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...

Update to the Microdosing 2016 Article for MushroomShaman.com

Microdosing is an interesting shamanic art and alchemical practice. I personally practiced this several years ago with Psilocybe Cubensis, Magic Mushrooms and Magic Cactus (containing mescaline). I rather enjoyed the everyday experience and the substances did provide better days, uplifted mood, and courage in relationships and communication. I am unaware of a drug test that can detect Magic Mushrooms after 24 hours of being in your system and this may also be true with mescaline (but that depends on the test, although most employee drug tests won’t detect it). I have taken psilocybin mushrooms in qualities as small as .1 of a gram to ease physical and nervous pain (and headaches). I have found that once an individual becomes adjusted or comfortable with the microdose, it is incredibly easy to sleep on/through and helps with the visionary state between sleeping and waking (hypnagogia). Last year, I introduced a method of microdosing to my friends in the Phoenix, AZ area so that the...

The Rise of Psychedelic Shamanism

Currently, there is still a heavy, state and private organization biased push towards natural substances either becoming or remaining illegal while pharmaceutical drugs being fully accepted and legal in the USA, even as new evidence mounts to the efficacy of pure plant medicine from Nature. Much of American culture, including the medical establishment, is focused primarily on death and perhaps there many people who know more about this than I. You can see the outcome of our collective suicidal tendency everyday, in the way we work, in the way we go about life and the decisions made, with results rarely for the good of the whole in the long run, but just for a select chosen few and for a short amount of time. I might argue our society actually died some time ago and we are now just living on the fermentation before the rise of AI government, as we long for the memories of the "good old days" before “the Matrix” and geoengineering took hold. In time, the Earth will breakdow...
