Datura: Body Visions

Datura stramonium; Solanaceae Jimsonweed, Angel’s trumpet, Thorn-apple, Jamestown weed, Mad Apple, Stinkweed, Devil’s Apple, Apple-of-Peru

Datura encourages visions stimulated by the dynamic interplay between our bodies and nature. Rising from our feminine psyche through dreams, body-symptoms, and intuitive feelings, these visions are partly the voice of the sacred earth speaking through our bodies. These perceptions often challenge the status quo and throw us temporarily into creative chaos. Datura helps us honor the creative void and integrate body-encounters with nature as an essential part of our humanity.
