LSD: The Serpent’s Elixir of Sight Beyond Sight

Priestess Communing with LSD
Priestess Communing with LSD

Within the spirit of Mother Earth’s awakening landscape, there lies a crystalline key - an alchemical drop of rainbow fire known to the world as LSD. LSD ignites the inner 3rd eye vision, dances with the full spectrum of consciousness, and opens the crown and third eye to cascading light, colors, and multidimensional insight. Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD-25, is no mere chemical compound, it is a sacred threshold between the heavenly and earthly realms, a divine messenger of awakening whispered into existence by the spirit of the Eleusinian Mysteries and reborn in the modern age.

LSD and the Return of the Sacred Mysteries 

Eleusis, Delphi, Isis, and the Serpent Path Reawakened

Long before the temples were torn down, before the sacred groves were burned and the priestesses silenced, there existed Mystery schools where spirit and soul were nourished through sacred ritual. In these sanctuaries - Eleusis, Delphi, and the temples of Isis - the divine feminine was honored as the source of life, death, and rebirth. And in each of these holy places, visionary experience was not a crime nor an aberration, but a sacred rite of passage.

Demeter and Persephone Goddesses of Temple of Eleusis

At the ancient Sanctuary of the Goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone - at Eleusis in Greece, initiates of the Eleusian Mysteries drank the kykeon, a sacred brew believed to contain ergot-derived alkaloids, compounds that echo the chemical structure of LSD. This rite, veiled in secrecy, led seekers through symbolic death, descent, and radiant return. Scholars such as R. Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann, and Carl A. P. Ruck proposed in their seminal work The Road to Eleusis that this was the origin of the Western psychedelic lineage.

"It is reasonable to believe that a powerful entheogen like LSD shares an ancient ancestry with the sacred drink of Eleusis, and that its emergence in modern times is a rebirth of the Mysteries in a world that has forgotten the sacred." - The Road to Eleusis (Wasson, Hofmann, Ruck, 2008)

Yet Eleusis was not alone.

Priestesses of Pythia
Priestesses of Pythia

In the Temple of Delphi, the Oracle - often a woman known as the Pythia , sat upon a sacred tripod above an underground chamber, where vapors rose from the earth or were conjured within the temple’s hidden recesses. Whether born of fault lines beneath the temple or prepared through sacred artifice, these vapors opened the Oracle to altered states of consciousness, through which she became the living voice of the divine.

Scholars now suggest that natural gases like ethylene may have emerged from the Earth’s geological fractures, creating subtle trance effects. Others propose that ritual fumigations or herbal smoke may have played a role. These women, in altered states of vision, were the oracles of prophecy, and the Earth was the altar upon which their visions bloomed.

Priestess of Isis

Similarly, in the Temples of Isis, from Egypt to Greece and Rome, initiates walked the labyrinth of the soul through ritual, dream incubation, and divine communion. The High Priestesses of Isis were keepers of mystical knowledge, plant spirit medicines, anointing oils, and ecstatic, revelatory states of consciousness. Their work was not intellectual, it was experiential, sensual and deeply spiritual.



A Modern Initiatory Tool 

In our age, LSD has reemerged as a bridge to these ancient practices, not by copying their forms, but by reactivating their essence. As Stanislav Grof wrote, LSD is a “non-specific amplifier of the psyche,” making the unconscious visible and offering access to the same layers of reality once touched in the Mystery rites of the Priestesses of the Temples of Eleusis, Delphi, and Isis.

Through LSD, modern seekers may:

  • Experience ego death and spiritual rebirth, as at Eleusis

  • Receive intuitive prophecy and soul guidance, as at Delphi

  • Enter ecstatic union with the divine, as in the Temple of Isis

In our sacred  women’s ceremonies, which are guided with intention and reverence, LSD becomes a serpent-path initiator, awakening the ancient memory encoded in the DNA of every woman. We call forth our inner Oracle,  Priestess and Seer - in order to rekindle these aspects of ourselves from deep within.



The spirit of LSD was reborn through the wise gentle hands of chemist Albert Hofmann in the year 1938, a man unknowingly touched by the muse of divine remembrance. As he worked with ergot, a humble fungus growing upon rye, he synthesized LSD-25 in the sacred halls of Sandoz Laboratories in Switzerland. It would not be until five years later, in 1943, on the fabled “Bicycle Day”, that Hofmann, moved by intuitive call, ingested a minute amount and opened the veils of perception. He beheld the numinous: kaleidoscopic visions, expansion of heart and mind, and a cosmic dance of geometry and light. In his own words, he felt he had become “one with the eternal.”

