DATURA (D. STRAMONIUM) ☠️🥀

Datura is a genus of nine species of poisonous flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae. Datura is known as powerful and dangerous deliriants, used for shamanic and medical purposes, as well as poisons. They contain the potent anticholinergic substances scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and atropine primarily in their seeds and flowers. The reported effects post-ingestion have been commonly reported as states of psychotic delirium, longterm amnesia—and oftentimes results in fatality.

Hyoscyamus Niger, is another botanical ally of witches, sciamans, diviners since ancient times.

• The human relationship with this plant is at least 8000 years old: the most ancient findings of an undetermined specie of henbane's seeds were from a Neolithic site in Farafra, Egypt, dated VII to VI millennium b.c.

• In Greek mythology it is said that the dead in Hades were crowned with Henbane, as they wandered beside the River Styx which separated them from the land of the living.

• Due to the high concentration of psychoactive substances, the plant was used to induce visions, for divinatory purposes and for spirit flight, especially if mixed with other baneful plants linked to Sorcery.

What was in Panoramix (Getafix) magic potion? (From The Adventures of Asterix)

The other day I was reading that the Vikings who were Berserkers (the guys who fought practically naked with a big axe and entered into an insane trance where they didn’t feel pain or even recognize allies) probably ate magic mushrooms such as Amanita Muscaria (the red one with white dots) that helped them get into that trance, this mushroom contains psychoactive effects when eaten raw, but it seems to have a grade of toxicity, if you eat about 15 of those, they can kill you.

It’s likely though that they weren’t eating shrooms since it can cause numbness and dizziness. Perhaps it was a different plant such as henbane that is also psychoactive and is also toxic in high doses, or they were just drinking alcohol before wars or fights. I also found they could’ve been using cannabis, but it doesn’t sound very likely.

So, who knows really what they were eating or drinking. Or if they didn’t really consume anything before fights.

Amanita Muscaria.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From information about trips with magic mushrooms (the most common ones that people use to trip contain psilocybin, a different one from the ones Vikings could’ve eaten). It seems that there are different effects during the trip, people report to feel anxious, then to feel heavy and forceless, but also to have moments when they feel very energetic and feel like they want to do physical stuff. And at the end, nausea, and stomach unpleasantness. The thing in common seems to be that pain goes away completely during the trip, and people can really be in the moment without worries, also to have thoughts or ideas they didn’t have before.

With psychoactive stuff, it seems that the context will also affect how one feels, what comes to mind or not, and so the effect can change a bit depending on the situation.

Perhaps within the context of a battle to the death, the Vikings could use mushrooms in their advantage and get the energetic and relief effects? Or perhaps even use cannabis this way? A mixture of different drugs? We will never know for sure. But it’s highly likely they used something.

Now, for Panoramix (Getafix) magic potion (of course that just for fiction and fun purposes). In the comics and movies the potion contained leaves, fruits, even fish and oil, and a bunch of other stuff, but there was a secret ingredient that Panoramix kept hidden in his sickle, and he only needed to use a few liquid drops in a big cauldron. They didn’t have coffee by then, so it couldn’t be coffee. In that area of France (northwest) there are psilocybin mushrooms, aside from that, it’s unlikely they had access to cannabis or other psychoactive stuff.

So, perhaps Panoramix made a magic mushroom tea and put that in the magic potion, and that was what made everyone so strong. I can’t imagine what other ingredient he could’ve used, and in a fictional context, this makes sense (at least that the writer was probably inspired by this knowledge).

Psilocybe cubensis.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just to conclude this strange post, it’s likely the Vikings and so many other people consumed (at that time) magic mushrooms for rituals or for religious purposes, but who knows, maybe they did consume them before fighting. And it’s funny and interesting to think the secret ingredient for the magic potion in Asterix was magic mushrooms.

Psylocibin has started to be used (with great success it seems) to treat depression and strong addictions, but has some contraindications, for example, anyone with any predisposition or signs to have a mental disorder shouldn’t try them at all, they could make appear or worsen a mental disorder.

