Cannabis Magick - Science & Meditation
A series of four once-a-month hybrid live/zoom presentations
“Recreational” and medical uses of cannabis are in the news daily, but we see and hear much less about the magical, meditative, and spiritual uses. Entheogenic use of cannabis is at least as old as its use in textiles, food, and medicine.
The herb has found use in spiritual traditions throughout the history of humanity. Come join the circle as Phil fires up an experiential tour of the deep and mysterious world of cannabis magick. Expect a euphoric sampling of techniques to maximize and direct the herbal experience toward magical ends. What are the symbols that cannabis mystics use?
Who are the gods they get high with? This session will be an overview of spiritual uses of this special herb, with live demonstrations of techniques you can take home with you!
The connection between cannabis and mystical experience dates back to the earliest days of human civilization. Now, as legalization sweeps the nation, mystics and cannabis enthusiasts have more access to quality herb and information and more and more of us are actively exploring the intersection. Join us for an elevated discussion of several forms of meditation and how they may benefit from cannabis enhancement. We’ll also delve into yoga, kundalini, and related practices that were historically (and currently) combined with cannabis.
