Pure Belladonna

Pure Belladonna is a peaceful society designed as I, Mina K$, found my inner peace. Pure means free from anything of a different, inferior, or contaminating kind. Belladonna is derived from the Italian word "Bella donna" meaning, “fair lady”. In the nightshade family, this flower can be deadly or healing depending on the way you use it. 

In the late 1500's early 1600's women used the flower to dilate their pupils. A drug found in the leaf and root contains atropine. Atropine is related to alkaloids used in medicine to check secretions and spasms. It can help relieve pain, dizziness, and can also be used as a cardiac and respiratory stimulant. The plant is found in the native part of Europe and Asia. It has black berries, purple flowers and green sometimes purple leaves. The berries on the plant could be poisonous and too many congested could be fatal. You also cannot let your skin have direct contact with the leaves this could cause a rash, something like poison ivy. This plant could help or kill you if you don’t have the knowledge to know what to do with it. 

This name was perfect because it pertains to me truly identifying my inner being and discovering internal peace . I developed a level of understanding that changed my perspective on a lot of things in life. A belladonna, good and bad, can apply to your life in better or worse situations. Depending on the knowledge you obtain along with what you decide to do with it will determine who you are as a person. We all have a choice. 

God is all things good. 

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. All fruits of the spirit. Whereas, hate, jealousy, envy, and greed are all things demonic and demon possessed. You will not be lifted by bringing other people down. On my journey to finding my inner peace I tried and experienced things godly and demon possessed. I could’ve gone either direction. With my free will I decided to make a choice to get better and not worse. I was taken out of my comfort zone as my faith was tested. The Devil was defeated AGAIN! 

I look at “Pure Belladonna” as a messiah! It’s a part of my forever testimony. I was blessed with the free will to make a choice and the knowledge to do wrong, recognize my wrong and make it right. I changed my negative into a positive and now I understand..

“It ain't what you did, IT'S ALL IN WHAT YOU DO NEXT”.

A Pure Belladonna is not perfect but purely herself. The one who follows the crowd will most likely only make it as far as the crowd. I encourage others to believe in yourself. The one who walks alone will more likely find themselves in places no one has ever been before. Be who you believe in not who you see.
