Morning Glory (Ipomoea tricolor)

The Plant

A fast-growing annual vine with heart-shaped leaves and trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of "Heavenly Blue." The flowers bloom at dawn and fade by the afternoon.

Known For

While famous as a garden ornamental, certain varieties have a long history of use by Aztec and Zapotec healers. The seeds contain LSA, which has potent psychoactive properties.

Energetic Properties

It is an upward-climbing, expansive plant. It embodies the energy of rapid growth and seeking the light. However, its seeds can carry a "heavy" and sometimes physically taxing energy if used improperly.

Spiritual Properties

The Morning Glory represents the ephemeral nature of life: beauty that blooms and fades in a single day. Historically, it was used to induce visions and commune with the gods.

It is a plant of "inner sight" and spiritual awakening, teaching the user about the cycles of life, death, and the beauty of the present moment.
