Today I tried smoking dried autumnalis leaf, without inhaling in the lungs - "cheek smoking" like they do with mapacho. I felt it's energy immediately. After smoking slightly over 1 cm square worth of leaf, I felt quite in a trance, and once again in a surprisingly strong energetically and emotionally vulnerable state.

It will likely be more meaningful to combine it with rue as it needs direction/force. The root in contrast does have a force/"speaking guidance" according to a few experiences I had years ago.

Amazing how dreamlike reality became with such a tiny amount of uninhaled leaf smoke.
