Ahhh,my Caapi she is the great mother of plants.
My relationship with her is difficult for others to understand.
Anyhow, she puts me thru a lot of stress and worry.
Ok some background,
She is about 8 years old and growing very well up an ornamental peach.
I have lost a Caapi during the winter before so I am always worried about that.
She survived OK but has just been hammered by all this wind.
She was all but completely de foliated.
Prayers.caressing,superthrive,lots of pond water etc etc thank Pan she is now shooting all over.
Many cuttings for the future will be taken soon,a great relief.
Ok,so I will start the story.
The Caapi and the Peach have been going fine together.
Mind you I was completely prepared to sacrifice the peach to the Caapi if that be the case.
Didnt seem to be so until this season.
The peach barely flowered at all,one feeble show on a branch without caapi.
And now,it is only shooting leaves where the caapi is not present (which is not too much)
Sure the Caapi snakes beautifully around a few branches,but not enough to strangle the thing to death.
And yes,my new concern is that,where the peach shaded the Caapi from the burning Summer sun,she will be exposed to that now.
So finally,here is my question for the forum.
Is this a known characteristic that Caapi will eventually kill its host tree?
Dont sneer but I have seen my Caapi's spirit and it is the most powerful plant vision I have seen.
I wouldnt be surprised if she was too much of a burden for the peach to carry.
Ok so you are all going to ask for pics,I cant take any new ones,
I can only post some from 2 years ago,when the health of both plants was in harmony
At least you can see my darling in all her splendor.
I cant wait till she looks like Pic 3 again this season
I will drink a cup of her tea every week,just to be part of her.

Yeah a great site, I just contacted them,very helpful,I grabbed a few things Ive been looking for for ages.
Unfortunately they dont have a any Rue.
Gave me lots of advise for growing from seed. Doesn't like too wet a mix,like use sand and perlite,needs to be raised in a shady spot for the first year.

Ive had precious stuff nicked and it does your head in.
Once you get over the loss,you have the constant uncertainty of who it was,you lose trust in people.
Then,even with the kind folks here offering replacements,you are always going to be fretting over further violation of your space.
You can end up agoraphobic,not wanting to leave your stuff.
I sold my old house after a robbery,just to move on from the package of anguishes.
Having read all this thread,I think the key might lie in your membership to the Cactus club.
That gives your collection a wide profile,to those with a specific interest.
Seek you answers there.
You have a lot of genuine sympathy coming from this forum,from dudes who know how to project it.
I hope this energy helps you thru this shit.
-
I find people in Aust dont say cacti much,
what I mean is everyone who sees my garden says ,"shit! look at all ya cactuses.you got cactus everywhere."
But I hope you get an answer to your question.
Most everybody else is going to tell you of the current legalities of despatchin stuff to WA.
Hope you can find some locals who can help you get up to speed.

Yeah,I dont smoke anything else,but I dont mind the occasional cigar with 4 fingers of single malt,after a hard week at work.
I buy a $10 cigar,anything less ia a bit rough.
I will be interested to see the recommendations if this thread takes off,as I have my 50th birthday in a few months.
I just found a vintage port from my birthyear 1960 on the net, and I do want to get some really good cigars to go with it.
-
Great pics,what a place!
Is the stuff in the coke bottles in the markets pictures cactus juice or ayah?

My last,recent outing,12gdried sub with 1000mg vit C tablet beforehand.
Definitely a home alone,doors locked,phone off the hook job.
You cant muck around if you are really wanting to experience the power and possibilities of this magik.
Yes,it does get hectic for a while,but getting past that there are true wonders.
I find the best results are gained from being outdoors in tune my garden.
The difference between lying on the lounge and lying under my caapi or brug canopy are incomparable.
Exploiting this phenomenon even further.I made a bed of pine needles,under my caapi,from the subs forest,containing whatever myc,etc.
The response from the shrooms was incredible,potentiating the visionary/intuitive components untold.
In addition,it cannot be stressed enough how much the moon has to play in all this.
Choose a night when the full moon hangs overhead,and you will get a major extra synergy.
In summary,I think it is a waste of subs to take them indoors,they dont like it and will probably put you on a downer for wasting them.
-
Nice and healthy,no scale,little scaring,doing very well for pots.
-
Your lucky to have seen them.
I have a few of their countless albums and agree they are perfect for that trippy occasion.
Dont know why the guitarist has not got more credit,over the years,as he has great chops.

