Okay, I think it’s safe to say that we all have our own unique ways of contacting/communicating with the Gods & Goddesses. Be it prayer, meditation, or even just taking a walk in a forest. So here’s my question: Is the use of medicinal herbs, i.e marijuana, a valid way to help ones self connect and even speak with them? I personally think it’s fine, but I’m curious what you all have to say. ---

I’d say it’s quite valid. Mind and perception altering substances enjoy a long history in spiritual practices around the world. ---

I have read so many books and researched it online … I am so intrigued and want to do so much more … I did the summer solstice ritual, and it didn’t quit go so good but that is only because I recently got put on Oxygen this past April and I am having problems with my breathing, and I am looking to do some cleansing spells and such on my health and lungs … I had fun doing the ritual and my husband helped me do it … I just don’t know it I did it right lol … I mean is there a right or wrong way to doing rituals and spells … ---

Personally I do not think there is a right or wrong way to do spells as spells are based on your intentions. The worst that can happen is they don’t work. Even the tools ( candles, crystals, etc ) are not necessary. The tools can help you focus your energy & intentions & they are fun, but you don’t need them to do spells. So welcome sister! You are on a path of beauty, love & blessings. ---

I think it’s as valid as any other plant. I used to partake in it when I was younger, prior to becoming a pagan witch. It is wonderful for focus ---

Personally it is a method I have used many times.. My connection felt stronger as well. It’s not my go to for communicating with my deities since I can’t smoke or ingest it at anytime of the day generally. But when I have the time, I thoroughly enjoy it.
