Prehistoric ceramic vessels of the pre-contact Mississippian peoples of the midwestern and eastern USA (800-1600 CE) containing datura residue from a datura ritual preparation believed to be used to enter the dream world to communicate with spirits and deities.

All the vessels that tested positive for datura featured symbols of the watery underworld: frogs, turtles, supernatural water serpents, the underwater panther, and the god and goddess of the “beneath world”. The female figure on the left is believed to be “Old Woman Who Never Dies” —goddess of the moon and the underworld.

okay so insane story

someone at the farm was weed-whacking a bunch of jimsonweed and horsenettle and got some debris in their eye

those are both in the nightshade family and contain atropine, so their eye was just dilated for like, 3 days straight

new nightmare fuel 😀

We've had a huge Datura plant in the yard for a few years now, but the amount of volunteers and the sheer size of the blooms are crazy this year {see last photo for size comparison}. I've always loved them. Especially out in the garden at night. They just glow.

Devils Trumpet or Datura stramonium

Wanna hallucinate to death?

Angel Trumpet  or Brugmansia suaveolens

Beautiful and deadly as well.

Datura veszélyes növény, a tudatlan felhasználók számára. Kincseket rejt, az értőknek, átvisz a nehéz időszakokon, horror álomképeivel megfűszerezi az alvásod. Tinktúrája védelmet ad, ha tudod hogyan kell használni. Baljós boszorkányság egyik fontos növénye.

The wikipedia page for this plant is one of the best things I have ever stumbled upon.

One of the common names is "devil's cucumber."

From the wikipedia page-

In the United States the plant is called "jimsonweed", or more rarely "Jamestown weed" deriving from the town of Jamestown, Virginia, where English soldiers consumed it while attempting to suppress Bacon's Rebellion. They spent 11 days in altered mental states:

The James-Town Weed (which resembles the Thorny Apple of Peru, and I take to be the plant so call'd) is supposed to be one of the greatest coolers in the world. This being an early plant, was gather'd very young for a boil'd salad, by some of the soldiers sent thither to quell the rebellion of Bacon (1676); and some of them ate plentifully of it, the effect of which was a very pleasant comedy, for they turned natural fools upon it for several days: one would blow up a feather in the air; another would dart straws at it with much fury; and another, stark naked, was sitting up in a corner like a monkey, grinning and making mows [grimaces] at them; a fourth would fondly kiss and paw his companions, and sneer in their faces with a countenance more antic than any in a Dutch droll. In this frantic condition they were confined, lest they should, in their folly, destroy themselves—though it was observed that all their actions were full of innocence and good nature. Indeed, they were not very cleanly; for they would have wallowed in their own excrements if they had not been prevented. A thousand such simple tricks they played, and after eleven days returned themselves again, not remembering anything that had passed.

— Robert Beverley, Jr., The History and Present State of Virginia, Book II: Of the Natural Product and Conveniencies in Its Unimprov'd State, Before the English Went Thither, 1705

The datura and it’s lore – these are the dark variant and curiosities prints from my March herbologist rewards 🌟🌛 this spiky little plant is one of the original witches weeds, used in poisonings and potions throughout history!

Past Photo Favorites - Sacred Datura Flowers AKA Western Jimsonweed A Favorite Flower of artist Georgia O’Keeffe. More from Wikipedia: “Datura stramonium, known by the English names jimsonweed or devil's snare, is a plant in the nightshade family. It is believed to have originated in Mexico, but has now become naturalized in many other regions. Other common names for D. stramonium include thornapple and moon flower, and it has the Spanish name toloache. Other names for the plant include hell's bells, devil's trumpet, devil's weed, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, pricklyburr, false castor oil plant, devil's cucumber, and thornapple. Datura has been used in traditional medicine to relieve asthma symptoms and as an analgesic during surgery or bonesetting. It is also a powerful hallucinogen and deliriant, which is used entheogenically for the intense visions it produces. However, the tropane alkaloids responsible for both the medicinal and hallucinogenic properties are fatally toxic in only slightly higher amounts than the medicinal dosage, and careless use often results in hospitalizations and deaths.” - Wikipedia #PastPhotoFavorites #SacredDatura #Jimsonweed #WesternJimsonweed #GeorgiaOKeeffeFlower #Flowers #NewMexicoFlowers #Naturalist #PhotoByJeriRae (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzzqjGPHjA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