I am learning how to appreciate my plants on a new level,getting a greater sense of their being and aura for want of a better word.
They are living things,so they have a life force and with it a vibe.
This reminds me of something slightly off topic i read in the paper the other day.
Study: Plants Capable of Communication
According to a study carried out by scientists from the University of California and Kyoto University published in the journal Ecology Letters that plants are capable of communicating with each other.
The scientists found that sagebrush plants were able to warn cuttings that were genetically identical of danger and cooperate to thwart grasshoppers. Scientists suspect that the plants might communicate by emitting volatile cues.
"Plants not only respond to reliable cues in their environments, but also produce cues that communicate with other plants and with other organisms, such as pollinators, seed disperses, herbivores and enemies of those herbivores," said Prof. Karban.
If that aint vibes...what is?

I recently had a defoliation of my maidenii by the Electricity Commission.
Yeah I planted it under my power lines, I didn't think it would grow like a magic beanstalk,
Anyhow came home to a massive pile of "material".
Not being a chemist I had not much choice to mulch the leaf and branches,and put around my other ethnos.
I have kept the larger branches,with nice bark,anybody on the Central coast is welcome to it.
-
Ok Hunab,just for you a glimpse.
It all should go in a seperate thread one day,and it anit exactly voodoo.
Ok course you know u are always welcome to visit,and check it for yourself
Here is Tenzing,very old,very high lama.
Here is Lobsang.He is even older as he is...beleive it or not,the previous incarnation of Tenzing.
Here is Jetsun.Full skull with engraved inner .
Now i dont currently have a camera so this aint my actual special drum,called a Damaru,but this archive pic is very similar
I have others too but no pics.
All the little skulls around them symbolise all the incarnations these monks went thru to get to the high level they were esteemed for during there life.
They would have known like maybe the 11th or 12th Dalai Lama,our current being the 14th.
They come from a different time and place,may as well been a different planet.
They would have chanted and meditated as vegetarians all their life,I get an amazing sense of all that,especially when I trip with them.
They would have had their own shrine and been attended to by the young monks with offerings etc.
They were smuggled out of Tibet so as not to be desecrated by the Chinese.
What safer place to hide than a sleepy little town on the Central Coast with a dude who is totally into their welfare.
They came to me,and attracted some of their mates...........believe it or not.
Maybe all those childhood seances and hanging out in graveyards so long ago.

I have been trying to work out an explaination to the ouiji mysteries i experienced as a young teen.
We always made our own board/letters and used a glass on a smooth surface.Stuff Milton Bradley.
The best results were when it was just a friend and myself.
We would have a sleepover every Fri night and do it.
We would always get some treats,packets of smarties and lollies.
Now here is the thing,we would put the empty lolly packets on the edge of a table ,often a long way away.
And we would ask the spirit to knock over the packet, we would concentrate as we repeadedly asked.
And the ###### would start to wobble and wammo,fall over.We could repeat this with nearly 100% results.
The explaination I since beleive was our massive pre-pubescent energies.
We just had a way to channel it. My mate and I just had a great connection and we could hook up our energy.
Of course we had to go overboard and go over the top.
We lived near a huge overrun cemetery,that we knew like the back of our hand.
And we started having sessions in tombs that had been broken into(not by us......another story)
Things started getting spooky,the glass flying off the table at one stage.
Once I got totally spooked,like we had attracted a bad energy,and we never done it again.
Or we had unearthed a really dark part of our minds.
Soon after that the Exorsist came out and that scared everybody off ouija,as it was a popular fad,like yo-yos or dingbats at the time.
We thanked #### that we didnt end up possessed.Or deranged.
I have always wondered if I could ever replicate that phenomenon.But I have always been reluctant since.
Anyhow,it wasnt long after that we discovered drugs,$30 ounces $8 buddha sticks and great acid.
So our explorations of the other side were from this new found perspective.
I have since always attracted Tibetan skulls and skullbowls into my life and have a great and precious collection....another story...
And the other night whilst on 8grams of dried sub I had the most mystical experiences with my skulls.
And i was alone but I was not alone......yes another story.
So to conclude, in the intricate doctrines of Tibetan Skull doctrine,the most powerful skulls are those of pre-pubescent boys.
That potential,yet untapped life force is a powerful tool in thier shamanic practice.
And yes I have a skulldrum made from 2 young skulls,with the drumskin made from human flesh.
A very powerful tool,that I used to good sucess the other night.

