Ska Maria Pastora Entheogen Ritual
Ska Maria Pastora, the Shepherdess or Salvia Divinorum is a sacred entheogenic plant of the peoples of Mexico in the mint family. It was used long ago, mostly likely, by the Maya, Zapotec, Aztec and Omec. Many modern Indigenous groups still use Salvia Divinorum through a process of chewing rolled leaves at night time for healing and divination. Modern descendants of the Maya and Zapotec as well as Mixtec and Oaxacan peoples still utilize this plant today. Most often we hear that they use it as a substitute for the Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybe Cubensis and Psilocybe species) during the seasons when the mushrooms are not fruiting. 
Salvia Divinorum is an easy plant to cultivate and can be very sustainable and rewarding to the Shamanic Herbal enthusiast. It is primarily probagated through cuttings but lately the plants that many of my friends keep are sprouting flowers and eventually seeds. These are sensitive plants and, I believe, need lots of loving care. If provided a safe and compassionate living space with the right conditions (humid, shaded and warm) your very own Ska Maria Pastora will offer you stronger medicine that you can find at most stores where these are sold. Usually they are sold at Smoke Shops or Smart Shops but check your local laws because sometimes the Shepherdess is restricted in your area.
There are many ways to experience the visions of the mint and while smoking it might be popular and "what you have heard of," it's a very INTENSE experience and should only be done if you are experienced with the Plants of the Gods and other smoking herbs of the world. I've been meaning to assemble a few of the stories (aka Trip Reports) from my friends whom I've "sat" for. The smoking experience usually yields one of two things: something vastly profound and edging on incomprehensible OR nothing worth doing again (too weird or just doesn't work).
Digression is one of those things that I enjoy doing in my writing and now is one of those times where "I digress." Today I am writing to invite you to Salvia ceremonies in your area. Classes and groups are run through a community of teachers within our organization, Sacred Spiral. Groups tend to be more in the US and around the Southwest but our group and reach is expanding more and more and hopefully if you have an interest in this medicine, the Great Spirit will bring her to your area.
In Arizona during the month of August 2012, we have a ceremony prepared that you can RSVP for on Facebook. Here are the details:
Spiritual and Healing space will be held for a small group of journey-men and women with the Shepherdess of the Salvia Divinorum plant. Ska Maria Pastora ceremonies are done on an empty stomach in the dark with whole leaves of the sacred mint. She does not prefer that we smoke her, instead it is more appropriate to chew this sacred teacher. Seating is limited. Donations requested (~30 to 50) or Trade. Ceremony is about 90 min with about 40 minutes in the vision space. You will be sober at the end of the night. This is a legal and welcome entheogen within the Arizona state limits.
RSVP or call for the location. 619-663-4844

Alchemy in Sin City
Friends,
As an adult, I had never been to Las Vegas, Nevada before (commonly referred to as Sin City). Wow! Wah! What a city and what an experience! I've learned more about life, people and this City (perhaps even the nature of city dwellers), in this week in Las Vegas than I've learned over the course of 7 years. I'm actually still here. Any I've still got about the same money I started with, this means that I've won enough to eat and drink and be merry (because that costs a pretty penny here).
So, I first brought up the idea of Lucky Astrology for Gambling about a year ago and this summer 2012, I actually started implementing it. In Phoenix AZ, and expanding out globally from there, I started training friends to use Lucky and Fortunate planets for winning speculative things like betting. Considering that there has been the most success in short periods of time thus far [under precise conditions and specific days] I see progress.
We've started simply with a facebook group on Human Design, Astrology, and Astroluck (as I'm calling it). In September we had a fortunate encounter with an inspiring and talented astrologer who uses the midpoint system or Biocosmology (or is it Cosmic Biology?). His name is David and just like the Message David in the Bible, he has brought good words and teachings to my community and I. So the system that I've recently picked up is called the Cards of Destiny. It's astrology and divination using the playing cards, the poker deck. A good site is Robert Lee Camp's page on the Cards of Destiny.
The cards, the planets and the Human Design all seem to help. The best lesson though, is to know when to quit and know your chart and what transit-times and where. While in Vegas, I was with my friends (4) for about one week. It's incredible what I've seen and the trends that I've watched.
If you are ever to get into gambling or speculative betting, PLEASE CONSIDER THE POSITIONS OF VENUS AND JUPITER both within your birth stars and at the times you are prepared to play. And always walk away with winnings, because there will always be another time to play (usually it's in about three hours). We as a group did our best to keep time for each other, but really I was the only one watching the clock. At times the energy got so wrapped up in Money and Vegas thrills that I had to set alarms before even leaving my hotel room.....
Speaking of hotel rooms, if you come to Vegas, and you believe in Astrology or Sacred Geometry, you simply must get a suite in the Luxor Hotel and Casino. In the beginning of the trip we stayed at a place just across from Caesar's Palace and the vibes were mild to low to say the least. After doing numerology on the casinos within the area (spoiler alerts ahead), I discovered that I would only like to game at Treasure Island, Paris, and mayhaps Bellagio. Then we discovered Freemont Street (downtown Vegas), and I personally favor the energy of El Cortez. Each time we went there, we made money walking out, and because it's lower scale (kinda divey) we had no problems walking away with our money to bigger and best things.
However, at least two of my friends had problems walking away with money just over the top of what they put in, and thus they paid to play (plus got free drinks and comps). Personally, my teachers tell me that I need to play to make money, not play for fun, and not for comps. Having fun and receiving a comp are nice but DISCIPLINE IS THE KEY, AND I AM THE KEY MASTER. (Honestly I am, it's in my Human Design chart, a "design of the Keeper of the Keys" plus I'm very Saturn influenced.)
So Vegas has advanced me in two ways (systematically speaking), I've learned to use Astrological Hours especially the planets Jupiter and Venus AND I've learned to use the Astro-Clock to chart hourly transits through the houses....mainly following Jupiter and Venus and looking for blocks.
One friend and I, are much more into Magick and Mystery teachings, thus we began to employ the Planetary squares, symbols and sigils for best luck...and it seems to work well. Personally I also use numerology on the slots but the symbols for Venus and Jupiter when ascribed on my hands, seemed to force a win!! I encourage you to believe (or at least want to enough) and try it out.
Here are some examples of the planetary magick (Chriss Angel would be proud!):

Salvia Meditations
Dear Friends and Alchemists,
I am writing out of excitment and satisfaction. Last week we completed class number three and the experiencial portion of the Salvia Divinorum Ethnobotany series. In a well intended, meditative setting with wonderful friends we experimented with altered states of consciousness induced by Salvia Divinorum leaves...
...and we were totally SUCCESSFUL with amazing and fun journeys and deep meditations.
So in honor of Spiritual Growth and with reverence to the Spirit of the Sage we are planning to add regular experiential groups for people like you to experience this God Given Sacrament (while it's still legal).
Everything comes with intentions for the highest good and the most learning so we will offer a lecture on the herbs and the traditional context (shamanism) of the herbal practices and we encourage you to do your own homework and research.
Check out the British documentary series: "Sacred Weeds" for more info on Salvia Divinorum and other herbs of the sacred sort. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4829797616419921428#
Please read sites like Erowid.org before experimenting with your own consciousness. And always be prepared for "safe journeys." We in no way recommend this or other herbs for any specific individual and we invite you to make responsible decisions with your body, mind, and soul.
For events check out meetup.com/alchemyZ
