Alicia Anisopetala - Peru - Black Vine - (Trueno)

Alicia Anisopetala is a South American vine from the Malpighiaceae family. NL Naturals provides high-quality vines from trusted sources.

Each tribe has a unique origin myth related to the vine. Most names mean "vine of the souls" or "vine of the dead" because it is believed that the deceased on the vines climb to heaven. This fits well with the common motif of the "World Tree" or "Axis Mundi". The roots are the underworld, the tribe the middle world, or the kingdom of man, and the canopy would be symbolic for the ethereal kingdom. Many have a story about how an ancient ancestor received the vine from a god. Then it was given to all people for healing.

Trueno means 'thunder', an apt description for the intense effects it has on the body. Black Caapi is the strongest of the four vine species, initiating into a darker and more intense place than the others. It is well-suited for solitary work, or journeys to underworld/subconscious type spheres. It is said that only the more experienced should work with Black Trueno Vine, it is traditionally used for more magical purposes such as creating or breaking spells. Black Trueno vine brings visions tinted in green (the "black" refers to the color of the brew made from it).
