Thou shall love thine pipe.

[Oblivion]

The pipes we use are conduits to the plant world. They facilitate our ability to take in the essence of nature. With great respect and love I select a pipe for each journey I take. Some I've made myself, some were gifts and others purchased. Each has meaning and each has it's purpose. Some I like to tease for hours and others I delve deep into and hold like a new born baby.

Last night I grabbed my 16 inch tavern pipe and loaded up some DMT. I also loaded up my stubby (triple broken tavern pipe) with some grass. Out to the front porch I went while I boiled some sawdust for some Ling Chi. Hit the grass a few times and when I felt it coming on I switched over to the DMT. I felt it coming on like a tidal wave and moved to set my tavern pipe down so I wouldnt break it. They are fucking easy to break. NO! You shall remain with me old friend. We both went into the dream realm where patterns and shapes dominated my vision. I felt the pipe in my hand to make sure it was still in one piece. I saw flashes coming from the back of the house which is south. It was lightning from a large storm about 40 miles to my south. I got up and walked to the back yard where I could see brilliant yellow flashes and the outline of the thunderhead that was spawning them. I sat in the grass and hit the pipe again. I could feel the power of the storm. The wind rose up as the storm approached. I realized for all these years I have been training my mind, my body was neglected. I decided to give the body a treat and I ran. I ran to though a trailway I made. I ran and ran. Holding my pipe and watching the storm approach with furious lightning bolts spewing forth I felt like an animal. My body was at last given what it was looking for. The rain came while I was running along with the lightning. I slowed to a walk. "I'm not afraid of the elements, I AM THE FUCKING ELEMENTS!" I walked to my front porch like an animal king. I laid my pipe down and thanked it for the time we shared.

Beautiful report Oblivion, i love how it ends with you running through the woods on the brink of that storm. You're right on about the sacredness of the pipe and the special place it holds. Great read man.

Oblivion,

I love the pipes on here that I've seen you make mang. I could see how they would be so special to you, that experience sounds awesome. I need to get around to my stash here soon, haven't had a chance to for a few weeks. I am left with a new sense of life and vigor for a couple weeks after I use DMT, so its about time again.

Isn't it fun to just run like crazy when tripping?? I love the feeling of an increased heart rate.

"I'm not afraid of the elements, I AM THE FUCKING ELEMENTS!"

Beautiful man. WE ARE IT AND IT IS US. And we are really, really goddam old. Every trip seems to reassure the fact that we have been around this wheel time after time and we keep coming back around life after life to guide the way for others to follow. It seems to get to the point after hundreds of journeys like you can see through this reality into that timeless reality that is constant and eternal any time you think about it. As you wake up you start to see you never left, just a short stretch of temporary ego distraction and then slowly shifting back to the "oh yeah been here before" mindset. Get up out of the 2nd class seating and walk up to the cockpit to find yourself allready at the controls. OH yeah.
See ya out there.....

[Calaquendi]

Fantastic report brother...

Great Post Oblivion.
Thanks for sharing. I need to get outside somewhere and hit the spice pipe. It must make a beautiful sunny day look incredible. Far off lightning storms would be something to see as I enjoy them stone cold sober
I need to work up a good spice pipe that I can smoke somewhat unobtrusively in the nice wooded parks out by me.

BTW what is a tavern pipe?

[beyondthought]

is it like Gandalf pipe?

[Oblivion]

Here are a couple pictures of one. I'm about 6' 3" so you can see how long it is.

[lovedinplaster]

boiled some wood chips for ling chi? isnt ling chi a type of torture? or do you mean "descending slowly"?

[trips6928]

hmmm...I am also curious about the Ling-chi. Is it the mushroom?
Great right up, I love those Animalistic feelings.

[Oblivion]

Ling Chi is also known as Reishi. Its a medicinal mushroom with many many benefits. My primary desire for the mushroom is it's anti inflammatory and immune system enabling properties.

Here's what it looks like

Very cool Oblivion! Thanks for sharing! Tripping outside or in nature in any form is the greatest. That connectedness on a fundamental level felt so deeply. Running parallel to the thunderstorm on some good herb and spice sounds exhilarating.
