Made from just datura stramonium-infused coconut oil and beeswax, this is a departure from my usual flying ointments, with far fewer ingredients, but no less powerful. My intent was to create a tool for deeper union with the spirit of Datura and the natural world; allowing the plant to lead wherever she wished to go.. My experience with this particular batch was intense, though pleasant, and because I used it right before sleep, my dreams were rich and vivid and I woke feeling that a message had been given and that it would be up to me to untangle it for myself. This is a certainly more potent batch than I’ve offered before.

Flying Ointments are an herbal preparation of psychoactive and non-psychoactive plants infused in fat and sometimes thickened with beeswax. These ointments are used to allow us to enter into altered consciousness where we can open the doors of perception to allow us to see and experience things we can’t see in our normal waking lives. Flying ointments can aid us in dreamwork, astral travel, deepening our relationships to spirits and deity, communing with the plant and animal worlds, and intensifying ritual experiences. Flying ointments can also aid in healing from traumas and from physical aches and pains.

Using your flying ointment: Setting is important. I like to dim the lights, find a quiet spot where I can lie prone, listen to ritualistic music, and light candles and incense. I also find that meditating to calm my mind is helpful. You may choose to set an intention, but be aware that these plants will take you where they want to take you. My preferred time to apply is while I’m preparing for bed. I’ve also used flying ointments in natural settings and if you have a safe space to do this, I wholeheartedly suggest doing so.

If you are using this ointment for pain management, you’ll use also start with a pea-sized amount, gauging the effects after 30 minutes, and you may opt to use more at that point. However, there is a difference between a dose for pain relief and the dose required for spirit flight, so you’ll want to stay on the lesser dosage end until you know how it affects you.

Start with a pea-sized amount of ointment. Apply to the soles of your feet and cover with socks, or apply to your chest or the back of your neck. Be careful not to get any in your eyes or mouth. Wait 30 minutes to gauge your reaction, applying more if you would like to intensify your experience. I find that using about a teaspoon to two teaspoons of this flying ointment is my threshold, but everyone will experience these plants differently. Please be aware that these are powerful plants and can be extremely unpleasant if too much is used. Start with less and work your way up. An allergy test should always be done when applying herbal preparations to your skin.

What to expect: You may first feel giggly and a little intoxicated. As time passes you may feel euphoric or dreamy and you should feel relaxed. Because some of these plants are soporifics, you may feel pleasantly tired and you may wish to drift off to sleep. Many people experience vivid or lucid dreams in this state.

Each tin contains approximately 52-56 grams of ointment. Please keep in a cool place to avoid melting.
