepare us for something new or to help us recover from a particularly exhausting period for our soul. Damiana loves to be in love so do not be surprised if she sweeps you up into this kind of energy as well but her love medicine far outreaches that of a simple aphrodisiac. 

 
 

Wild Lettuce

wild lettuce help us tune in to a more sacred frequency unique to our own self ancient plant of true knowing

Lactuca virosa

Wild Lettuce sedates those unproductive thoughts that do not serve us to help us tune in to a more sacred frequency unique to our own self. A quiet but powerful plant spirit whose power comes from its simplicity of both thoughts and words. An ancient plant of true knowing.


Rue

Peganum harmala

One of Rue’s greatest gifts is how she helps other plants amplify their own medicine. Plants are stronger and able to shine more when she is around and what a beautiful gift if we can in turn take from her teachings and learn to better help others by making them stronger and shine brighter in a graceful almost effortless way. There is some in our Pleiadean Moon Nightshade Truffle and Key Keeper Nightshade Truffle as a supportive role and it fits there beautifully. It is such powerful medicine and a medicine the world desperately needs right now. 

  • Ruta graveolens

Crossvine

Crossvine flowers plant chocolate nightshade truffles

Bignonia capreolata

Crossvine grows in sunny fields atop forest canopies far from our human eyes. These wonderful flowers bloom for the Fae and all of our relations in the sky. Along with the ability to retrieve long forgotten memories, they carry rain and thunder medicine as that is what is needed to bring them down to the earth to harvest. A perfect companion to some of these other plants we use to help us cross over to those hard-to-reach places. 


A note on our language about the plants: When we are talking about these plant spirits we have to understand that what we are talking about is something that lives in a different realm or plane of consciousness than this one we spend most of our time in. These other planes do not follow the same rules and laws of science and society that exist here. Assuming a plant has a gender is trying to define it by the laws and rules of this plane. I find that many plants present both masculine and feminine, as well as genderless, and that their genders can be ever changing. From my experience, this seems normal in their world. When I use a masculine or feminine pronoun in describing a plant, it is by no means definitive of the plant, but only symbolic of a particular attribute’s more masculine or feminine qualities.
