Nicotiana Rustica Spirit // Mapacho Flower Essence
Ancient Grandfather Tobacco, known as Mapacho, is a revered and sacred medicine to many Indigenous Peoples. Known as a master plant, messenger, protector, and a healer, he becomes a powerful ally when approached with the utmost honour, deep reverence, and humility. Throughout my journey, I have learned a lot from Tobacco, with the most significant lesson being the importance of always maintaining integrity and engaging with plants in a reciprocal manner. Seeing them as sentient beings, rather than objectifying them or taking without giving back in return. I have dedicated several years to working with Tobacco Spirit and physical medicine in a ceremonial way. I have also been growing + tending to the tobacco plant for the sixth year now, which allowed me to connect more intimately with them.
It felt very special to craft this flower essence. I felt a strong calling to use the sacred smoke of Mapacho to bless my space, center myself, and carry my prayers and intentions up to the heavens. This year's Tobacco Spirit insisted on including the leaves, which felt deeply significant, as they are, of course, a BIG part of the medicine.
The flower essence of Nicotiana Rustica brings a sense of clarity, focus, strength, and protection. It acts as a powerful medicine for grounding and purifying the mind, body, and spirit, clearing away obstacles, attachments and blockages that may exist within physical and energetic bodies. Tobacco sheds light on our own illusions, delusions, and destructive patterns, helping us confront deeply buried wounds and addressing perhaps those aspects of our lives that were simply too painful to acknowledge in the past. Tobacco Spirit lovingly holds your hand as you embark on the journey of revisiting painful or traumatic events, always accompanied by compassion, love & zero judgment, however, He will guide you to own your parts, and take responsibility + accountability. This support allows us to cultivate a deeper sense of compassion for ourselves as well as for others in our lives. Tobacco aids us in feeling more centered and grounded within our bodies and fosters a greater connection to the Earth and all of Creation, amplifying our intentions and prayers. Tobacco Spirit helps us cleanse + purge all that isn’t in alignment with the current version of our being. Tobacco has shared with me such a powerful wisdom: any story we live can be re-written at any moment, if we simply grant ourselves the permission to embrace that change.
This medicine can be worked with if one is genuinely seeking to quit smoking. Once again, our intentions, approach, commitment, and prayers are all incredibly powerful instruments in this process. We must first be willing to put in the necessary work, embracing the journey with the assistance of plants. Tobacco, in his own way, encourages us to deeply examine our relationships—with ourselves, with others, substances.
How to work with Tobacco Spirit:
Ritualise your intentions :) Tobacco is a powerful medicine. I suggest creating an altar, taking an intentional journey. Flower medicines are very intuitive, so let your heart lead the way. Inviting consciousness of Tobacco to work with you, through you and around you.
Take 2-4 drops under tongue, or in water up to 4x/day, or as needed. Noticing anything arising, maybe having a journal, spending more time in the woods, by the water, or practice that feels right to you. Pay attention to your dreams, synchronicities. Listen. Give gratitude + offerings.
**Please note this remedy is vibrational, created in Ceremony, with love, care, deepest respect, and in alignment w planetary energies. Contains energetic signature of Nicotiana Rustica flowers & leaves + Spring water + Brandy to preserve the essence. No physical constituents of the plant. Mapacho plants grown from seeds in my medicine garden.