Thus began the modern human encounter with this elixir of the Mysteries.

The Sacred Properties of LSD 

LSD is a semi-synthetic entheogen, derived from natural ergot alkaloids and crafted into crystalline form. Its effects awaken the third eye and dissolve the walls of ego, revealing the interconnected web of all life. A microgram of this essence can ripple the soul’s awareness into realms of universal truth.

The journey may last anywhere from 5 to 14 hours (depending on how much one ingests), and within this spiraling stretch of time, one may encounter:

  • Profound unity with nature and the cosmos

  • Emotional catharsis and spiritual purification

  • Synesthesia (the blending of senses)

  • Time distortion and visionary landscapes

  • Encounters with divine archetypes, deities, ancestors, spiritual guides and guardian angels

  • Awe, reverence, and mystical insight

LSD is not a toy of the mind but a sacred fire. It amplifies the inner state of the soul, and thus is best approached as one would approach an oracle - with humility, reverence, and sacred intention.

A History of Conscious Use 

Though born in the age of science, LSD quickly returned us to the ancient ways of ceremonial vision. In the 1950s and early 60s, before the tide of prohibition, LSD was embraced as a sacrament by mystics, therapists, and seekers of the divine current.

Dr. Stanislav Grof, a modern priest of the psyche, utilized LSD in depth psychology and spiritual rebirth. He called it the "microscope and telescope of the mind," enabling patients to access layers of the unconscious that traditional therapy could not reach.

Across the waters, Dr. Humphry Osmond and Aldous Huxley explored LSD’s potential to open the “doors of perception.” Huxley’s entheogenic writings echoed the ancient rites of Eleusis, where priestesses once guided initiates through death and rebirth.

In California’s sacred mountains, hills and forests, the countercultural bloom of the 1960s carried LSD as a ritual tool of awakening, love, rebellion, and divine union. The Merry Pranksters, Timothy Leary, and Ram Dass (then Richard Alpert) all honored LSD as a tool for spiritual liberation.

And yet, as with all powerful plant and spirit medicines, the sacred was met, by the patriarchal systems in place, with fear and the dissemination of misinformation on LSD was unleashed. The dictatorial systems feared the freedom LSD inspired - freedom of thought, of heart, of soul. And so, the chemical was outlawed, its rituals driven underground. But the Goddess does not vanish. She goes into shadows, only to rise again, stronger.

LSD in Therapy and Healing 

Today, the sacred serpent stirs once more.

LSD is returning through the gates of psychedelic therapy, now decriminalized in sacred pockets of the world and undergoing clinical trials. Research shows its power in healing trauma, depression, end-of-life anxiety, and addiction. Its ability to induce ego dissolution and mystical experience is key. Through this process, the wounded inner child may weep, dance, and release under the stars.

Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals that numb, LSD opens - offering initiates a chance to meet their pain with courage and grace. Under the guidance of trained psychonauts and therapists, it becomes a modern-day Grail Quest: a descent into the underworld to reclaim the soul’s lost fragments.

The Feminine Path of LSD
The Feminine Path of LSD

The Feminine Path of LSD 

LSD, though born of masculine science, carries a deeply feminine energy. She is lunar and serpentine, uncoiling the kundalini within and reuniting us with Gaia’s songs. She teaches surrender, trust, and fluid perception. In sacred ceremonies, guided by the rhythms of our drumming, our singing and the burning of celestial inspiring incense, she becomes a priestess whispering: “You are not separate. You are the starfire embodied. You are Love becoming.”

The Goddess speaks through LSD in symbols, visions, and waves of sensual knowing. She calls women to reclaim their spiritual gifts, their priestess lineages, their birthright as oracles and healers. She calls men to soften into the womb of being and remember the Earth as their Mother.

LSD shows us that the veils are thin, that magic is real, that healing is possible. She dissolves the boundaries that make us feel alone. In her light, the soul remembers its song.

Albert & Anita Hofmann: Eternal Keepers of the Serpent Flame 

Albert Hofmann (b. January 11, 1906 – d. April 29, 2008) carried clear vision and sharp intellect well into his later years. He often attributed his vitality to “mini‑doses” of LSD - around 20–25 micrograms. He described these as gentle stimulants for mood, cognition, and spiritual focus - “perhaps an alternative to Ritalin” reddit.com+1en.wikipedia.org+1pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+1reddit.com+1. Even at age 100, he proclaimed LSD a “medicine for the soul” and lamented its prohibition en.wikipedia.org.

