Wow! Cactus is awesome. I sipped from a bottle of tea throughout the day for two days while hiking through some very powerful canyon. Many times the effects were very subtle, just an energizing thoughtful buzz. Then I would find myself sitting wandering in thought and reveling in the magic of the moment. We had an awesome encounter with an Owl, which allowed me chance to try and get to know the spirit of the Owl a little better.
Night time was very interesting, I did not fall asleep very easily, and spent many hours watching the stars and listening to the sounds of the insects singing and the bats chirping and diving. As I layed there between wake and sleep in the mescaline head space, I had several CEV visuals of a geometric nature. The vibe was very warm and healing. I felt that there must be no way to wrong with cactus.
The next morning we starting moving down canyon towards the confluence of our slot canyon and the next larger canyon into which it feeds. The confluence of these to Canyons was very powerful, a cathedral. Coming out of the dark slot canyon we entered a beeautiful light filled canyon with 500ft walls rising on either side. Stepping from the dark to the warm light was like being reborn. I cried, tears of joy, for being blessed with the beauty of this moment. I will never forget the feeling of power and beauty exuded by this place. Releasing those tears was very powerful for me, the tears were my offering for the countless blessings I have been afforded. I am a lucky man.
I now consider Mescalito a personl ally, this great medicine seemed to resonate with me very strongly.
Blessings,
Once
