Silene Capensis, otherwise known as Silene Undulata or African Dream Root, is a plant native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Silene Capensis is used by the Xhosa shamans as an oneirogen (dream enhancer) and induces incredibly vivid and often times lucid dreams.  

Traditionally, the Xhosa shamans would mix 100-500mg of the powdered dream root with water and stir vigorously until a froth formed atop the water. This froth was drunk in the morning. No effects were felt during the day, but come nighttime, the shamans would enter into fantastically vivid and colorful dreamscapes, gaining knowledge and wisdom from their ancestors and other worldly beings. 

Many modern day, western users of Silene Capensis, find that chewing on 100-200mg of the root for 20 minutes in the morning gives them the wonderfully enhanced dreams they are looking for. Users tend to note that the effects build each day they chew on the root.

From my about me section:
When I was 19, I moved to Portland OR for a little while with my closest friend. We spent our times hiking mountains and playing music with someone we had met our 2nd day there at a punk show. This individual's Dad was a paranoid schizophrenic, with the most severe symptoms I've ever known. One day, he came up to me, with his eyes wide and his hair jetting off in all directions in an unkempt frenzy. He had a book in his hand, The Holographic Universe: by Michael Talbot, and with an intensity I'll never forget, he told me 'They told me you need to have this.' I didn't realize how much that moment would impact me at the time, but a few weeks later, on the top of a mountain I had just climbed, staring at the sun through the clouds (which I could actually look at without it hurting my eyes), I had an epiphany that I had gotten everything I needed out of Portland and it was time to come home to Minnesota. It wasn't until a couple months later that I read the book and realized the entire reason I needed to go to Oregon was that it was the shortest, most concise path for me to take to get this book (and my cat, Spazz). That book changed the trajectory of my entire life, and I recommend anyone that is interested in spirituality, the nature of the universe, or the human potential to read it. 

I hope you gain as much as I did from reading this book. 

With love and gratitude,

Yopo seeds come from the Anadenanthera peregrina tree, a perennial tree native to South America and the Carribean. They have been used in ceremony for thousands of years by indigenous cultures in their native region to induce visionary states and entheogenic experiences. 

The seeds contain a host of active compounds, including bufotenin, 5-MeO-DMT, and DMT. Traditionally, shamans would prepare a snuff mixture by heating the seeds over a fire to pop the shell, and then pulverize the tiny seed into a fine powder, adding ash and other plants to enhance the effects. The shaman would then blow the mixture up the users nose with a tool called a 'tepi'. The experience is said to be extraordinarily intense and visual, and often includes a purge, similar to ayahuasca.

Yopo is a very potent entheogen that I am extremely excited to offer for ornamental and crafting purposes!