His beloved wife Anita joined him in these journeys, together prefiguring a sacred union of heart, mind, and soul. Their shared reverence for LSD remained unwavering, and they continued to explore consciousness until his passing at 102, embodied proof that elderhood need not dim the mind, but can in fact preserve the human brain and radiate inner presence and purpose.



Neuroplasticity: LSD as an Elixir for the Aging Mind 

LSD’s Molecular Miracle

Preclinical and clinical research show LSD acts as a psychoplastogen - molecules that stimulate neural growth and adaptability. It elevates BDNF and activates mTOR and TrkB pathways, increasing dendritic spines and synaptic density in both animals and human-derived brain models frontiersin.org+3pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+3annualreviews.org+3. A landmark Experimental Neurology study (2022) found LSD-enhanced neural plasticity resulted in better visuo-spatial memory in humans and novel-object learning in rats mdpi.com+10sciencedirect.com+10reddit.com+10.

Clinical Echoes in Living Brains

A 2020 systematic review highlighted LSD, among other psychedelics, induces quick neuroplastic changes—strengthening cognitive and emotional resilience reddit.com+5pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+5en.wikipedia.org+5. Blood-level studies have shown low doses (5–20 µg) acutely increase BDNF, a key neuroplastic growth factor in humans reddit.com. A meta-analysis found psychedelic use correlates with elevated BDNF overall (SMD +0.26), suggesting better synaptic health reddit.com+3pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+3pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+3.

Behavioral & Cognitive Gains

A 2020 placebo-controlled study reported LSD boosts reward-learning rates, reflecting heightened synaptic plasticity blossomanalysis.com. While a 2024 review on microdosing found dose-dependent acute effects on mood and cognition - but no long-term impairment - ongoing controlled trials aim to verify sustained benefits reddit.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2reddit.com+2.

Women's Spirit Medicine Ceremony
Women's Spirit Medicine Ceremony

Closing Invocation & an Invitation to our Women’s Ceremonies held for our Church Members at our Plant Priestess Temple & Forest Sanctuary, here on the Sunshine Coast of BC 

Beloved sisters, from the sacred union of Albert and Anita to the unfolding revelations of modern science, LSD stands illuminated as both a spiritual sacrament and a brain tonic. 

As I prepare ceremonial offerings for women, I hold this sacrament with the utmost reverence and with clear intention:

  • Micro‑dosing for cognitive vitality and gentle emotional upliftment.

  • Full ceremonial journeys for healing trauma, releasing grief, igniting creativity and awakening the Goddess within every woman.

  • Integration circles for weaving insights into daily life - through singing, drumming, journaling, rituals, and sacred sister‑circles.

Each ceremony is held with Love, care, and the medicine’s legacy within our hearts. We honor the lineage of the Hofmanns, the wisdom of the ancients, and the clarity of our elders. Here, we steward LSD not as recreation but as sacred midwife - to birth the soul's remembrance, to fortify the mind’s resilience, to connect with our soul’s highest destiny and bring forth our gifts into this barren world that is craving for the collective awakening of the divine feminine. Historically,  it is the women who were the natural stewards of Mother Earth and, now,  it is the women who are midwifing and care taking the birth of the New Earth.

If you feel Her whisper, calling you home, if your mind longs for renewed brightness and your heart yearns for deeper anchoring - join us in ceremony. Let us gather as priestesses, as seekers, as wise ones - and let the spiral continue. Let the ceremonies we hold today not be seen as new, but as remembered.

We are the daughters of Delphi. We are the midwives of Eleusis. We are the priestesses of Isis, reborn through breath, through prayer, through the crystalline drop of rainbow vision.

LSD is not a drug - it is a doorway. Not a substance - but a sacrament. It comes not to entertain, but to initiate.

Let us meet this divine ally, as our ancestors once met the sacred vine, the sacred stone, the sacred flame - with open hearts, ready to remember the Mysteries once more.

Meet Renee Boje,
the Founder of Plant Priestess Temple

_edited.jpg

​

Beneath the emerald canopy of the ancient jungles and forests, in the dance of moonlit glades and the whispering songs of the Wind and the sacred rivers, the Wise Plant Spirit Medicines of Mother Earth call to us. They are the keepers of memory, the sentient breath of Gaia Herself, and the luminous threads that weave the tapestry of divine consciousness across the ages. It is through these holy sacraments that we remember, that we return to our essence, and that we reclaim our rightful place as stewards of Mother Earth.

