We thank the Chicago Tribune for a balanced article on Salvia and a fair are respectful interview of our owner...While no single article can describe all of Salvia and what it is in terms of spirituality and medicinal uses, this was an excellent article and we hope all those interested in Salvia also view the Documentary to learn more. Those states that have condemned Salvia are displaying discrimination against Hispanic Catholics, Shamans and Spiritualist who use these sacred herb for spiritual and medicinal use.   We urge all those across this country to right their governor and tell them to say no to making Discrimination and Cultural and Religious Ignorance. 

You may purchase Salvia in Feb from our network, specifically  Rubys Mountain Magick, AND on The Country Goddess (will be shipped by Rubys Mountain Magick, our sister site   You may purchase Salvia-D Jan 25 2008.  We absolutely will not sell or ship it to any state where it is illegal to sell.  (Ruby's mountain Magick is lisc business in West Virginia).(FOR MORE INFO ABOUT SALVIA, SEE BELOW).

Video documentary now available for viewing.  WE URGE THOSE WHO USE SALVIA OR WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT TO VIEW Sacred Weeds Salvia Divinorum Documentary THIS IS A 60 MINUTE SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTARY, DIVIDED INTO 4 PARTS.  IT IS CONDUCTED BY 4 SCIENTISTS AND IS A TRUE JOURNALIST PIECE THOUGH THOUGHTFUL RESEARCH THAT COVERS THE CURRENT DAY RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL USES AS WELL AS THE PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SALVIA INCLUDING ITS USE FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES BY MEXICAN, SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICAN CULTURES.  IT DATES BACK TO THE AZTECS  AND IS USED BY THE MAZTECS TODAY FOR VISIONS OF THE HOLY MOTHER MARY AND FOR SHAMAN AND SPIRITUAL DIVINATION.  THIS EXPERTLY DONE VIDEO DOCUMENTS VISION QUESTS BY TWO SUBJECTS.  UNLIKE WHAT WE SEE IN MANY PARTS OF THE U.S. WHOSE NEWSPAPERS AND OTHER MEDIA PANDER TO SENSATIONALISM AND FEAR ABOUT SALVIA AND EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE OF SO CALLED TRADITIONAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE, THIS DOCUMENTARY IS BASED ON SCIENTIFIC FACT NOT UN-RESEARCHED HYPE, BIAS OR RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION. You must be 18 to purchase Salvia in our store and 21 to purchase the tincture-ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS! We card I.D.'s and even have a higher age requirement for some salvia products than the law requires, the non tea variety of the plant is kept behind glass.  

AVAILABILITY AND MORE...Salvia will be Made illegal to sell in Illinois as of Jan 1st 2008. Since this law has taken affect as of Jan. 1st 2008, we no longer sell in our store BUT WE DO SELL IT THROUGH our Country Goddess website.  However, THE ACTUAL SELLER IS, our sister site, Rubys Mountain Magick will began selling it FEB from another state (WVA) where we are preparing to open a new retail location including an online website and magazine.  Portions of the proceeds with benefit a number of charities.  Rubys Mounatin Magick, can not of-course ship where it illegal to possess and again we will NOT BE SHIPPING FROM ILLINOIS nor SELLING FROM ILLINOIS). WE WISH OUR SISTER LOCATION AND ITS NEW MAGAZINE/RETAIL SITE THE BEST OF LUCK!  We will update you on more info regarding purchasing and protecting this highly spiritual plant as it becomes available.
