HR} I had one experience with Datura.  Oh, boy!

I don't mean to get off the subject of Magick, (which in some eyes, I might 
not be), but could you please tell me about it?  I've been thinking (when I 
can ever get a hold of it, as the corner herb store keeps saying to try back 
in a week) about taking it, but all I hear is bad stories.. Which of course 
has the oppposite effect on me that it should, my teen-rebellion won't end 
until way after my 40's.. Anyway, if you could talk about it that would be 
nice... Tnx

certainly a valid interpretation.  i think it could easily be carried over 
into other "esotoric" practices as well.  certainly, reading tarot is good 
exercise in integrative thinking - one deduces patterns from a random array. 
etc.,etc.  it would tend to lend credance to those who propose that magic(k) 
is completely of the mind.

Datura is extremely dangerous.  It was a very bad experience...bloody 
aztec crucifixions that would not go away.  Not recommended in the hands 
of the inexperienced...AT ALL.

About Datura (another question, sorry to be so pesky)

How VIOLENT is it?  Does it make you want to go out and kill people, or does 
it just make you see skeletons coming out of the fire to kill you?

In a way, does it affect/effect your BEHAVIOR or you PERCEPTION?