​

For far too long, humanity has been lost in a collective amnesia, severed from the wisdom of the roots, the language of the mycelial web, and the sacred communion with the plant spirits. This forgetting has birthed desecration: forests laid bare, waters poisoned, creatures driven to extinction, and the heartbeat of Gaia growing faint beneath the weight of soulless industry.

​

This is the time of the great awakening. The Divine Feminine is rising once again, anointing the soil, stirring the roots, whispering to all who will listen: The time has come to remember. The time has come to awaken.

​

In the forgotten Temples of the Ancient Priestesses, the wise ones spoke of this time—a time when the Great Mother would call Her children back into harmony, when the priestesses would return, when the earthkeepers, the way-showers, and the lightbearers would rise to guide humanity home. The ancestors sing of the prophecy, the mycelial web hums with it, the sacred medicines whisper to all who have ears to hear. The New Earth is not a place we wait for. It is a world we birth collectively through our awakening.

​

We must not be fooled by the noise, the fear, the illusions of those who cling to what is fading. We must stand firm in our knowing. Gather in sacred circles. Together We weave the new reality through our prayers, our songs, our rituals. We Call upon our ancestors, the spirits of the land, the cosmic mothers and fathers who have waited for this very moment.

​

This is the age of embodiment, of sacred action. No longer can we simply dream of the New Earth. We must become it. We must walk as living altars, as breathing prayers, as luminous bridges between the seen and unseen realms. We must reclaim the ancient ways—tending the land, honoring the cycles, birthing a world infused with the divine.

​

We are the weavers of the New Earth. With every seed we plant, every river we bless, with every child we teach to walk in harmony, we are spinning the golden thread of the future. The shift is not coming—it is here, and it flows through us.

​

I offer my deepest gratitude to Mother Earth and her Plant Spirit Medicine Queendom. I truly believe these Ancient, Wise Master Plant Teachers hold the key to saving  Mother Earth & all life upon her from extinction. As more and more humans are beginning to wake from their slumber these magical botanicals are here to support us in the global expansion of consciousness that is sweeping across our planet now.

​

​

My path has been one of deep remembrance, weaving through the histories of goddess traditions, the wisdom of priestesses who have walked before us, and the spiritual communion between women and Mother Nature’s sacred herbal medicines. This devotion has shaped my life’s work, leading me to write Plant Spirit Medicines & the Divine Feminine, a book that illuminates the mystical bond between women and the plant spirit realm. It has also called me to offer women’s plant spirit medicine ceremonies, where we embark on sacred DIETAS with flower and herbal allies,  entering into profound relationships with these ancient wise teachers.

​

Women carry within their cellular memory the ability to birth spirit into matter. I believe that the re-emergence of the Mystical Divine Feminine is a sacred response to help Mother Earth in her rebirthing process. As the Goddess reclaims her place in the realms of Mother Earth, she reminds us that all of life is sacred and has a divine purpose. The Priestesses of Mother Earth understand that she is the body of the Goddess, and when we wake up to our divinity, recognize the divinity of Mother Earth, expand our consciousness, and deepen our capacity to Love, we have the ability to co-create Heaven on Earth once again. Respect for Mother Earth is deeply interwoven with respect for the Divine Feminine, for she is the matrix of creation. Our planet and all of life upon it depend on humanity's ability to uplift the feminine in her role as the matrix of creation, for it is through her that all things are born and re-born.

​

My journey as a plant priestess began long ago. In 2002, I birthed the Urban Shaman, Vancouver's first entheogen shop. Then in 2006 I passed the torch to another to run the Urban Shaman & birthed Shakti Blissful Botanicals, a beloved sanctuary on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, where one could experience the sensual delight of herbal-infused aphrodisiac pies, blissful botanical smoothies, and soul-nourishing teas. This passion continued through Plant Priestess Botanicals, my online herbal boutique, where I handcraft sacred herbal infusions imbued with the wisdom of Mother Earth. Yet, beyond the creation of herbal medicines, my deepest calling is to hold space for women to remember their own sacredness and to heal and step into their power. So I began running women's healing ceremonies every new moon & full moon at Shakti & we had a packed house every ceremony.

​

This calling, to support women in their healing, led me to the heart of the Amazon.  I received a spiritual calling to immerse myself in the plant spirit medicine traditions of Brazil. One night, during a medicine ceremony in Vancouver, a song was sung that vibrated through my very soul—a frequency of remembrance. When I inquired about its origin, I learned it was a sacred saiti, a medicine song of the Yawanawa Tribe. In that moment, I knew with every fiber of my being that I needed to find them, to sit at their feet, and to learn the ways of their ancestors.

