Daniel Siebert Speaks…
the same type of experience as the quid method, but
eliminates the cumbersome bulk and bitterness of the leaves.
I do incorporate various elements of ritual in my Salvia
divinorum sessions. Rituals utilize external actions that
function through symbolism and metaphor to influence inner
experience. I use ritual to prepare the inner environment.
Essentially, to help create the sort of mental "set" that is
conducive for a positive and productive experience. I won't
go into every type of ritual I use, but I will describe the one I
use most often: defining sacred space. The way that I like to
do this is to burn white sage or copal and then to use the
fragrant smoke to describe a circle that encloses the area
where the session will take place. This is a simple, but
extraordinarily powerful act. It creates a container for the
session and promotes a sense of inner preparedness and
respect for what one is about to do. It formally acknowledges
the beginning of the session and signals the time for increased
commitment and focus.
Will: Thanks for taking the time to share some of your
thoughts and experiences with us.
