I mentioned chimney worms a post or two ago. Now, most spiritual people will advise ignoring these phenomena, or perhaps get rid of them through some spiritual practice. My own way is to not interfere and let nature take its course.
However, there is more to these creatures, and an interesting thing happened here.
That was when the Hindu practice of Agnihotra was temporarily introduced to my garden. Basically, Agnihotra is a practice where cow dung and ghee is burned in a pyramidal bowl at the exact moment of sunrise and sunset every day. The fire has beneficial spiritual effects on the environment. One can learn more about it at their website here: Agnihotra Australia. I can tell the reader that it indeed works as stated. Well worth consideration. But you have to do the practice properly without shortcuts.
The connection between Agnihotra and the chimney worm was rather interesting. One evening, it was raining, so I lit the fire in the pyramid inside the house rather than in the garden. I chose the fireplace with the idea of purification of the house interior.
Next morning, there was a small golden snake curled up in the ash within the pyramid. That golden snake was a chimney worm. It had been transformed by the Agnihotra fire. So we took the burner up into the garden and tipped the ash under a large gum tree. Last time I saw the snake, it had grown in size and now had several heads. Snakes in the Hindu mythos are called Nagi, and are guardians of springs.
I said the practice was temporary in my garden, well that is because the practice originates in the Hindu, and subsequently my garden got a lot of attention from other-worldly Hindu people who would visit here. That upset my garden's little Nature spirits, and so the practice was stopped. A similar thing with Biodynamic agriculture methods I employed here. That brings Anthroposophists in its wake.
Now in ordinary circumstances the employment of these practices would welcome assistance from experts of the spirit world. There is nothing wrong with that. However, it is something to keep in mind; we don't normally notice what comes unseen with the things we do. Especially when it comes to shamanistic and spiritual practices. Properly practicing Biodynamic agriculture or Agnihotra will build a shared interactive dreamscape, and the location will come alive in spiritual ways. That is how it works . . .
Which brings us to the use of the hallucinogen peyote in Castenada's books.
