I have had many experiences with Salvia divinorum, so it is difficult to select one to share with you. One particular trip does stand out, though.
It was late at night, around 1 AM I think. The house was dark except for a nightlight left on for the kids. I had taken some Kava Wave capsules around midnight to mellow out, hoping it would help me sleep. It did indeed make me mellow, but I was not sleepy. I had a gram of 40X Salvia divinorum extract from an excellent vendor, so I decided I would enjoy some at this time.
I turned on some music by Vas, filled the pipe, and took three successive hits. The initial impact was what I am accustomed too. A drastic loosening of my mind, a profound sense of becoming non-localized in time and space, a bit of anxiety, and powerful bodily sensations. I sat cross legged on the floor and closed my eyes.
Immediately I began to drift into a �place� that I refer to as the Realm of the Shepherdess. It is a fluid world of light pixels, populated by intelligent, but evasive beings. I remember very distinctly a sort of warning in my heart. I sensed that the being I refer to as the Shepherdess was not in a friendly mood. I sensed that she would try to lure me deeply into her world, then strike at me while I was defenseless.
At first, I disregarded this warning and allowed myself to �swim� in this beautiful realm. I lost sense of time, but I think it was a good 10 or 15 minutes before I decided to have 2 more hits. I opened my eyes and filled the bowl, taking two hits, and closed my eyes again. Strange thoughts entered my mind. I can't recall them exactly, but they seemed very ironic and even absurd at the time. It made me laugh. I laughed repeatedly as I sat cross legged, swaying energetically to the beautiful music of Vas.
After a few minutes, I was no longer distracted by my bodily sensations and I traveled deeper into the realm. I saw a great fortress, the door of which was closed. I knew immediately that this was her personal domain. I asked her to show herself to me. I had spoken with her before, but I have never seen her. She refused to show herself, but she invited me in to her domain. I asked how to get in. She replied that two more hits would unlock the door. I almost accepted her invitation, but suddenly the warning I had received earlier entered my mind forcefully.
