Smoking fat cigars

Most likely one of the grooviest plant genios that I've worked with has been that of the tobacco, when it comes to plant beings I tend to look at it in a similar fashion as the planetary forces in terms of hierarchy and sympathia, you got yourself the base spirits that essentially can be considered the 'poison' of the material that comes to sort of symbolize the corrupting force brought on by things like excess (the spirit of the tobacco plant being ever present within cigarette products in my opinion) the intelligence that is essentially the benevolent virtue, the medicine so to say of the plant, and then you have yourself the ruling Zodiacal, Planetary, and Angelic forces (along with of course other associations with deities and such born in other traditions) the essence of the plant that I work with is the virtue, working with it as an ally for four main things:

1.Cleansing
2.Offering
3.Protection
4.Prayer and meditation tool

By principle I consider tobacco in its pure state to be a noble plant, connected to mankind, being burnt in sacrifice for prayer and other such purposes, thus acting as a physical representation of the Alchemical I.N.R.I principle and also coming to represent a union of the four classical elements, raised up from the Earth, fed with Water, burnt with Fire, and rising up into the Air as smoke. Thus in my personal work I utilize this ally a lot, always keeping in mind tobacco's Martial association. The Archangelic patron of Mars, being in my work Samael whose name translates into the "bitter drink of God" something that can be interpreted in two fashions, as a poison and a medicine, something that as shown by my above statements I believe is fully applicable to Tobacco and various other physical plant items and spiritual beings (in reality a whole slew of things.)

Now in my work one of the things I feed most with tobacco smoke is my machete, which is in practice my substitute for a sword. The machete belonged to my Grandfather and he used it within his Oggun cauldron, now I use it to honor the Warrior mysteries and as a representation of the divine law and my connection to it as a magician. I use it to cut away malignant forces, set up wards, and triumph over bad situations as my Cuban ancestors with machetes at hand triumphed over Spanish oppression in the Cuban war of independence. I tend to remember the imagery of Christ with a sword in his mouth, the sword symbolizing the Logos/Word, in my case as a representative of that holy force, instead of a sword I got a machete held in my right hand, Cigar in mouth as the holy word melds with the smoke as a manifestation of my will, Abracadabra!

..Then again though as Sigmund Freud once said "..a cigar is just a cigar" no I don't like sucking fat dicks, just wanted to get that out of the way, phallic tension.....LUZ!!
