Tea Plantation in the Mayan Homeland 2012

I am going now, without plans to return. I will pass through the lands of my heritage and great many of the spirits of the Maya. This is the year of the quickening, the curtain fall and the great awakening.

I won't be unreachable or unattainable, I'll just be on a voyage. When I arrive O how I intend to build and create:

For my family and future generations I will plant and gather resources of natural things and good and growing things.

We will create and Olive tree grove, a cacao tree plantation, myco-scapes and mushroom bio remediation, and several tea plant gardens with various aged trees/shrubs of the camillia sinensis species. I feel the future is seeking deliberate actions that orient humans and nature on this planet as strong allies or else co-existence will cease. Thus considered, we are conceiving to create at complete seed and spore bank with totally sustainable structures powered completely through environmental systems (solar, wind, water...).

I've sought out this planets prime psycho-activating plants and mushrooms that can serve as a catalyst for human evolution and consciousness expansion. In my research I have been a Tea Master and representative as well as a mushroom cultivator in a mushroom club as a board member. From business market research, trade and commerce (and personal experience), I've found an amazing business and human affinity for Chocolate, Tea and Coffee. In fact these three earth goods are the leaders in the world, with Chocolate catching up steadily to the other two (coffee leading the west).

Since I will have access to pre-established coffee plantations and where i'll be is one of the coffee heartlands of the world, I won't have to worry about acquiring that plant too much. Although, tea will be a different story. I will have an opportunity to work with Tea Plants in a high elevation rain forest setting and in my excited vision, I intend to create a garden of Tea that lasts 400 to 500 hundred years (granted that the earth doesn't blow up because the Sun is overly morphic and flares in the worst of ways).

So you might wonder where mushrooms fit in here. Since, I am returning to the heartland of the Maya, I will also encounter many of the species of Magic Mushrooms that the indigenous ceremonialists use. I'll be less than 200 miles from where Maria Sabina once lived and conducted ceremonies for many of the famous US tripsters such as Tim Leary. It is a grand intention and a dedicated task but I'm happy to begin it. I'll be setting up a myco-research lab and forging for new and wild strains of mushrooms.

If you don't believe that mushrooms can save the world, then you need to take a look at videos by Paul Stamets especially in the post following this one on my blog. I concur with Paul that pandemic flu and other pathogenic disasters will befall humanity in the coming years. It is in our proximity to nature and the natural medicines extracted and excreted from forest grown and home-grown mushrooms that we'll be able to survive and continue on as a species.

This space will be a sacred temple and organic research laboratory. We will help to create a haven for life on this planet and a nexus for replenishing the earth's resources.

Sincerely,

Hugh T. Alchemy

PS. Another sacred plant/fungi of the indigenous people around the great shamaness Maria Sabina was the Mazatec Mint known as Salvia Divinorum. You can get this plant along with the Amanita Muscaria from Gold of Sunshine.

Yoga Swami and Encinitas History

Readers and Yoga Adventurers, Just recently called the Yoga Mecca of the USA, Encinitas CA and Yoga Swami (where I teach two days a week) are special and are a must visit for any yoga adventurers. See the article in the winter 2008 copy of the Encinitas magazine. http://www.encinitasmag.com/about.html Encinitas, Swami's Surf Spot, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Leucadia...can be consider spiritual vortex hotspots. This evident in the number of places to worship just on the coast (west of hwy 101) near the cliffside beachs or Swami's and Moonlight. So my mother's family (mexican americans) lived in Encinitas during the period of time when Paramahansa Yogananda (the Swami that Swami's is named after). This time period was about the 1930's- 1940's. At this time Encinitas, was well liked by Swami Yogananda and he settled there for sometime. Swami Yogananda was a capricorn and he was a very involved meditator and yoga practicioner. His foundation still exists in E...

Dreaming the Dark Times 3: Salvia and Mushrooms for Seers

  Salvia the diviner’s mint, is one of the most powerful psychedelics in the natural world. It along with Magic Mushrooms are used traditionally by Meso-American shamans (Mazatepec, Mazatec, Zapotec, etc) and my ancestors for purposes of healing and visions. Unequivocally, magic mushrooms which are containers of psilocin, psilocybin and baeocystin have been consumed by nearly all our ancestors including lighter skinned and nordic peoples. Salvia has only recently become a whole world phenomenon with many places banning it. Most western people take salvia as an extracted smoke, while most people in history chewed the leaves and burned them dried and unextracted. Salvia when taken orally as opposed to smoking seems to be the best focus of this article on dreaming. Some psychedelic effects are possible with this method especially if you are holding your saliva (spit) in your mouth for at least 20 minutes along with the herb or extract. Most of these are spiritual, central nervous syst...

Journey of Las Medicinas y Church of the Sacred Spiral

Dear Friends, Some of you joined us and many of you heard that last weekend we completed a beautiful series on the Magic Cactus with our Ethnobotany students. I held space along with some of my dearest friends and presented a series of Neo-Shamanic altars and rituals. The divine Earth we walked upon for our journey to healing was a blessed and sacred site that my family owns on the back side Palomar Mountain. As we got out of the city and into the country, I prayed for perfect weather and perfect community. Sunday throughout the ritual and the hiking that preceded said ritual, I was overwhelmed with GRACE for those who chose to stay behind and not attend this journey. I honored their path and allow them to continued to build trust in themselves and the medicine work and in nature and weather. When we arrived, the weather was perfect and mild and incredibly...there was rain everywhere except for where we hiked. All week and the day before, people were scared of bad weather and hard time...
