The character 魔 was originally used to translate the sanskrit word मार (Māra) when the first buddhist missionaries came to China from India. In buddhism, Māra is the malignant Demon King who tries to stop Siddartha Gautama from achieving enlightenment by tempting him with visions and illusions. Māra is the dreaded Lord of Illusions. The reason for this translation is that the ancient chinese medicine was well aware of the psychoactives effects of the cannabis and its entheogenic properties, and therefore the link with the illusions of Māra is then simple and easy to understand.

Can’t wait to see everyone in class tomorrow for part two of The Poison Path Formulary! And perfect timing, my copy of The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants just arrived. This is THE reference book for the entheogenic herbalist and anyone with a serious interest in plant intoxicants. This book has been very influential in my own research and is a huge contribution to the study of sacred plant medicine. I’ve referenced this and a number of Rätsch’s other titles in my writing but haven’t owned a copy until now lol #poisonhistory #toxicology #thepoisonaffairs #ethnobotany #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #poisonmagic #poisonousplants #poisonlore #deadlyplants #poisonbooks #toxicologybooks #booksonpoison #thepoisonpath #veneficium #entheogens #psychoactiveplants #plantspiritmedicine #occultherbalism https://www.instagram.com/p/CMDmOsynpv1/?igshid=15rxs9px5s69q
