Monteverde, August 2024

Doing some repackaging of some of the formulas for aesthetic purposes and whatnot. This is my version of Jugo de Toloache, a formula from Mexican folk magic that literally means Juice of Toloache or Datura. In this case it is Datura innoxia. The scopolamine in datura and other nightshades like brugmansia is responsible for its hypnotic properties. It is a plant that is very much feared and respected and in some areas associated with brujería or sorcery. Scopolamine poisoning is a very real and dangerous thing in some parts of the world. Datura has also been used by many cultures as an aphrodisiac and has been used as an ingredient in love potions. There is a dark side to this in that some practitioners have used it in more coercive love magic. My formula is a safe an potent blend that can be used in love and sex magic, ecstatic trance, and other amorous arts. It is made by infusing datura seeds into red wine and adding other aphrodisiac ingredients. We can use the stimulating, warming and energizing qualities of aphrodisiacs to raise energy within ourselves for various ritual applications. When taken as a vibrational remedy it helps when dealing with issues of a sexual nature. Love magic is a very unexplored aspect of modern witchcraft because people automatically assume it involves another person’s free will but if we can learn to invoke these powerful feelings within ourselves and direct them towards a goal or use them for personal empowerment we are practicing ecstatic witchcraft. #datura #toloache #jugodetoloache #folkmagic #curiosities #oddities #poisonpath #poisonmagic #veneficium #lovemagick #sexmagick #arsaphrodisia #datura https://www.instagram.com/p/CWg_5QzL9SE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Five Petaled flowers have a special significance. Nightshades have this characteristic, having 5 petals or five points like we see here with datura. St Johnswort is another 5-petal herb. While at johns wort is a solar herb that synthesizes solar energy, our darker bothers and sisters, the nightshades are able to synthesize both light and dark. They influence the flower of life and death. What better symbolic imagery for such powerful plants than the five points of the pentagram, another gateway for energy and spirit. #datura #thornapple #daturainnoxia #toloache #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #veneficium #poisonousplants #plantspiritmedicine #plantspiritallies #solanaceae #witchesointment #flyingointment #nightshadeoils #ritualoils #banefulherbs #banefulallies #plantmagic #entheogens #plantspirits #pharmakeia #poisoner #witchcraft #greenwitchcraft #botanicalwitchcra https://www.instagram.com/p/CPbFdZWHrAC/?utm_medium=tumblr

The datura innoxia did a kind of sideways bonsai thing and upon unearthing it’s roots you can see the direction of the aerial parts was mirrored here as well . Daturas do some really interesting things in pots! #datura #daturainnoxia #toloache #mexicandatura #devilsapple #devilstrumpet #devilsgarden #witchsgarden #poisonpath #thepoisonpath #banefulherbs #veneficium #alraune #homunculus #plantspiritvessel #plantspiritmedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CRF_J97rrUs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Jugo de Toloache- Juice of Datura innoxia is a Mexican folk formula used in love spells and manipulative love magic. In some parts of Mexico datura innoxia is associated with “bad” sorcery. The reverse reads: Se la da a tomar a la persona 8 Gotas cada tercer dia para que esa persona se ingre de una manera incontrolable y que siempre haga nuestra voluntad. It suggests 8 drops every third day to keep the person in an uncontrollable state of desire for you and to always do your will. In this way it is essentially a dominating love potion, and when we consider the hypnotic, aphrodisiac and deliriant effects of the plant’s chemistry it makes one wonder how concentrated the formula actually is! Just got this from a friend of mine and very excited to experiment with it. I suspect it is red wine and vinegar infused with datura. I included a photo from The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants for comparison. #datura #toloache #jugodetoloache #lovemagic #sexmagic #thornapple #nighsthade #witchcraft #poisonpath #veneficium #pharmakon #occultherbalism #banefulherbs https://www.instagram.com/p/CRSg195LSsl/?utm_medium=tumblr