​

Little did I know, destiny awaited me upon my arrival. As I stepped off the boat and into the Yawanawa village, I was greeted by a woman who would become my spiritual teacher—Putanny Yawanawa. Along with her sister Hushahu, Putanny was among the first women to walk the path of shamanism within their tribe, courageously reclaiming a role long held only by men. Under her guidance, I experienced profound healing, unraveling soul memories of lifetimes intertwined. Before leaving the village Putanny asked me to make a sacred promise to her that I would one day bring her to stay in my home on the Sunshine Coast and to hold ceremonies for our women's temple. This is a promise I hold dear to my heart and look forward to fulfilling.

​

Since that fateful journey, my heart has been woven into the sacred lineage of the Yawanawa. I have dedicated myself to building a bridge between their ancient wisdom and the lands I call home, honoring their songs, ceremonies, and traditions while doing all I can to support the preservation of their sacred ways. Their teachings pulse within the heartbeat of our beautiful ceremonies.

​

In our women’s healing gatherings, we weave together song, spirit, and ceremony. We sing medicine songs to honor the plant allies and nature spirits that guide us, we drum to awaken the rhythms of Mother earth within our bodies, we dance ecstatically to free our souls, and we craft sacred infusions—herbal anointing oils, ritual bath blends, and enchanted elixirs—so that each woman may carry the magic of the ceremony home with her. These gatherings are portals, places of remembrance where we reclaim our divine connection to Mother Earth and to our own sacred power as her Daughters and Priestesses.

​

In addition to these ceremonies, I offer Spiritual Counseling to support women on their journey of healing and transformation. If you feel called to learn more, you are welcome to reach out via email or text me at 604-346-7376 to arrange a time to connect.

​

I am also an advocate for our birthright as humans to commune with all of the plants Mother Earth has provided for us. I have long believed that there is a silent war against Mother Nature and her Plant Spirit Medicines—this is, in truth, a war against higher consciousness itself. It is the expansion of the collective consciousness that will save Mother Earth, and this mission is at the heart of my work.

​

As Canada’s first Cannabis Refugee, I spent ten years passionately advocating for the right to access cannabis and other sacred plant medicines. I am also deeply devoted to protecting humanity’s right to commune with Plant Spirit Medicines.

​

I co-founded a Plant Spirit Medicine Aya Church, where I facilitated healing ceremonies for ten years in Vancouver. My work continues to be a reflection of my passion for supporting women in stepping into their divine power through sacred ceremony, with the support of plant spirit medicine allies that hold the space for our spiritual growth and ascension.

​

Today, I am blessed to reside on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, where I facilitate Women’s Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonies and own and operate Plant Priestess Botanicals, a herbal boutique specializing in blissful and consciousness-expanding herbal medicines. My mission is to support women in reclaiming their sacredness, awakening their divinity, and stepping into their power as co-creators of a new Earth.

​

I hold a deep knowing in my heart that women carry the power to midwife the rebirth of a new world, and it is through our connection to the Divine Feminine, Mother Earth & her Sacred Plant Medicines that we can bring about the transformation we seek.

"I have been involved as a volunteer and member of Renee's church, Ceu das Sereias, for a few years now. My life is radically different from before I became involved. Renee knows how to authentically create a safe and loving space for people from all walks of life, especially women. Her talents are immeasurable and include, but are not limited to; effectively holding space, ceremony leadership, relationship coaching, esoteric and Occult teachings, massage, natural product manufacturing, community leadership, musical direction and the list goes on.

Under Renee's direction and guidance I have been able to heal many traumas from my past, as well as develop my own unique form of manifestation. 

Renee has much knowledge that we may only dream of, and if you have the opportunity to learn from her, you should jump at the chance.

I am grateful to have met Renee in this lifetime and I hope to meet her in the next."

"Renee holds a very loving and safe space, in which I feel so seen, heard, and welcome by her angelic presence. Her abundance of knowledge and experience gained from her own studies, guides and her spiritual teachers is easily felt, and creates a sacred container full of hope, healing, and awakenings. The practices I have learned from being in her circle are ones I will take with me through my life, and the wisdom and acceptance I have recieved from her and the other women in the group has helped me set my heart free. Renee truly is a healer and a wonderful teacher, and I am honoured to be not only learning to heal myself, but how to hold a healing, safe and visionary space for others!"
