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.

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.