Some people seem to be really nervous or worried about people consuming magic mushrooms nowadays. I say that, well, we’ve been consuming this stuff for thousands of years and a lot of inspiration for all kinds of art comes from there (such as mandalas), it can be seen in paintings, in in architecture, in Persian rugs, in clothes, etc. perhaps even other important ideas and inventions came from people who were expert in different subjects and consumed psychoactive drugs. It could have given them a different perspective that ended in a useful idea (some people who studied a subject for years have said they had a better understanding of the subject after consuming magic shrooms, perhaps this happens because of the new perspective one can have after consuming them).

They are very powerful little things considering they can have many other uses besides recreational use, and considering their historical use, such as religious ceremonies, they should continue to be consumed and tested to fight things such as depression and addictions. Use with caution, but do use them I’d say.

THE PROBLEM WITH YERBA MATE During lockdown I decided to experiment with a range of botanicals which were freely available and which sometimes had conflicting claims to be psychoactive. One of these was yerba mate, which is openly sold in most major supermarkets as an alternative to regular tea (and which contains theobromine and theophylline).

I also post this as a public service announcement on the basis of its link to cancer, which is not very well known (but which is widely cited on medical sites). Remember that sometimes even the weaker stuff can pose hidden dangers.

-

EXCERPT FROM THE DRUG USERS BIBLE Originally popular in central and southern regions of South America, yerba mate is now found across the world, including within a variety of energy drinks.  Whilst it has been on my radar for some years I have hesitated to engage largely on the basis of the following health warning, courtesy of Mayo Clinic:

“However, some studies indicate that people who drink large amounts of yerba mate over long periods may be at increased risk of some types of cancer, such as cancer of the mouth, throat and lungs. Drinking very hot yerba mate — 149 F (65 C) or hotter — is associated with a higher risk of cancer than is drinking yerba mate at cooler temperatures.”

On the other side of the coin, it is frequently claimed to have a number of health benefits, such as reduction of cholesterol, improved immune response and the aiding of digestion.

At time of writing there is a considerable amount of hype around the Internet promoting this tea, which tends to cite a range of such health benefits, as well as comparing it positively to coffee, typically claiming that it delivers the buzz without the jitters.

I acquired my yerba mate from the local supermarket, selecting a well known brand. I subsequently brewed my tea pig in boiling water for 3 minutes and then allowed it to cool (as per the health warning above).

I began sipping the brew at 12 noon. It had a sort of tangy fresh edge to it, with a mild earthy back taste, not at all like regular tea. For context, at the start of the experiment I was a little weary, having had a short nap and a vegetarian brunch.

I did feel more of a sense of well-being after consumption, with less of a caffeine buzz than regular tea. For me, occasional claims that it is mildly psychedelic are rather strong. That well-being, however, could possibly be stretched to empathogenic, carried along with some mental clarity and the gentle stimulation. Its taste was decent, but given the citation above it's only one for occasional use.

It was quite pleasant and refreshing in the circumstances, and it was something of a surprise that it did indeed have a distinct effect. This faded gradually during the afternoon.

Overall, if expectations are not set unreasonably high, this provides a positive experience, and is one which I may repeat given the correct circumstance in the future.

The way that air bubbles float to the surface of a beverage when carbonated, is the same way these thoughts and fears float into our awareness in altered states of consciousness. To a lesser and tamer extent with Cannabis, to a strong degree with Psilocybin. If you really want to get to the root of your subconscious, I suggest taking psilocybin with a trusted trip sitter.

I say all that to say this: there comes a time when we HAVE to look at our emotions, we HAVE to look inside the holy cup that is our heart and see what's there (even if it's a strange fish). It's contents hold greater wisdom and understanding than any external source ever could. The page of cups asks us to take off the filtering mechanism and begin to swim in the rivers of the mind and oceans of the unconscious.
