Prima Materia
The Calcinator
Greetings!
I was thinking about a possible article that could be included in the next issue of The Nexian. The idea I came up with is about the very well known and appreciated plant in the dmt-nexus community, called Syrian rue (Peganum harmala), Harmala, ... etc.
This article would contain a variety of topics from the plant's history, historical uses, importance in religion, medicinal value, different ways of preparation and use of the plant, information about it's main constituents, descriptions/reports about the subjective experience, it's pharmacology, biological effects, possible use as a pest control, how to grow the plant and other interesting topics of relevance.
It seems there's a lot of information available on this plant and the idea with the article could also become a small booklet where all the important information is available in a useful/practical way.
We had a chat in the chat room with some of the members about this idea. I felt that it was well received and some members expressed they would be interested to help creating it.
I have started to gather various articles, books and other sources of information. A lot of information is contained also in the forums which deserve a proper searching and reading. If anyone has some files with good information we could share it.
I've made a simple word document file which contains a very crude index of the article/booklet. Different topics are mentioned, you can add new topics, and you can add text into the file, add pictures, etc.
We can have further discussion and brainstorming in the thread. I'm sure there will be good ideas which I'am very open and looking forward to.
EDIT:
Please join in with your ideas how the article/booklet would be designed, which topics would be more interesting and what would be the progression of the plant's story we want to tell.