The ABC gardening program had a segment on shitake grown in/on oak logs.
They have myc filled dowels they insert into the wood.
Wait ,quite a while and bingo.
Does look like a cool set up and a great hobby.
An outfit in Vic has all the info.

Thanks for your open and honest reporting of your experiments and adventuring.
Those who dont know the true power of earth picked shrooms might mock.
Those who respect the power,know that what you experienced is as true to you as any other experience.
And hey,if you are deluded,it will be worth it if it motivates you to get off the fags,and get your own nature in shape.
I hope you succeed and are granted your power.
You have strived for a long time down the psychedelic path,I personally think you are close to being an urban shaman.
You are charting the territory that most just read about.

Hi Hunab,
My plants are also hanging in thru the cold.
I lost a Caapi one cold winter but my well established one is doing fine,no need to fret about some sad looking leaves.
My Viridus needs some mothering even in my hothouse,besides the constant war with the ants, a few new shoots are a bit brown on the ends.
I am a tad worried but I am sure they will pull thru.What is the soil mix you use with yours?
My Mimosa.......from your seedlings have slowed down a lot,no leaf drop.
My Datura had a bunch of seed pods,some were not "spored" and shriveled up but one cracked open whilst on the plant to reveal a lovely bunch of seeds,
so just leave it be and it will let you know when it is ready.
I will be glad if somebody can shed light on the holes in the Brug.
Last night I had an extraordinary journey, something truly magical,and took a look at the energy or "spirit" of my ethno plants.
Each gave a distinct individual vision,and Im glad to report that on that level they are all doing wonderful.
And yes the Caapi is the mother of them all, I really treasure that plant,its vibe and my relationship with it.
Then I had a "visitor"........but that story probably belongs in your telepathy thread.
Your garden is going good,it is just as much thru your passion,intentions,and energy as it is your soil mixes and knowledge.
Best wishes to you bro.

Gooday Hunab,
I just read this thread,its been a few months since I visited this site.
I am glad you had a big mental adventure,and got to that place you have been striving for, for so long.
I hope you dont mind me clarifying to the folks here, that I have met Hunab,who is as open and honest in the flesh as he is on this forum.
He absolutely idolizes his lovely daughter and she lives in a safe and loving household.
He is very educated and experienced in psychedelics.
The thing that strikes a chord to me in the trip report is not so much the "telepathy"or dosage stuff, but the emotional stuff.
When I have gone right out there,there is always an emotional stage of tears and those life recall memories.
Yes it is often intertwined with the emotion over the beauty and wonder of the "unseen world".
When they talk of psychedelics being used as a healing agent, it is this opportunity to examine and resolve that deep psychological stuff,
and when you are at that point it can be a perfect healing opportunity.
The crying is an emotional purge and you should let it out.
Spew out all the negative stuff with it and resolve to be a better ,wiser person at the end of the trip.
You said that you wrote to your son during your experience,did you send the e-mail?
Did it make sense the next day?
Was everything OK?
I sincerely hope you can now resolve those issues you have in your past.
Anyhow,good to see you are still giving this forum some juicy topics.
And I am a bit jealous of your having all those lovelies for yourself.
Cheers mate,
Col.

