I found my aminita shaman

His name is John Scott and he is from Australia. Twenty years ago he mistook some aminita muscaria mushrooms for an edible mushroom and ate a crazy dose, after which he had a three day near death experience.
Ever since I began using aminitas I realized I needed a shaman, someone to help me make sense of the experience. I considered going with the somashamans (http://www.somashamans.com) but a few things about them really sent red flags. For instance, their website is basically just an advertisement for their book and their DVD. THey have very little useful information on their website, only saying you should buy the book if you want to learn their knowledge.
Lately I have been so turned off by money and materialism and the whole damn system that I just couldn't bring myself to purchase their book. I felt like if they were truly loving beings, they would make at least some of their information available for free, especially considering how sorely needed information on this entheogen is. Just looking into my own heart, I am so excited about the potential of this mushroom I just could not imagine keeping my mouth shut about it until people paid up.
Anyway, back to John Scott. After watching a few of his videos, I realized he was my guy. Everything he was saying made sense to me, despite how crazy and radical much of it is compared to conventional thought. He didn't try to sell me anything and I can just tell he is a good and trustworthy soul. He also provided shamanic healing drumming which guided my last aminita trip into an incredible place of healing.
If you are interested in aminita (which is so much more powerful than psilocybin, spiritually) then you should definitely watch his videos.

He said that in Australia they have an orange mushroom that is extremely edible. He was alone in the bush and hungry and dusk had fallen. In the twilight he stumbled upon a group of aminitas and thought they were his beloved orange mushrooms without inspecting them too closely.

Says who?
I would avoid amanita, if I were you. It is poisonous to your liver. The Soma Shaman, for instance, admits that he has damaged his liver by his heavy usage of this mushroom.
But you are probably too much of a zealot to pay me any heed, so I will stop pissing into your hurricane.

Says I, as well the soma shaman. And I know it is dangerous to your liver, but so is alcohol.
The soma shaman Hawk has taken aminita every day for 25 or 30 years and claims to have suffered from 18 overdoses during which he had a heart attack, convulsions and kidney failure.
If he still alive after 30 years of daily use, often in insane doses, then I think I will be alright doing it a couple times a week in moderate doses for a little while. So I think his record speaks for the safety of aminita more than the danger. What kind of person overdoses 18 times on a magic mushroom?

I think there are much better options. I highly disagree that Amanita are more powerfull than psilocybin, and with the availability of psilocybin mushrooms, DMT , mescaline ... all the classics at an all time high I dunno why anyone would eat such icky mushrooms
Really in the modern world shamans are almost counterproductive. Due to the very nature of psycedelics a shaman doesnt know any more about the meaning of the experience as you

"Amanita muscaria has no hepatotoxic effects." http://www.inchem.org/documents/pims/fungi/pimg026.htm
"Soma shamans" are fraudulent business people. His supposed liver damage and his secret to avoiding it could be a sales pitch. Or it is a genetic condition. Perhaps alcohol or prescription drugs are the cause of it. Bottom line is, there is no liver damage from this fungus. Brain damage on the other hand, though not likely, is possible. There is not enough research to tell.

Icky mushroom? Dude, you have no clue what you are talking about. Aminita muscaria is the supreme entheogen (entheogeno supremo), cactus, psilocybin, DMT, aren't even in the same league.

Hello "John Scott". It's quite apparent to most here that this is an advertisement for your 'business'.
Amanita doesn't hold a candle to psilocybin, mescaline, LSD.... Nice try though
