Paul Stamets- 6 ways mushrooms save the world

Great talk by Paul Stamets breaking down the overall function of the fungal world and how it ties eveything together. He also outlines six specific ways that mushrooms and mycelium can be used to basically clean up the mess we are in. To see Paul Stamets talk about magic mushrooms scroll down or simply CLICK HERE.

Manna is Magic Mushrooms



Pretty convincing argument for biblical use of magic mushrooms. But mushroom shamans already know this, magic mushrooms are God's gift from heaven.

Everyone was on mushrooms untill recently

Cool short vid by Terrence Mckenna. Its actually pretty funny, but check your bible: Gen 1 and Gen 2 are two entirely different stories, one perfect, one flawed. Which one does the mushroom shaman work for?

Entheogen The Movie

Here is the complete Documentary "Entheogen", with Stan Grof, Ralph, Metzner, Marilyn Schlitz, and Barabara Marx Hubbard. I am posting it in 9 parts because that is how You tube has it. May this educate the Mushroom Shamans of the world.

Amanita Muscaria Actual Trip Studied

This an episode on Amanita Muscaria mushroom or Fly Agaric and its psychedelic use, by the British show Sacred Weed. Unfortunatly, they dont tell you how they prepared it, but it an awsome show. Sacred Weeds only has about four or five episodes, before it was cancelled. The others are on Salvia Divinorum, Henbane and Blue Lotus. Amanta is a special shamanic tool.

The Shaman is the Forest's Rep (and vice versa)

This is just a two minute video by National Geograpic, shot in the Amazon. The Video is about how the shaman knows the useful plants in the rainforest and how scientists have just caught on and are recording the shamans knowledge. The amazon is being destroyed and the fact that the shaman knows the medicinal value of it is really its last hope, even though without the medicine from the rainforest we have no hope. Think about that, then think about this: said by Paul Stamets in the intro to Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms: "The temparate forests of North America, particularly the mycologically (emphasis mine)rich Pacific Northwest, may well be viewed as the pharmaceutical companies viewed the Amazon Basin earlier in the twentieth century." The northen forests are medicninally rich as well especially when it comes to fungi, and their native shaminc tool is the magic mushroom. Just as the ayahuasca shaman will save the Amazon rainforest, so must the mushroom shaman rise to the occasian, and become the forest, or let the forest become her/him

Magic Mushroom Hunting Documentary

This is a great little documentary about picking and hunting for magic mushroom in wales. The faces of the folks in the video are blurred to protect their identity because, like in most so called "civilized" countries the very act of picking musch less ingesting a magic mushroom is illegal. However, this video adresses some great topics, like, "how to identify a magic mushroom", "where to find magic mushrooms?" and even "what is eating a magic mushroom like?". They are hunting liberty caps, but mjost of the rules apply no matter what sort of magic mushroom you are hunting. For a mushroom shaman, learing the rules of magic mushroom hunting is a must. I hope thsi video helps you on your shamanic journey.

Zeitgeist the Movie


I have posted the full Zeitgeist movie here as it is a must see flick for any mushroom shaman. That all of the religions of the world are based on natural cycles and the rhythms of nature is the basic underlying understanding that will allow us to see what is off kilter and what needs to be renewed. Deterioration and renewal are the unchanging laws of nature which in effect means that the only constant is change.
For the circle to be unbroken the Mushroom Shaman must always recognize the deterioration, without dismay; and participate in the renewal, with joy.
