Momoy T-Shirt

Momoy is the Chumash Indian goddess of the Datura-flower and its medicinal and ritual use, as well as the guardian of tradition. Momoy is associated with the datura plant, specifically Datura meteliodes. The datura family is known for its narcotic and medicinal properties, and includes D. stramonium, the white thorn-apple or jimson-weed. Momoy advises on correct proportions and careful use of this powerful medicine. It is said that when Her bathwater--in other words, a tea made from the root of the datura plant--is drunk visions and wisdom are granted. In the tales, however, Momoy would not let Her grandson drink it, as he did not know the proper dosage.
