Morning Glory Seeds - Ipomoea violacea
Although there is much controversy regarding the place Morning Glories hold in Shamanic tradition, there is plenty of relatively undocumented evidence that points to extensive ritualistic use by at least the Aztecs. From our extensive travels to the regions where this plant still exists in its natural habitat, we have uncovered a history that is never recorded in traditional accounts of Aztec culture, including their reverence for many entheogens besides the sacred Morning Glory. In fact, it turns out that they incorporated many psychoactive and visionary herbs into their religious rituals. A few key examples include Pulque, which is made from fermented Agave sap, Peyote Buttons (as do the Native American Indians), Datura flowers and seeds (which we have personally seen growing on the mountains of Machu Picchu), psilocybin, Black Nightshade, Shamanic Tobacco, and, yes; Morning Glory Seeds. In fact, the use of Morning Glory in Shamanic and ritualistic tradition extends throughout Mexico as the natives in Mexico in the Oaxaca region (famous for Maria Sabina's mushroom cults and the now infamous Salvia divinorum, Rivea corymbosa, and Calea Zacatechichi) believe that a powerful deity lives within the seeds. Since ingestion of these sacred botanicals has been deemed illegal in most parts of the world (a strange coincidence that powerful and dangerous psychoactives such as alcohol and tobacco are completely legal to ingest), we offer these botanical specimens as viable seeds for your own Shaman's Garden. They are easy to cultivate, and will practically grow themselves, year after year, regardless of climate. There is much more information in the Ipomoea violacea - Morning Glory article at Entheology.org.

that a deity lives within the seeds and they may not only have held Morning Glory quite sacred as a result, there's evidence that they may have used them ritualistically as well.
Today, the "Flying Saucers" variety is the rarest Morning Glory variety, and they are grown as a climbing vine with beautiful flowers. Seeds are organically grown and harvested. A great addition to any Shaman's Garden; these seeds can even be planted in cold climates as they will overwinter and grow a entirely new crop year after year.

Avid Morning Glory fans are typically familiar with this variety of Morning Glory known as the "Heavenly Blue" strain. These organic, untreated seeds provide a fast-growing climber that is extremely easy to take care of and a colorful addition to any Shaman's Garden. In fact, it's reported that many generations of Aztecs and natives in Mexico (Oaxaca region) believe
that a deity lives within the seeds and they may have not only held Morning Glory quite sacred, but they may have used either the seeds or the flowers from the plants ritualistically as well.
Today, the "Heavenly Blues" Ipomoea tricolor variety of Morning Glory seeds are the most widely sought of the Morning Glory, and stunningly beautiful flowers typically bloom during the first year as they amaze you at the speed in which they can climb. These untreated morning glory seeds (spraying with chemicals can not only weaken the strain, but it can greatly reduce germination rates as well) are organically grown and harvested.

The Pearly Gates variety of Morning Glories produce a vigorous growing vine (to 12 feet) with beautiful all-white flowers. These untreated seeds produce flowers quite similar to the Heavenly Blues, but the vivid white flowers are a nice break from the usual type of morning glories that avid gardeners are used to. Speaking, generations of Aztecs and natives in Mexico (Oaxaca region) reportedly believe
that a deity lives within the seeds and they may have held Morning Glory plants quite sacred as a result.
Today, the "Pearly Gates" variety are a widely sought Morning Glory, and as is the case with all our seeds here at the shop, our seeds are never sprayed with harmful chemicals or poisons. Not only does treating seeds have the potential to weaken the entire strain, they can also lower the germination rate as well. To maximize germination rates of our morning glory seeds, we only offer untreated seeds that are organically grown and harvested.

These rare seeds are related to Morning Glories, and come from Oaxaca, Mexico where they are cherished for both their history and the shamanic use. Reportedly, the priests and shamans held these plants sacred as a way to communicate with the spirit world. Now, though, this beautiful plant is a great addition to any garden, and the beautiful white flowers are a constant reminder of the historical significance of these gorgeous plants.
This prized plant provides only 1-2 seeds per flower, unlike Morning Glories that drop thousands of seeds per plant! But it's easy to grow, it's a fast-growing "viney" plant, and loves water and sunlight. It will quickly fill a windowsill. It's well worth the effort for any spiritual explorer wanting an exotic addition to their garden.
To maximize germination rates, these rare Rivea Corymbosa (Ololiuqui) seeds are untreated; they're never sprayed with poisons or harsh chemicals of any kind.
