@zezt Thank you for responding. Sometimes one gets the sensation of visiting a library here; but there you are. It is a fear of not being protected during the experience, of harm. Then again, it is the act of undergoing through a process on one's own. These plants have the potential of revealing culturally- shunned aspects of the individual; aspects of love and understanding. The latter, If one is willing to accept what is shown to one's understanding. Thank you for your reassuring words.

@franklottar dont believe it!! of COURSE you can take them without ANY authority--shaman, priest, etc. The whole point is that nature and your nature--when understood with respect-- is the teacher.

I have never tried them. For me, sacred plants were something to be approached with a total humbleness and always with the guide of a Shaman; never out of bare, unconscious curiosity. The first time I heard about them was on the lips of a guy who was working with me in a botanical garden, what a great place for a chat on . Anyway, the guy gave me a horrendous description of what was a senseless, incoherent moment in his life. This stayed with me for some 25 years, then I had Yage; all changed.

Great video, takes me back to fond memories :) - Love the ambient sounds of the campfire and surrounding nature... I remember those sounds being amplified well.

i got shroomed last night for the 1st time in a few months. there were 3 of us. i descovered the secret of the alphabet, the number 12, and resevoir. we also saw a fox running down the road outside. that was awsome! seeing a wild animal like a fox when you are on majic mushrooms is the most exciting thing in the world. if you can make it happen i strongly recomend it.

The first time my friend and i ever consumed these mushrooms, we found ourselves sitting outside at night, looking up at the moon and the stars, discussing the universe
