R. Gordon Wasson and the Sacred Mushroom

[Aya]

Just thought i'd put up some old articles from the late 50's. These are some of the first ever articles to be published in the western world on The Divine Mushroom and the Mazatec Ceremonys.

Will add a few more later if anyone is interested.

Hope you enjoy.

Hope you don't mind I put them into a PDF format for easy reading.

did the mazatecs use psilocybin mushies or Amanitas?

Interesting how mushrooms and especially those stone statues featuring human joined to a mushroom are very phallic looking.

Psilocybe mushrooms.

Yeah the aztecs used magic mushrooms.

You can come to mexico and see the pyramids and such.

Its not anything but creepy.

But a political system. Not a to be blamed on the psilcybin mushrooms.

Although used in such a manner.
