There was a great Nutmeg article written by Ibo Nagano in the Vernal Equinox 2008 issue of the Entheogen Review. Very comprehensive, about 10 pages of Nutmeg info. The following is a recipe by Christian Rätsch called Cookies for Preventing Sadness which was published in his Pagan Christmas. I am sharing it below for your Holiday baking pleasure.
- 2 Tbsp ground nutmeg
- 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp ground cloves
- 3 cups flour
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 sticks of butter
- 2 eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cups of chopped almonds
*Note this is far from a visionary dose, but rewarding none the less.

Sure was a good article, I enjoyed reading it.
Do you happen to have contact details for Ibo Nagano? I'd love to contact him, I have information (personal experience) that he may be interested in.
Hello Lem,
Unfortunately I do not know how to contact him.
Thanks for writing!
Peace,

Speaking of personal experience, I tried this recipe. The mix ends up very thick and sticky. It helps to have oiled fingers (say with olive oil) when handling the mix.
I put in 3 grated nutmegs (about 12g, one really potent one, dark brown and oily, the other two average). There were 42 cookies total, and 5 hours after eating 7 of them I was definitely feeling it. Felt like about half a nutmeg worth of effects (sedation, slight dreamy feeling, pleasant lethargy, hints of closed-eye visuals, etc).
Perhaps 2 cookies per day max is what I'd use as a "preventing sadness" dose. Eating more than that each day would leave you quite out of it after say 3-4 days.
