Esoteric Practices for Women and Cannabis

Hey ladies!

Did you know that cannabis has been used by women for centuries to enhance their spiritual practices? That's right, cannabis has played a key role in the lives of women throughout history, helping them to connect with their spirituality and explore their inner selves. Dating back to ancient times, women have been using cannabis as part of their spiritual rituals. In India, for example, cannabis was commonly used by yogis and spiritual seekers to enhance meditation practices and achieve greater states of consciousness. It was also used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat a range of ailments, from anxiety to pain. Meanwhile, in ancient Egypt, women used cannabis-infused oils and balms for cosmetic purposes, as well as for healing and spiritual practices. And in medieval Europe, women turned to cannabis as a remedy for menstrual cramps and other gynecological issues.


In recent years, more and more women are rediscovering the spiritual benefits of cannabis. From incorporating it into yoga and meditation practices, to using it to enhance creativity and self-expression, women are finding new ways to connect with this powerful plant.


So, the next time you're feeling called to explore your spiritual side, consider adding cannabis to your practice. With its rich history and myriad of benefits, it may just become your new favorite tool for self-discovery.
