Original Aztec and Mazatec mushroom rituals?
    #8711793 - 08/01/08 11:55 AM (15 years, 7 months ago)

So Psilocybin mushrooms were originally worshipped as gods by the Aztec and Mazatec cultures: for instance, Psilocybe were known as Teonanácatl, which means flesh of the gods.  Does anyone know the original rituals that were used to commune with the mushroom, though?  I.e., was it performed at night or at day, how much of the mushroom was eaten, whether the participants had their eyes open or closed, etc... I've been curious as to the proper entheogenic rituals that native cultures developed to use the mushroom, but can't find any hard facts anywhere relating to its original sacramental use.

I'm not 100% sure but I think I remember reading something about how they would be in a dark room or something then one person would take a huge dose of the mushrooms then the others would drink the person who indulged in the mushrooms urine which contained the psilocybin. I remember that because of how disgusting it sounded but who am I to criticize their culture?

If you look up the ritual of how the mexican indians took their peyote sacrament I wouldn't doubt it was something similar.

If you go to your local library I'd be willing to bet that there are numerous books on the aztec and mazatec culture and there will be at least a few pages on their sacraments.

That's odd, I could have sworn it was only Amanita Muscaria that was still active through the urine.

Well I just did a little search and it was siberian tribesmen who did that with amantia. My bad but I don't doubt that it could be done with psilocybin mushrooms too. If you can find out who it was that discovered the mushroom  practices of the aztecs.I'm sure that archaeologist has numerous writings on his discovery. I don't know much about e-books but I wouldn't doubt that there is an e-book on the net that has some of his discoverys

Haha thats a good call. I used to be fascinated with they aztecs and they were pretty brutal. They'd play sports and the losing teams would sometimes be sacrificed.
