Datura, a most magical plant whose flowers cover almost every continent in various forms. Globally it has been used medicinally, shamanically, and as a sacrament.

Datura is used to treat anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Used properly it is a powerful pain killer, muscle relaxer and can have a strong aphrodisiac and euphoric quality. Out of all the poisonous plants I’ve worked with, I’ve found Datura to have the most balanced energy - she not only reaches down to the Underworld but also up to the Heavens. When approached in reverence it is as though you are being hugged with all the infinite wisdom of your grandmother. Yet, when communed with carelessly, she can result in insanity or death.
