Ancestral divination is a spiritual practice that allows individuals to connect with their ancestors for guidance and wisdom. Robyn was trained in the art of Dagara Ancestral Divination by Elder Malidoma Somé, a revered teacher of the Dagara tradition. With his blessing, Robin has continued this sacred practice, offering insights and support to clients seeking clarity and connection through ancestral wisdom.

Elder Malidoma Patrice Somé was a respected teacher and author from the Dagara Tradition. His teachings introduced the rich spiritual practices of his culture to the West, emphasizing the importance of ancestral reverence and ritual. Malidoma Somé authored three profound books, including Of Water and the Spirit, and inspired countless students to carry forward his wisdom. His legacy continues through his teachings and the practices of his students, like Robyn.

During the global lockdowns of 2020, Robyn discovered that ancestral divination could be conducted effectively through virtual platforms like Zoom. Using spiritual techniques taught by Elder Malodoma Somé, Robyn maintains her energetic alignment to connect with the client's ancestors, providing the same depth of insight and guidance as in-person sessions. This virtual approach has allowed Robyn to reach a broader audience and bring ancestral wisdom to clients worldwide.

An in-person ancestral divination session begins with an opening prayer and offerings at a shared altar to honor the ancestors. Robyn acts as a clear channel, interpreting the messages and wisdom from the client's ancestors through her senses, intuition, and the ancestral divination mat. This sacred process offers clients a profound opportunity to engage directly with their ancestors, ask questions, and receive guidance on their life's path.

It is perfectly okay if you do not know or have a deep relationship with your ancestors. According to the teachings of Elder Malidoma Somé, ancestors are always present and eager to support their loved ones, regardless of prior relationships. When someone passes, they gain a broader perspective on their life and its impact on others. Even ancestors who may have caused pain in the past are often the first to offer guidance, seeking to heal and support their lineage.

Bufo is a potent entheogenic secretion derived from the Bufo Alvarius toad. It is known for inducing profound, non-dual experiences that can lead to significant personal transformation. What is an entheogen? An entheogen is a substance that is often used in a spiritual or religious context to induce altered states of consciousness, facilitating experiences that are described as mystical or transcendent. The term is derived from Greek, meaning "to generate the divine within." Entheogens can include various plant-based substances, fungi, and synthetic compounds, and they are commonly employed in rituals or ceremonies to enhance spiritual insight, promote healing, and foster a deeper connection to oneself or the universe.

The Bufo Alvarius toad's secretion contains a variety of psychoactive compounds, with the most notable being 5-MeO-DMT often referred to as the "God Molecule.". While the exact composition can vary, here are some of the active alkaloids typically found in Bufo: 1. 5-MeO-DMT - The most prominent psychoactive component. 2. NN-DMT - Another well-known tryptamine with psychoactive effects. 3. Bufotenin - A compound that can have psychoactive and physiological effects. 4. Anadenanthera alkaloids - These may include various tryptamines derived from related plant species. 5. Harmaline- A beta-carboline alkaloid that can influence psychedelic effects. 6. Harmine - Another beta-carboline that may enhance the effects of other compounds. 7. Tryptamines - Various tryptamine derivatives may be present. 8. Alkaloids from 5-hydroxy-DMT - Related to serotonin and may influence the experience. 9. Methylated tryptamines - These can modify the psychoactive profile of the secretion. 10. Various other minor alkaloids - The specific details can vary based on the toad's environment and diet. It’s important to note that the precise number and identity of alkaloids can differ due to factors like the toad's habitat and health. The study of Bufo's chemical composition is ongoing, and our understanding may evolve as more research is conducted.

While chemically similar, 5-MeO-DMT is considered to be up to ten times more potent than NN-DMT (commonly known as DMT). The effects of 5-MeO-DMT are unique and distinct from those of NN-DMT.

The nickname "God Molecule" stems from its ability to often facilitate a direct experience of divinity or Source, leading to ego dissolution and a profound understanding of reality.

Users often report a mystical experience characterized by the dissolution of the ego and a deep connection to their core essence. This experience can lead to transformative insights about identity, life, and reality.

Current research and anecdotal evidence suggest that this medicine may be beneficial in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD.

Caution is essential when using Bufo, as it is an extremely potent substance that can dramatically alter one’s perception and behavior. Each person's experience is unique and can vary significantly in intensity. Set and setting is important as is having a safe space and facilitator to conduct the ceremony as well as post integrative support.

A Bufo experience typically involves a profound loss of awareness of both the body and the surrounding environment. It is a deep exploration of consciousness that leads to states of infinite awareness, well beyond ordinary mental functioning. As people move beyond their typical sense of self, the energies previously constrained by psychological "holding patterns" are liberated, enabling complete expression. Journeyers may have little to no awareness of their physical actions, including movements such as verbally emoting, rolling, shaking, punching, kicking, spitting, screaming, vomiting, or wandering around. For the safety of the journeyer it's imperative to have a skilled guide and a safe set and setting to meet Bufo in.

No, it should not be approached as a "cure-all." While it has the potential for deep healing, it can also destabilize aspects of a person's life, requiring time and effort to reconcile and integrate the experience.

The desire of the participant to ‘meet’ the medicine, willingness to surrender to the process, experienced guidance, safe and sacred set and setting, and mindful integration with personal or community support are essential to guarantee a safe and impactful experience with Bufo and 5-MeO-DMT.

The integration process involves reconciling insights gained during the experience and restructuring belief systems. Time in nature with oneself as well as pursuing opportunities to live in more alignment with the Soul and ones spiritual values daily. This can be uncomfortable and challenging but is essential for stabilizing the changes in one’s life.

Yes, Bufo does have contraindications. While it is generally considered safe when administered with proper guidance, there are certain conditions and situations where caution is advised. It’s essential to consult with a professional if you have any concerns. Some contraindications include: - Serious heart issues, heart surgery, or an enlarged heart. - Significant lung problems or respiratory conditions. - Major mental or emotional instability. - Certain mental health conditions (excluding depression, PTSD, and anxiety). - Use of SSRI medications. - Recovery from a major surgical procedure, including those with internal stitches. - Being under the age of 18. Additionally, individuals with drug or alcohol addictions, abnormal blood pressure, or asthma may be able to take Bufo, but should do so with extra caution.
