Satin bowerbird. (female)

A few critters I’ve seen around our backyard/block in recent months. I love the colour of the bower bird’s eyes.

SE=search engine. Traditionally Tibetans in Tibet have used Datura seeds and Wormwood for the big public Dharma transmissions, to get people in the mood. I find both these herbs very satisfying as incenses. Of course, Datura smoke is not only used as a psychoactive, but as an effective anti-asthmatic. Syrian rue is a traditional Persian incense, used at weddings to get the nuptials in the mood. In Japanese Zen temples Patchouli is a standard ingredient to calm the body/mind for sitting meditation. The Arabs use Agarwood as a psychoactive incense, I find it excellent to induce sleep. There's so much more, only scratching the surface, but for those interested check out Olfactory Rescue Service.
