Being a Psychedelic Shaman or Hallucinogenic Magick in Theory and Practice

I have been using mind altering drugs for spiritual exploration for most of my adult life. I am 41 now and I feel like I am just beginning to understand how these amazing substances can really change the world. I have also been studying magick, shamanism and mysticism for most of my adult life. When I started combining the two over 20 years ago, there wasn't much published on the subject.

As we seek to experience our primal/cosmic natures, the imagined solution may only be compounding the problem. If the (ab)use of entheogens were decimating our own individual "biospheres" and preventing us from having full access to our faculties, this would exactly mirror the ways in which our disconnection from the environment has affected the Earth's biosphere.

About Me

Bio

I've been on quite an adventurous spiritual journey since I got sober 17 years ago. I've been blessed to be able to use my weaknesses to help others overcome addiction. My path has led me all over the world, searching for "WHO AM I". I feel these are truly amazing times we are living in, and I have a choice as to how I'm going to take this ride. Am I gonna sit on the sidelines and question the motives of others, or am I going to get off my ass and do something to help others evolve. My life is simple and abundant. My truth is this whole trip is an inside job, and that it's my thoughts that create my reality. If my life is fucked, I can look into the mirror as to why. God is Love.

Positive Possibilities for Psychedelics: A Time of Tentative Celebration
James Fadiman

For those of us involved with psychedelics, this is a time of unexpected changes, a time of tentative celebration. After decades of winter, the ice is thinning. The warming trends toward legalization; increased religious, medical, and psychotherapeutic use; scientific exploration; and cultural acceptance are encouraging.

About Me

Bio

I'm from Vancouver. I absolutely love it here; the trees, the ocean, and yes even the rain! It makes me feel like I am an elf living in a mossy damp magical forest when its rainy and foggy. So I'm happy. When I'm not dreaming of being elfin, I dream of being a shaman or an anthropologist who studies them. Or a documentary film maker documenting DMT ceremonies....and sometimes an Enya-like songstress. But instead, I am a graphic designer. Although it's not exactly what I imagine myself doing. I just trust the universe that somehow I will use this more than any other of my ideas to help our evolve our world in one way or another! :)

Skills and talents
Making beauty....usually on the computer. Went to school for Fashion Communication, got a bachelors degree in design, watched zeitgeist and said screw it all! So most of my experience is just freelance graphic design. Making ratatouille. Getting bored with my current locations and moving. Decorating my house with very little money. Speed-reading. Staring off into space for hours at a time.
Interests
art, child development, collecting beautiful objects, Design, Entheogens, Film, indigeneous cultures, lord of the rings, Nature, Shamanism, SPIRIT ANIMALS, surrealism

Currently unemployed and between undergrad and graduate school.

The First Supper: Entheogens and the Origin of Religion
Ruck Hoffman Go...

It has been speculated that the explosion in brain size 1.5 million years ago, occurred when our ancestors began to consume consciousness-altering foods. Perhaps our species became truly human when we ate of those sacred Eucharistic foods ritualistically in groups, in what can be seen as First Suppers.

The Here and Now

There is something very disturbing that is occurring in the music scene that I have noticed as of recently. I have been watching this pick up steam over the years o from being a promoter and being in the industry in general, but it has truly reached a point of serious concern. The issue I am talking about is, drug addiction and excessive use.

On Creativity, Marijuana and "a Butterfly Effect in Thought"
Jason Silva

Many creative tasks require an expansive associative net, a "flat associative hierarchy." Creative people need to make far-reaching connections among all sorts of seemingly unrelated ideas. The heightened ability to make novel associations is the hallmark of creative thinkers, who are always searching for epiphanies. This is why Marijuana is perhaps one of the best cognitive tools for creativity.

On the Edge of Life and Death: The Niños Santos Way
Sarah Maiden

When I first encountered the mushrooms, I had been taking antidepressants for years. The mushrooms told me I was an addict and that the pills were toxic to me. After being hospitalized due to my reaction to Paxil at age 19, I decided the mushrooms were right. Eventually, I met a Mazatec grandmother who holds a Niños Santos lineage of curandisimo.

Earth consciousness uses us "druggies" as foot soldiers

I think that the planet consciousness/mass consc uses certain shamanic plants as like a phone ,or like an advanced pheromone , and certain people are good receivers for the messages , when they get high they get the right visions and their experiences shape their goals in life in a way that are in line with nature etc ...

Terence McKenna's Last Trip
Erik Davis

The psychedelic philosopher and mushroom advocate Terence McKenna sometimes seriously and sometimes playfully predicted that a transformative event for planetary consciousness would happen on December 21, 2012. In Spring 1999, not long before his untimely passing, McKenna discussed his pathbreaking ideas with Erik Davis for this now-legendary article for Wired.
