Figures that as I dive into the internet in search of the magic of Ghost Pipe I stumble across your teachings! I didn't realize this was your blog until I got to your story with it and I'm thinking... "Hey! This is Sean's story!" And low and behold it's you... I guess the internet is a small place for people in search of what I'm looking for...

It's a delight to follow the way you weave webs of understanding which allows me to really see something of this wonderful plant

So, how many grams of aerial plant ppart to ml of vodka?

Anonymous said...

Anonymous, cut the plant into smaller pieces so more surface area is exposed. Stuff a wide mouth jar with the plant pieces and fill with vodka until the plants are fully submerged. If gluten is an issue you can find gluten free vodkas at barnivore.com. If organic and GMO's are a concern: http://www.greenmuze.com/nurture/organic/634-organic-vodka-guide.html

I'm New to tincturing and had come across some ghost plant in my woods. A lot actually, but I made a tincture and everything I read says it's supposed to be a purplish color. Mine is the blackest thing you will ever see. Has been since after the first day. It's this normal? Did I do something wrong? I cut the whole plant up and added enough vodka to cover. I sealed it and put it in the cupboard only taking it out to shake it. Once in the morning, once at night.

Wow! Thank you for your insight. It's interesting to me that my first encounter with ghost pipe a couple days ago was alongside my son while we were involved in a search for a missing toddler deep in the woods. Both my son and I tend to have a bit of anxiety. Of course we didnt eat any, having a super time sensitive agenda. But for the ghost pipe to show itself to us at that moment of panic..

Fascinating Sean. I haven't worked with this powerful and otherworldly plant in my practice but your words inspire me. Life/death, initiation, poisoning, trauma, the in between realm. One of the main plants I work with for deep trauma and explring the underworld is Devil's Club. But that is big, deep rich murky thorny grandmother energy to me. I. pipe seems much more like a dweller on the edge, dancing between the worlds, maybe part trickster, playing into sensations of fear, trust, transcendence and hidden wisdom. Thanks much...

Unknown said...

I have ghost pipe on my land and have got to know it well, the first time i sat with them I saw the tunnels between worlds. it was nice to read of your experience with this also. I tend to find the "parasitic" plants or carnivore plants to be distinctly otherworldly (darlingtonia) and feel very much they have their own stars and are happy visitors helping us on our way. my use with ghost pipe for addiction as well as emotional abuse is that it really helps reinforce and center the ego, which most people who have "spiraled out of control" or who are essentially hiding have lost sight of.... and when i look at ghost pipe's community they are all so similar but also distinctly individual with their heads pointing this way and that

Today, I went on a meditative hike through a local forest of beech, maple, and fir, and I came across this amazing plant. I instantly knew that it was special, and that I should learn more about its lore and uses, both spiritual and physiologic. Google led me to this page. As I read, I was amazed to discover that this plant treats almost every ailment that plagues me, panic in particular. I did not disturb the plant, but I think that meditating on its medicine will be beneficial for me. Thank you so much for writing this!

So I discovered several patches of Ghost Pipe on the property where I work; I was interested in cutting some for root-work purposes. Tincturing would be the easiest form of preservation for me ATM due to my living conditions, but I was wondering if anyone had tried drying it before using it? Also, what exactly could the tincture be used for? (I don't recall seeing that information anywhere in this post).

anartist said...

I just found it today growing in our forest and would like to try it, was not sure how you would use the tincture made with the vodka. Do you take it internally and what would be the amount> Thank you for your blog and all of the insight you have generously provided.
Many thanks for any info

Unknown said...

Thank you very muchly for your insight. I stumbled upon this lovely plant just today and had to figure out what it was. I was staying on land for the weekend, trying to set my mind to peace. (Long story) It presented itself at the perfect time.

Celine C said...

What a captivating read. Thank you for so much good info. It's making a lot of more sense now.

Thanks for the amazing info on monotropa. It's not easy to find much on this herb. I was lucky enough to find the early season ghost pipe and late season pine sap monotropa. My question:Is it OK to harvest and use a few weeks after the plants have withered to black? Also I truly believe the root is not meant to be harvested. The few times I tried the root was so small it just didn't make sense to ruin the amazing symbiotic relationship. Also I believe this may only grow out of prehistoric native American burial grounds after finding the most beautiful patch about 20 feet from a cairn, so a prayer and possible offering is definetly in order when collecting in my opinion. Thanks again, Great work, Zac P.S. any knowledge of collecting after the stalks have withered would be Greatly appreciated. Peace through living places. Zac

Please, please, please please -----
When talking about this plant, PLEASE DO NOT NEGLECT to talk about its RARE status.

