Why do we call Cannabis ‘Asterion’ in this Temple? (Long Story Short)

Asterion directly translates to, “Little Star” and was the name in Ancient Crete for what is known in modern times as the Cannabis plant. The High Priestesses in this Matriarchal society would use Asterion for communion and oracle practice. The Asterion plant was recognized and honored for these spiritual gifts and consumed with reverence and intention. In the spirit of this lineage, the practice in Asterion Temple is dedicated to exalting the Spiritual benefits of plant enhanced mind/body/community activations.

In this Temple when we use the term Asterion we are referencing the Spiritual aspect of the plant. The bigger offering of the Cannabis plant has many faces and many gifts to share with humanity. All of the ways we connect with this plant are sacred and intentional. In this space we dive deeper into this relationship with a specifically spiritual lens. I invite you to play with this new name and notice if it opens you to new portals for the uniquely spiritual gifts of Asterion to touch your heart and change your life.
