Transformative Indulgence: Sacred Plant Medicine in Hand-Dipped
Gourmet Chocolate Truffles

At Emporium Black, my ambition goes beyond simply making plant spirit medicines more accessible; I seek to weave together the realms of gourmet indulgence with the profound depths of spiritual and occult practices.


At Emporium Black, I am committed to weaving together the delights of gourmet indulgence with the profound spiritual connections to sacred plant medicines and occult practices. My Nightshade Truffles, each carefully handcrafted in luxuriously rich chocolate, offer more than just a sensory feast. They are powerful vessels for personal transformation, providing a direct pathway to engage with and understand the spirits of sacred plants.

Infused with sacred plant medicines renowned for their capacity to bridge the physical and spiritual worlds, these truffles are not merely tantalizing treats. They serve as potent tools for those on a quest to explore their deepest desires and unlock the essence of their being. The velvety smoothness and intricate flavors of the truffles act as guides, gently leading individuals to their core, aligning the psyche's delicate threads, and fostering a profound communion with the plant spirits they contain.


Within the realm of occult work and practices, my truffles can play a pivotal role. They are perfectly suited for rituals, spells, and as sacred offerings, amplifying a practitioner's ability to traverse and influence the unseen realms. Their inherent qualities enrich the ritual experience, proving invaluable to those immersed in magic and mysticism who wish to deepen their connection to both the natural and spiritual worlds.

Furthermore, my Nightshade Truffles serve as catalysts for liberation and self-discovery. As the flavors delicately unfold, they can spark a cascade of emotions, freeing individuals from the constraints of society and facilitating a journey towards authenticity. This transformative journey is not solely about personal growth; it's about forging a deep, resonant bond with the plant spirits, thereby enhancing magical practices and the spiritual journey of the practitioner.

Emporium Black’s Nightshade Truffles elevate the ordinary, blending the essence of sacred plant medicine with the craft of chocolatiering. They call upon practitioners and seekers alike to delve into the depths of their existence and the universe's mysteries, all while promoting a sacred connection with the plant spirits. In this space, crafted with love, my truffles are not just an indulgence but a portal to spiritual discovery and a deeper engagement with the mystical forces of nature.

Meet the Maker

I am Seamus (SHAY-mus) Black, the creator of Emporium Black’s Nightshade Truffles. I started this business in 2019 at age 53. I am a retired chef and chocolatier as well as an artist and plant lover. My original idea behind these nightshade truffles stems from my years living on reservations and being heavily involved with the Native American Church (peyote). During that time I participated in many meetings and ceremonies, living as part of that community. Once I returned to the culture I was originally raised in, I was looking for a way to help non-Native Americans make similar connections with plants as well as giving these plants back to the people by helping to bring them back out of the shadows. My journey into this field spans over three decades, during which I also delved into the study of Eastern philosophy. I dedicated a significant portion of my life to exploring Vipassana meditation, which greatly contributed to my understanding of the mind-body connection.
Not only is Emporium Black a testament to my diverse experiences and expertise, but it is also an LGBTQI owned business. As a transgender person, I made the decision to transition when I turned fifty, and I am fiercely proud to be a visible advocate for transgender rights and acceptance.
In addition to my role as a business owner and advocate, I am also a devoted parent to two teenagers who bring immense joy to my life. They are without a doubt the light of my life, the source of endless inspiration, and the best thing that has ever happened to me. Emporium Black is a reflection of my multifaceted identity and my unwavering commitment to promoting inclusivity, self-discovery, and love in all its forms.

What People Are Saying About Emporium Black

“Every truffle that I got to sample has its own unique aroma and flavor; I honestly found each one to be irresistible in its own way. I have had a couple of very profound experiences with your truffles, and even if I don't have a miraculous epiphany the effects are almost unexplainable in the way they relax and calm a restless mind and spirit. I can slow down my chaotic tornado of thoughts and focus on what I need and how to improve myself and my relationships to others. Always absolutely positive, it's amazing.”

- Erica N.

“I LOVE your exquisite truffles. My headspace changes even having them in the room. I experience a deep, grounded calm I associate with my young and authentic self and the spaciousness that marked my pre-internet consciousness. I’m more available and grounded to myself. I have been enjoying them during these still spring evenings resplendent with young leaves and changing light. I can feel the particles suspended in the air. Just beautiful. Thank you so much.”

- Gabrielle C.

“Hey! I just wanted to say I tried a half truffle for the first time the other day, the Forest Faerie Nightshade Truffle, and it was really amazing. I have experienced all kinds of mind-altering substances but this was different. Something clicked. And something spoke to me. I don't know how to explain it, but a new door was opened. I feel calm, peace, love, at one with myself. Also just feeling everything very strongly. All beautiful things. Wondrous to be alive. Thank you!”
