Hi guys, I have been a member here for a couple of years and decided it would be in my best interest to start sharing some experiences with you guys Smile I am keen to hear your thoughts and reflections. Smile

Most recent breakthrough:
I was still feeling a very euphoric afterglow from the Equinox ritual energies, and decided to work with these energies and bring on some positive changes in my life. Refresh. Renew. Re-energize. I believe the energies from the Equinox ritual are what triggered the following experience, strange coincidences had been occurring since.

Firstly I'll explain my background briefly to what led me to that days experience.
For a number of years I have been working with shamanic plants and medicines in my magical work and for soul searching. It was these substances that actually got me interested in spirituality and magical work. I will refrain from using the term 'drug' as it taints the healing nature of these medicines. I've had many experiences with different shamanic plant preparations and extracted forms. I believe all my previous experiences have been leading up to this one moment.

THE EXPERIENCE
Compound used: D.M.T. crystals extracted from Australian Acacia trees (this neurotransmitter is the main visionary principle of South American shamanic brews known as Ayahuasca, or Yage.
Set / setting: I was in an extremely uplifted and contented mood all morning. I decided with the Equinox energies still very apparent, that it would be an excellent time to do some gardening. I planted Some Acacia seedlings (this is an important part of the vision that followed soon after). I cleaned up the house and finished anything that was started (tied up loose ends).
Still feeling very euphoric, I thought it would be a great time to reflect on the Equinox and my life path. I meditated for a good 30 minutes, spoke my intentions to the D.M.T. crystals, then smoked.
What follows was the single most important vision of my life.

I heard a distinct humming noise as my third eye (pineal gland?) switched on, a ringing/humming sound that increased in intensity and pitch. I was then whisked away to 'the other side' (astral plane? spirit realm?)
With my eyes open, I could still maintain that my room was there, but it was overlapped with the most beautiful and pristine garden I have ever seen, as if my room had been transformed into an angelic greenhouse, I could smell the rich oxygen in this place. I felt an extreme serenity and peace with where I was.
With eyes closed the astral greenhouse appeared more clearly, more defined.
I could sense the presence of an entity nearby. (One will often meet entities in these altered states, particularly with DMT. Whether they are external or parts of our own psychology is a mystery).

I turned my head (eyes still closed) until I could see the entity, I sensed a very feminine and loving presence from this entity.
It then got very close to me, and began to hug me (not in any human sense but I knew it was demonstrating affection on some level, the action felt warm and very loving, like a hug from your mum.)
Infinite love was pouring out of this entity and into me, I felt like I was a child in the presence of a divine mother figure. I realized then that was the spirit of the Acacia plant (other reports of Acacia based DMT preparations have also described a feminine mother entity).

She was communicating to me, not with words, but planted thoughts (things just suddenly made sense) and she would show me beautiful plants and patterns.
I believe it was all relating to my intentions of a fresh start. The act of planting those seedlings was symbolic of my present moment in life, I believe at the same moment I had planted seeds into my subconscious mind. Both trees will provide the fruit needed to strengthen me and evolve.
The strange thing is, the Acacia spirit demonstrated a vast level of intelligence. The pots and tools I had utilized earlier were placed outside my flat. From where I was sitting inside they were to the left of me (with a wall and closed door between me and the objects.

She continued communicating in feelings, patterns and symbols and then she did something I will not soon forget. The entity beckoned me to look to my left, as I did, (again my eyes are closed at this point, and there is a wall and closed door blocking my view) I could see an image forming of the very pots and gardening tools that i had used less than an hour ago and in perfect photographic high definition (normally I have poor photographic memory).
She began rotating and moving these objects around her in a playful fashion. I got a strong vibe that she was reiterating the lesson, or that it was a gesture in good humor as if she wanted to go help me in the garden. The whole scene was beautiful.
I felt at that moment that I'm almost on the right path, it's right in front of me and no matter what happens there is an infinite love within and throughout. I must continue nurturing and working with plants as they are highly sentient, multifaceted beings. They are there for us and want us to learn.

I faded back into my room, completely awestruck and brimming with love and serenity. I opened the door and walked outside. Clouds had begun forming and were now much thicker (it rained quite heavily later that night, we were overdue for rain and our tanks were basically empty).
I observed everything around me, and felt an immense swirling of energies from all the life forms around me in my day to day life. Then I did something I have never done, with the biggest smile on my face I began to cry, not lightly mind you I was balling my eyes out. It was a nice feeling, it felt like a purge. Very cleansing.

AFTERMATH
I still feel incredible, my mind is clearer. My path is clearer. I'm appreciating the little details even more. If life is a mystery the clues are in the tiniest details. I know what needs to be done to enter the next chapter of my life. I'm motivated and refreshed, my luck has increased and have little to no stress most of the time. It's a nice feeling.
I will take a week or so to integrate the experience somewhat and start getting personal trees ready to prosper. Once they are established, they will thrive.

This experience has answered many questions, tied many loose ends, and left me with more complex questions. It is the symbolic turning point in my life. The next level.
The entities seem to enjoy it when we do what makes us feel healthy and happy. I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed gardening. Subtle but very symbolic things are occurring around me now, and all relate back to this shift.
Words do not accurately describe the experience as it was beyond words. I think there were more messages embedded within the experience which I'm sure I will discover eventually.

Please inform me if this post is typed in an incorrect format. I haven't posted here in years and am still getting used to things. Thank you for reading what I wanted to share.

Really? Do tell! did you write this with the intention of sharing with an audience less familiar with the spice?

Great post, sounds like you have a good connection with your plant teachers. Welcome back!

Curious, what majickal tradition are you working with? Natural magic just comes...natural to me, on my mother's side of the family, the knowledge runs pretty strong. I'm currently a student of the western esoteric corpus, kabala and the like. Connecting kabalistic teachings, eastern mysticism like kundalini yoga and plant shamanism doesn't seem as far fetched as it sounds with things like dmt to use a tools in the work. How do you utilize psychedelics in your majickal practice? Are you involved in invocation/evocation work?

I've always been curious how successful a goetic operation would be if one smoked spice within the circle? Would the demon appear in the triangle, heck, would it STAY in the triangle?

Apologies to the more enlightened with this amazing tool
I study Western esotericism, and had sent the body of my report to my group and had not tailored to the Nexus users. My bad

Thank you for the welcome. I've normally been rather reserved with sharing some of my personal journeys. But I realise sharing the love is also a nice way of integrating experiences

I am working with the Kabala, Kundalini and other schools of thought in my group. I utilize what I have learned in theory with my group. Practice it alone either within a natural setting or astral temple. Part of my integration is bringing back energies and lessons from hyperspace into group ceremonies and vice versa.

Personally I never mix Spice with my group temple. I treat spice as part of my personal temple. Mixing the two isn't practical.
Spice or Aya I believe go hand in hand with solitary esoteric work.
By visualizing defensive energy in hyperspace I have learned I can repel invasive entities with words of power or simply blinking energy blasts at them. Not enough to hurt anything but enough to make them back off if they get too close and I feel uncomfortable around them.

I think in a group setting if spice were incorporated into an operation all participants would need to use it, which I think would have tremendous success in manifesting a successful outcome. Spice has enabled me to see my spiritual weaknesses and symbolically re-tune and strengthen them.
