To lose oneself in the bliss of union with another is to know the divine, if only for a moment. To understand, control, and expand that moment into every moment is the goal of the path known in the East as Tantra.

Many cultures understand our personal sexuality to be the microcosmic manifestation of the great union of the cosmic Lovers.

Whether your sexuality is as free and elevating as the ancient Tantric masters, or is on the road to becoming more rewarding, herbs can play a role in this joyous path.

Alchemically, the source of  plants' power to heal and enlighten us is their Mercury, or animating spirit.

Alchemically prepared, this Spirit connects with our own inner spark, opening us to other realms of being, and connecting our higher and lower selves.

From atoms to universes, the dance of opposites is the force holding all of creation together. May this dance unite you with your beloved!
