  2. The Ancient Whisper of the Sacred
    Mushroom
    Long before words were written, before empires Rose and fell, the mushroom whispered secrets to the ancient Egyptians.In the shadowed halls of timeless temples, these
    sacred fungi were the keys-unlocking doors to
    realms beyond the seen, gateways to cosmic wisdom.

  4. In this close-up photo, you can see that San Pedro cacti 🌵 have 6 to 8 ribs. The plant grows more ribs as it gets bigger. Of course the symbolic of the number of ribs can be of importance during ceremonies. I heard some have as many as 13, 17...!

    Notice also the nice green-blue colour.

    This photo was taken from the same botanical garden than the previous one.

  5. New thread 🧵! I want to talk about San Pedro, the cactus 🌵.

    It's a plant medicine that is very dear to me because of its capacity to open your heart.

    It grows in the mountain regions of the Andes, especially in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia.

    San Pedro is used for different closely related cacti. Here is a photo of Trichocereus macrogonus var. pachanoi I took in a botanical garden in Quito..

  6. The ceremony is now underway. While the ayahuasca is working, everybody is playing music, singing, and dancing.

    It's a real celebration of life. The music, the fire, the dance... everything takes on a surreal aspect. I ask myself if I am dreaming or if it is reality!

  9. The ayahuasca has cooled down and is ready. It's around 8pm, the ceremony will start soon, the medicine man has already set up the altar in the maloca. Sacred and meaningful objects are placed in its centre (tobacco, feather fans, containers, icons...).

    I can feel nervousness and excitement in my belly.

  13. It finally starts to look like ayahuasca! The brew is left to simmer and reduce. It gradually takes on its characteristic dark brown colour.

  16. When all the liquid has been drained out, what's left is the fibres of the ayahuasca vines and chacruna leaves.
    There's no use for it, and it is discarded.

  19. Once it has boiled for a little while, the brew is left to cool down briefly. The ayahuasca vines and chacruna leaves are separated, filtered out, from the liquid.

  22. The next step consists of adding water to the ayahuasca vines and chacruna leaves and bring it to a boil. Typically, a couple of hours are needed to extract the compounds from the plants.

    This is done in the ceremonial maloca where the sacred events and community rituals take place.

  25. When the vines are clean, they are beaten in order to separate the fibres. This will allow the active principles of ayahuasca to infuse the brew.

  28. Next, the bark of the vine is rasped with a knife. This is a tedious step, but a very important one. You want to keep the vine intact while removing anything on the outside that may pollute the brew (lichen, moss...).

  33. Let's talk about the preparation of ayahuasca. What is ayahuasca?
    It is a brew made of the ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi, on the left) and the leaves of chacruna (Psychotria viridis, on the right). Both growing natively in the Amazon.
    I took these photos in the state of Acre in Brazil.

  40. Hey folks! 👋 New here from the UK (39M).

    I'm fascinated by the potential of #psychedelics and #entheogens, especially in ceremonial contexts. Been on this path since 2022 for personal growth and healing.

    I'm currently diving into the scientific research (for mental health applications) and various #indigenous traditions.

    Would love to chat with fellow explorers, researchers, and curious minds! Drop me a line if any of this resonates 🍄🌵🌱