NOT everyone needs to be harvesting it. Please DO NOT just harvest it because you think it is cool.

There are so many other more common plants that do very similar work as this plant, and it's truly only VERY RARELY indicated.

Author of this post, PLEASE take more responsibility--if you are saying "ecosystem" in a post about this plant, I am going to publicly stand up and say "YOU need to be a more responsible herbalist" and talk about its rarity if you are going to talk about it in this kind of depth. I didn't even see a single caution. PLEASE think.

Check this public fb post out for more reasons why. This is not my post, but I loved seeing it. Let's be responsible herbalists and ALWAYS mention the reality of overharvesting of rare plants when we are talking about this plant.

Its not that rare its rare to people who don't travel the woods . your a bit extreme . I've found it all over my travels growing in many different conditions. Just found a rather large bouque growing along a rotten log with absolutely no mushrooms visible .

Thank you for sharing this information. Something strange and wonderful happened today. I have been living with pain for over 13yrs. Long story short...I've stopped taking RX medications and started looking for natural pain relief. Last week I found a small patch of, what I now understand to be, ghost pipe on my property. After readying about the delicate nature of this flower I had decided to leave it undisturbed. Through the week I would check-in on the flowering GP. My Pain was tempting me more than usual yesterday and I found myself in tears, almost scolding the GP for being available, yet not in the way or amount that would be helpful. Well, today there are 7...yes 7 large patches of GP sprouting up all over my property! Truly thankful!!!

Anonymous said...

It really isn't that rare, it just doesn't grow everywhere. I know of one forest absolutely covered in it. I completely stuffed a huge jar without making so much as a dent in the population. I also have several colonies in my woods and know others who do as well. I find more Indian pipe than I find morrels, honestly. It's a sacred, special plant for sure, but not in real danger of being over-harvested.

God is Good!I promised God that I would share my testimony on this website. I had all the signs of STD Virus but I was not too sure as to which one. I did a lot of online research and scared myself straight for a whole week before going to see the nurse. She took one look at my genital part and first said that it could just be the anatomy of my body, then she said it looked like genital warts and that I MAY have herpes. I was devastated. She gave me some medicine for the herpes and some cream for the warts. I was also tested for every single STD including herpes. I went home and cried searching the web for all sorts of cures for herpes and awaiting my results. I saw a post whereby Dr. ibhafidon  Blessed cured Herpes and other diseases, I copied his contGod acts out and added him on whats app via +2348152228377. The next day my test result was ready and i confirmed Herpes positive. I told Dr ibhafidon Blessed about my health problems and he assured me of cure. He prepared his herbal medicine and sent it to me. I took it for 14 days (2 weeks). Before the completion of the 14 days in which I completed the dose, the Blisters and Warts that were on my body was cleared. I went back for check-up and I was told I'm free from the virus. Dr. ibhafidon Blessed cures all types of diseases and viruses with the help of his herbal medicine. You can reach Dr. ibhafidon Blessed via his email address on ( dribhafidon96@gmail. com ) or call him on +2348152228377 and whats app him on same number for more info mail me directly on.dribhafidon96@gmail. com

Wow! This great article about herpes simplex virus.. I had been thinking about this long ago why can't the physician therapist assist us in getting a possible solution to this deathly virus.. we had no option just like our eyes closed and driving on highway.
God bless you herbal medical practitioners whom have reviewed the cured for different STDs STIs.unlike Dr. Odey Abang Dr, Ugo,Dr.Itua, Dr. Yakubu, Dr. Sabi. This are the doctors I have Heald and lots have confirmed thier cures from. I'm from Florida in America. My friend had got the HSV cured long before I got diagnosed of same virus. I realized that after a couple of symptoms kepts reappearing often on my face and genitals. It was a very sad and shameful experience to me, but my friend whom I'm aware after several test she got tested negative after using the Herpes simplex virus medicine she got from Dr Odey Abang. The result was confirmed 4 weeks she applied the medicine. I was wondering if this count me out of my career,but with courage, she made mention of Dr. Odey Abang for the same remedies, though the listed names above are great herbalist,but was comfortable to try Dr. Odey Abang herbal medicine since he was the same man that got her the medicine. It was same day I contacted him and explain how I was. He promised to send the medicine immediately after preparation. So he did and my results came negative.
I'm so happy now to let you know that I have found some good reason to be happy again getting out the shirt.
Please contact him for possible remedies to all your problem.. he's spiritually inclined and can consult your problem without you telling him.
Yes you can reach him now@

I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had HERPES virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR ehiaguna cured them from HERPES virus, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 9 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR ehiaguna because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR ehiaguna via drehiaguna@gmail.com or WhatsApp him via +2348073908953 God bless you
