Connect with the ancestral wisdom of South Africa through African Dream Root — a sacred botanical traditionally used in spiritual rituals and dreamwork ceremonies.
Silene capensis, commonly known as African Dream Root, is native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa and has been revered for centuries by the Xhosa people. Known locally as Ubulawu, this plant is considered a “teacher herb,” used in sacred rites to enhance dream clarity, spiritual insight, and connection to the subconscious.
🌙 Historical & Ceremonial Significance
Xhosa Tradition: African Dream Root has been used by Xhosa shamans in rituals designed to receive guidance through dreams. It was believed to open “white paths” — symbolic channels to the spirit world.
Spiritual Use: Traditionally prepared as a frothy infusion or tincture, the root was used in non-recreational ceremonies to support lucid dreaming, emotional processing, and intuitive exploration.
Modern Ritual Practice: Today, African Dream Root tincture is embraced in symbolic dreamwork, altar offerings, and meditative rituals. It is offered for ceremonial and educational use only.
