What are good books about Salvia divinorum?
There are several books that are entirely dedicated to the plant. The first one, which appeared in 1996, was Salvinorin: The Psychedelic Essence of Salvia divinorum by the late D.M. Turner. This book is now out of print, but it can be viewed on the web at www.erowid.org/library/books_online/salvinorin/salvinorin.shtml. Another good book is Salvia divinorum and Salvinorin A: The Best of The Entheogen Review 19922000, edited by David Aardvark. This is perhaps the most detailed book on the modern psychonautical use of S. divinorum currently available [from www.entheogenreview.com]. There is a book in German that provides a brief overview of all aspects of the plant, including its traditional use, titled Salvia divinorum–Der Wahrsagesalbei by Jochen Gartz [available from www.nachtschatten.ch]. And there is a small book that focuses solely on growing the plant, titled The Salvia Divinorum Grower’s Guide by Sociedad para la Perservacion de las Plantas del Misterio [available from www.specmi
