Mexican Mint Marigold (Tagetes lucida)

       Mexican Mint Marigold is a perennial plant species native to Mexico and Central America. This strain of Marigold was a popular entheogen among the Aztecs, as well as a ritualistic incense referred to as "Yauhtli." It's often been infused with Nicotiana rustica ( Tobacco ) in a smoking blend that was utilized in combination with peyote and other psychedelic plants. No, I don't sell it. This is just an information blog. This indicates to me that it's one of many "potentiator" type plants". Tagetes lucida is the scientific name for the plant species. It has a long history of use as a medicinal and culinary herb as well. Personally, this particular plant woulnd't be on my bucket list. If the Aztecs did it, you probably don't want to. Their discernment was a bit off.

      Although much of the modern world refuses to investigate sacred plants like Tagetes lucida, its ancient origins of use as a successful medicine, entheogen(religious thing), and culinary herb teach us otherwise. We must take the wise words of the bible into consideration, and the discernment that God gave us. Remember not all plants are there to be consumed ( Genesis 3, forbidden fruit ). Aside from this, there is in fact a scientific understanding on chemicals found within this plant and many others. It contains the following compounds: Anethole, Ohavicol, Coumarin ( also found in Tumeric), Estragole, Isorhamnefin, Methyleugenol, and Quercitin, to name a few. These compounds are of great interest to researchers in the field of phytochemistry, which consist of their study and naming. Phytochemistry is a very important field when it comes to research and production of modern pharmaceutical medicine, and the scientific proof that God makes medicine better than humans do. I prefer natural, the way the most High intended it.

       I mentioned earlier the sacred Aztec incense known as "Yauhtli." I'd like to briefly discuss the history of natural aromatics. Incense have a long history of use among cultures around the world. They're not like the "stick incense" people buy today. Honestly, those are fake imitations that seem to cause more nasal irritation than anything else. Natural aromatics are raw plant materials that are burned. Ancient beliefs regard these aromatic plants to have a range of benefits. Many of them are used in combination with meditation, and aromatherapy for lifting mood, inducing motivation(can be dangerous), etc. Whatever the practice may be, marketers fail to warn readers about the potential dangers associated with them. They typically involve violating the first two commandments ( idolatry, false god worship ). People tend to take new age / occultic beliefs more seriously than the bible, because it doesn't give them absolute freedom. Regardless, the spiritual rules in the scripture hold true, and failure to apply them habitually only leads to your downfall. Know this and ask yourself, does the doctrine associated with this plant contradict the spiritual rules in the bible?

Non Medicinal Uses:

       Both the fresh and dried leaves of the M.M.M. [ mmm lol ] are used as a tarragon substitute when flavoring culinary dishes. They are also said to have a similar flavor to that of anise tea. The flowers are also used to produce a yellow dye. They make an excellent natural insect repellent which is great for use in gardens everywhere. You can collect the flowers, dry them out and then add them to a spray bottle with 75% water and 25% liquor. The spray is completely harmless to the plants and easily washes off in the rain. You'll find it's a very effective and easy to make DIY mixture. As an ingredient in home made DIY disinfectant sprays and recipes for herbal cleaning agents, Mexican Mint Marigold is perfect for this! Some marketed it like it was some kind of psychedelic but it looks to me that after a quick bit of research it's commonly reported to be toxic in high levels. Any effects caused in this rare case, were likely due to toxcicity. I believe this is another example of a plant not meant to be used, but yet it's often marketed like it's Psilocybin or something, when it's NOT. I come to do the Lord's work, and correct misinformation. There are plants which are meant to be used also, and do what they do because they're meant to, and not because you're being poisoned. Note: one key factor in all real sorcery, they lean towards the toxic plants. Plenty of plants are non-toxic and haven't been used by such abominations, go for them instead.

       The Mexican Mint Marigold was also used by the Huichol for its psychotropic and entheogenic effects. The Huichol would combine the plant with Tobacco. One study suggest that an methanolic extract captured from the flowers of Tagetes lucida seems to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and Candida albicans in cultures. These are rather remarkable discoveries that I believe should not be ignored. Making and using a home-made spray that contains the dried flowers of the Mexican Mint Marigold should prove a very effective house hold cleaner. This could be one of those plants that's marketed like a drug but doesn't do anything. A few shady vendors back in the day were doing that. At any rate, I've never tried it nor does it seem appealing to me, having been used by cultures whose footsteps I would never want to walk in. Sourcing this from a reliable vendor would also be difficult, as I woulnd't put it past someone to harvest a random weed from their yard and slap a label on it. Let's not be rash tho and push some far right nightmare that limits commerce and free trade. I believe in free economies.
