Hi,
I just had to jump in here, and let you know that such
rituals, and mind training, are not dead in todays world.
There are plenty of us out here who do these things. We are
labeled New Agers, Neo-Pagan, Wiccans, and just plan "NUTS."
There are books on the subject, that explain how to do this,
with and with out herbs, or other substances.
