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.

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...).

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 agree with everything @Vincarsi says here and being mindful of "set and setting". This has long been part of good usage advice for entheogens (my preferred term for "psychedelics"). Indeed, it's good advice for mind-alteration experiments of any kind (meditation retreats etc).
