Mother Salvia

Salvia divinorum commonly materializes as a female, la hembra, both to the indigenous Mazatec shamans and even to outsiders. The lady is Mother Salvia. She is dubbed ‘Sally,’ shy and modest and speaks with a quiet voice. She has been assimilated to Christianity as the Virgin Mary, but identified as a shepherdess, la pastora. This is not an attribute of the Virgin and indicates a Pre-Conquest persona. She appears wise and imparts knowledge for personal growth, but also can be angered if consumed without due reverence or when combined trivially with other intoxicants beneath her status.

Traditionally, due respect requires abstinence from sex and alcohol for a period of days both before and after the consultation. The preparatory abstinence may make chemical sense, but reportedly infringing upon the ban within the proscribed period after the experience, even just with sex, can have dire consequences. This cannot be explained rationally as a side effect of any medicine.
