The Importance of Shamanic Wisdom and Regarding Hallucinogenic Plants
By Power Path
Posted on March 18, 2023
The previous article focused on the problems that can occur when someone combines pharmaceutical medicines and chemical compounds from the laboratory with natural entheogenic plants that have not been altered in any significant way. Here we will continue the discussion about the great interest by the general public in indigenous plant medicines and the need for greater understanding of the knowledge that indigenous cultures have compiled over many centuries, even thousands of years. The plants I will be referencing here include ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, huachuma (aka San Pedro), peyote, and...
This title came to me during the last Huachuma (San Pedro) ceremony while I was lying on the ground, observing a tango between eucalyptus trees and the wind.
The moment of clarity seemed to stretch in time and afforded me a deeper look into a problem of mental health in the west: Mainstream psychiatry does not have a solution to severe depression. Neither words, that only can lead so far, nor pharmacology, that’s good for suppressing symptoms — while masking root causes,...
While journeys with these medicines are such deeply personal and healing experiences, our world is shaped by the conduct of all individuals combined. As so many individuals transform, there must be some larger effect on our world. When will we see it manifest?
Those who’ve had the calling and the courage to step into sacred ceremony tend to carry these experiences with them for a...
Nearly seven years ago, Colorado citizens—tired of the war on drugs and wise to the near-limitless benefits of cannabis—made US history by voting to legalize recreational marijuana. Now, this state has once again placed themselves on the right side of history as they voted this month to decriminalize magic mushrooms. But this was just the beginning and their momentum is spreading—faster and stronger, toward decriminalizing all plant-based psychedelics.
ENTHEOGEN: derived from ancient Greek words meaning “full of god, or inspired by the divine within.”
While people all over the world are seeking alternative, holistic approaches to emotional challenges, physical healing and spiritual awakening, many are finding that conventional methods are not as fast or effective as they would like. Consequently, the use of entheogenic medicines (also known as psychedelics) has risen dramatically over the last couple of decades.
Although there are multiple choices in the arena of entheogens, Ayahuasca...
Ayahuasca is a South American entheogenic brew traditionally drunk by shamans to connect with the spirit world. In the past decade or so, it has sent waves of seekers to the Amazon jungle looking for healing, and the expansion of consciousness — myself included.
I was 2000 something miles away from the comfort of my home in a dimly lit room smelled heavily of sage. One by one, we took the cup from the shaman, and drank the...
Some great number of years back a maniacal psychiatrist wanted me to hop on the antidepressant bus. I asked him for how long I might need to be on the pills, to which he replied, “Forever.”
You see, according to this esteemed professional I had a chemical imbalance that would require the ongoing supplementation of mass-produced chemicals into my body and brain. It was not my fault, he suggested, just bad luck in the procurement of serotonin, he supposed.
Turns out he was dead wrong. And lucky for me, I was able...
In the past I’ve written about some of the consequences of alcohol consumption, and many of our readers have gotten very upset with what I’ve had to say. I want to address this right off the bat here and say there is absolutely no judgment within this article, and I’m not attempting to tell you what you should or should not be doing. I am merely speaking from my own experiences and sharing some insight that I have gained; I’m offering another perspective and potentially something useful for you to consider....
IN A QUEST TO EASE PRESSURES ON THE BRAZILIAN PRISON SYSTEM, MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS HAVE OPTED TO GIVE PRISON INMATES THE PSYCHEDELIC BREW AYAHUASCA, IN THE HOPES OF HELPING THEM TO WORK THROUGH THEIR DEEPLY-ROOTED EMOTIONAL TRAUMAS.
It is no secret that the current prison system lies in shambles. Overcrowded holding spaces, abusive staff, unsanitary living conditions — such environments rarely lead to redemption and rehabilitation, but instead almost always seed further violence, aggression, and feelings of alienation from society.
While some prisons are now offering holistic services such as yoga, meditation, and Reiki, prisoners’...
Of all the spiritual teachers I have worked with, ayahuasca has been the most powerful, the wisest, as well as the toughest. Her love for you is so great that she will again and again take you down the rabbit holes and the darkest places inside of you until the lessons are learned and mastered.
This article is based on my personal account of working with this powerful medicine during one of my ceremonies though no two journeys are ever alike even for the...

The following is excerpted from Listening to Ayahuasca by Rachel Harris, PhD, published by New World Library.
Ayahuasca, a psychedelic brew from the Amazon rainforest, is entering the Western lexicon through the popular media, the internet, and first-person reports. Considered a medicine by practitioners, the tea has great therapeutic potential that is just beginning to be studied. As a result of her own personal experience with ayahuasca, Dr. Rachel Harris was inspired to research how this medicine was being used...

Greetings Masters, I am Metatron, Angelic of Light, and I am joined in this session by Tyberonn of Crystalline Service. We greet each of you in a vector of Unconditional Love!
There are many paths for a human to walk and all of integrity will find their light. So it is always true that discernment is required.
Dear Ones, change is the nature of reality, and ‘reality’ is ever expanding as consciousness expands. All that you term...
Have you ever sensed that “something” is just not right about reality – like there is an important secret on the verge of being revealed?
The character Neo in the Matrix represents that sense; the part of us who knows that there is more to this convoluted game of life than meets the eye.
Escaping the heavy cloak of disempowerment:
Humanity has been asleep under a heavy cloak of lies for a very long time. Because our ancestors were drugged with disillusionment and disempowerment, through no fault of their own, disempowering beliefs have...
This article is a study of natural medicinal plants and their potential for treatment of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, ALS and other neuro-degenerative diseases. It is the culmination of six years work, having studied ethnobotanical medicine and the field of neuro-disease, making connections between the two in the search for something viable in terms of an alternative treatment option for ALS – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and similar neuro-degenerative conditions.

My first Ayahuasca experience occurred in the spring of 2013 somewhere in the Brazilian Rainforest. Little did I know at that time how my life would be changed forever — as if I had taken the red pill option from the movie The Matrix, choosing to see rather than hide from reality. The veil had been lifted, and I started seeing the entire world in a new light. It has been almost 3 years since that first day (and many other Ayahuasca experiences in between), and I have finally got around to putting some thoughts out here into...

The video below details what you can expect to encounter on an ayahuasca journey to Peru. Ayahuasca, Amazonian plant mixture capable of inducing altered states of consciousness.
Ayahuasca is used primarily as a medicine and as a shamanic means of communication, typically in a ceremonial session under the guidance of an experienced drinker. Here is a guide to Ayahuasca with some helpful information for those who would like to try it.

Anyone can take Ayahuasca but most people who go on the journey have experienced some type of trauma in...
What are your thoughts on Ayahuasca? Do you believe its bad as many people label it or do you really have your own honest opinion about it? Apparently, it helps to alleviate depression and anxiety – illnesses that many take prescribed medications for.
Gary is a London-based ayahuasca user that used to suffer from anxiety as well as panic attacks. He now heavily believes that consuming ayahuasca can help with depression.
He mentioned.
“[Ayahuasca] is a very potent tool that shakes your psyche up and puts...
