keywords: release, honoring the birth + death cycle, trusting the dark

anthem: “Datura” by Tori Amos
season: a cool night in high summer
vision: a shriek of awe + delight
Here in the high desert mountains, Datura begins their aromatic blooming in August at dusk and into the night. With the sweetest single drop of nectar the morning after, datura is a remedy for holding us between the poles of dark and light, a reminder that they are mirrors, two ends of the same spectrum. Moths and hummingbirds alike dive into their blooms to touch the ephemeral, to remember the cycle, the sweet and the bitter of life and loss.
As void medicine, it helps guide us through the emotional and energetic threshold of releasing what is no longer serving us. To allow for a “death”, or ending, invites space for the new to bloom. The death can be parts of ourselves that need release, old and expired narratives that bind us to the past-- or past versions of ourselves, and relationships and dynamics that don’t serve our growth, that diminish or cast a shadow on real love. In our death-phobic society, we must seek out the reminders that death leads to birth leads to death leads to birth. A cycle, a spiral.
Datura invites real, sustaining love, connection, and a more honest relationship to self and other, all of which we know at our core, which exists under all the wounding and old harmful patterns and relational dynamics that many of us carry from childhood into adulthood.
Datura’s bold, fiery, medicine of the underworld welcomes the open palm instead of believing that clutching tight and closing off is the only way through.
This is a 1oz dosage bottle meant for personal use. Available as alcohol-based or alcohol-free.