Gooday Hunab,
Put me down for a yep for life out there.
I cant wait for them to find microbes on Mars and start to dismantle the credibility of the major brainwashers/religions a step further.
I just received my copy from Amazon of Rick Strassmans new book,"Inner Paths to Outer Space: Journeys to Alien Worlds through Psychedelics and Other Spiritual Technologies"
For thousands of years, voyagers of inner space--spiritual seekers, shamans, and psychoactive drug users--have returned from their inner imaginal travels reporting encounters with alien intelligences. Inner Paths to Outer Space presents an innovative examination of how we can reach these other dimensions of existence and contact otherworldly beings. Based on their more than 60 combined years of research into the function of the brain, the authors reveal how psychoactive substances such as DMT allow the brain to bypass our five basic senses to unlock a multidimensional realm of existence where otherworldly communication occurs. They contend that our centuries-old search for alien life-forms has been misdirected and that the alien worlds reflected in visionary science fiction actually mirror the inner space world of our minds. The authors show that these “alien” worlds encountered through altered states of human awareness, either through the use of psychedelics or other methods, possess a sense of reality as great as, or greater than, those of the ordinary awareness perceived by our five senses.
“Those who regularly navigate the hyperspatial landscape that some have called the ‘tryptamine dimension’ have long suspected that the portals to inner and outer space may be one and the same. This book, a collaboration of the most cutting-edge shaman/neuroscientists working in this field, boldly explores this concept in a stunning tour de force.”
(Dennis McKenna, Ph.D., coauthor with Terence McKenna of The Invisible Landscape )
“The profoundest inquiries into the nature of reality and the mystery of consciousness are made possible by the psychedelics and other spiritual technologies explored in this astonishing, groundbreaking, and utterly revolutionary book. Written by the maestros of the field, it is exactly the right book at exactly the right time. I found it gripping, thought-provoking, incredibly informative, and--on top of all that--a hugely enjoyable read.”
(Graham Hancock, author of Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind and Fingerprints of the Gods )
Looks like a great read,and has lots of color plates of visionary art.
I am sure a lot of forum members have encountered the occasional alien.
Cheers mate.

Thanks again for your kind replies all.
To answer your questions,
Alas Mutant, the pictures of my garden growing are on my previous girlfriends camera.....not available im afraid.
And Inyan, the Psychotria are Carthaginensis unfortunately. Not much brewing potential apparently.
The shonky operator who sold it to me said it was viridis.
Identity was confirmed by the wise souls on this forum.
I do have some real ones from SAB mail order coming along nicely in the hothouse.
The Carth seeds like crazy and those little buggers just come up everywhere.
Isn't it a shame that Viridis don't grow as profusely as its cousin the Carth!
-
Well! Thanks for your compliments.
Hunab,the Madenii are 5yrs old and have not flowered yet.

Cheers.Torsten,
I will follow up on those threads.
Me and my Caapi.
in Ethnobotany
Posted
Ok,that is all good info.
Since the Caapi has been in ,that area has been generously watered, where previously it was never watered.
Yes,the one branch that flowered was sticking out in the sun.
Now I am having the peices fall into place.
There is a fucking huge feral camphor laurel next door both blocking the sun and sending out god knows what feeder roots.
In the positive aspect,I thought .....well if the peach shade goes,at least the laural will shade my Caapi.
Ironic that that thing,which I should have chainsawed down,when the old codger living there died years ago,will now protect the caapi
from the sun,but it is killing everything from below.
Probably all the goodies I give my Caapi have attracted more roots from that piece of shit.
You can see the monstrous thing in the background of pic 3.
Yes,I think that is the answer to the question.
What do you reckon?
