I finally did it!
I have been facinated with the work of zoe7 for a long time now. He combined ayahuasca with salvia divinorum and logged his experiences in his book "back from the void". I have only read parts of the book online that I can find but it was enough to get my attention. I spent alot of time with smoked salvia at one point a few years back..but really only touched it 2 or 3 in the last 2 years.
I smoked a tiny bowl of plain leaf a few weeks ago just sort of randomly becasue I have so much of it, and I had some leaves drying from one of my plants that I took cuttings from..so I smoked a few small hits and it brought me right back to that place as if I had never left..so since then I have been thinking a bit more about all of this..
Last night I decided to do it. I dont really have much of a desire to smoke salvia anymore becasue quidding is so much more friendly I find. I just felt for so long that a light salvia quid would go with ayahuasca perfectly..like she wants to be taken this way..I have in the past smoked salvia and DMT together and that always went so well..
SO I drank a lighter dose of ayahuasca. 40g of caapi with maybe half a gram of chaliponga if that and a similar ammount of mimosa..I chased it with another gram of a mimosa only brew. I could feel the light dose of ayahuasca comming on within minutes and I had chosen 2 large dry salvia leaves to rehydrate and quid. I dont like chopping leaves off my plants to quid..so I only use fresh leaves when I take cuttings. I find rehydrated leaves are fine anyway.
I was first going to use 4 large leaves, but I chose to go for 2 instead becasue I am very sensitive to salvia and have never attmepted this before. I kept the quid in my mouth and chewed for about 15 minutes and then swallowed the whole thing. By the time I was ready to swallow it the salvia was becomming pronouced and I was easing into a very nice mellow and gentle ayahuasca experience.
Now..this was not potentiation as much as it was synergy. Both of these medicines I felt wanted this to happen. There was a definite plant based presense communicating with me, on a level I have not experienced with either ayahuasca or salvia alone. I couldnt really believe that 2 leaves had such an effect..the salvia and ayahuasca seemed to merge perfectly into one being that was capable of more than either is alone. The DMT was brought out to a visionary level..where at that dose it would not have gotten too visual at all..and the salvia was not threatening or discomforting in any way. It was expremely ecstatic..the salvia was unfoling the dimensional space in and around me with my eyes blindfolded in bed, and the DMT was coloring the visions in the salvia space..and the vine was binding it all together like a superconductor pulsing though the space with pure life energy. It had all the dimensional qualities of salvia, and the plant mind presense, but into the space it drew the content of the ayahuasca dreams..
With ayahuasca there is usually these harmala dreams that happen in an actaul dream like space..you feel asleap as they happen and then snap out of it to regain consciousness and you remember parts of it..this was like the salvia opened up another dimenson and brought me into it consciousily and the caapi dream sequences just poured into the space with the DMT lighting it all up. It was very much like a Pablo Amaringo painting.
I felt ecstatic..I felt sooooo good. I was not disoriented..at any time I could get up and drink some juice or go to the bathroom etc..
I remember it starting with this shaman sort of appearing in the space with a big feathered headdress on, then this huge tree sort of grew out of me, my body actaully stretching out with the growth of the tree as it became a giant old groth..I would spin and twist in half and be spat out into some other dimension which is normal with salvia, but the twisting would form jeweled surfaces and geometric landscapes..
I cant really explain how amazing it felt..it was as if my bio-electric field had been supercharged and the plants were doing some deep energetic work on me..it was very very beautiful.
The peak did not last too long..maybe 35-40 minutes. With larger doses it might go longer I am not sure. Once I felt the peak was over I was left with more of a normal ayahuasca glow but shifted somewhat in a very positive way. The afterglow was amazing. I drank a bit more caapi and then I grabbed my glass bubbler and loaded up some changa in the dark and took little hits until it was all starting to happen and lay back again..this time the DMT zoomed in and took me off into a visionary world unlike I am used to with smoked DMT. It was again more Amaringo like with little creatures walking around and strange landscapes all glittering with the jeweled DMT surfaces..it wa obvious that the salvia was still working behind the scenes with the ayahuasca to constuct the visionary space, but it was unlike smoked salvia, or quidded salvia alone..just totally different.
This was one of the most facinating psychedelic experiences I have ever had. I will definatily be exploring this more. Anyone who loves both of these medicines I think would love this combination in the right doses. I feel that both ayahuasca and salvia wanted to be combined. It becomes another medicine that I know is deeper than I can imagine. I could tell I had only touched the tip of this thing.
