Ancient sacred use of Fungi * 4
    #28621240 - 01/14/24 04:18 PM (13 days, 14 hours ago)

I have no clue where discussion of the ancient use and history of sacred Fungi goes in this forum, but because my claims here pertain to what I believe is a religious practice and because they are my own theories, I think this is the best spot for them for now.

Evidence for Egyptian use of mushrooms:


This is claimed to be an example of a basket of mushrooms or of mushrooms being cultivated in Ancient Egypt.

Note the shape of the container:


This is not a basket or a case of mushrooms being grown.
It is a jar like this:

Which is also from ancient Egypt.

These kinds of jars are typically associated with wine.
I believe that this image depicts Hathor holding a jar of mushroom wine or tea and that the mushrooms are to illustrate what is in the jar.
I believe that these were a form of Psilocybe mushroom and that the use of these sacred fungi is far more ancient than is often supposed.

Quote:

In the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Papyrus of Ani (Budge 1967), mushrooms are called “the food of the gods,” or “celestial food” and “the flesh of the gods.”




It has been claimed that Egyptians believed that Osiris, the blue God and King of the Dead gave mushrooms to humanity.

Note that the term "flesh of the gods" is the literal translation of Teonanacatl, the Aztec name for the fungi.

Check this out:


In this image, from an Aztec Codex, we have a blue man, aka a dead man, holding mushrooms in one hand and a scepter of authority in the other. This is the the King of the Dead.

In this image the seated figure is divining something in the fire, using the mushrooms. The box becomes unsealed, as it were and the King of the Dead reveals the information through the fire scrying after the eating of the mushrooms. 

Blue God King of the Dead associated with mushrooms.
Note that Osiris is also blue.

So are bruised mushrooms and in both cultures the fungus are known as the Flesh of the Gods.

Think we can find a blue Hindu God or Goddess associated with Indra?


This is not a coincidence, but I don't think we are ready for that topic.
Lets just stick to the fungi for now!

Mushroom pillar from India.

Some claim this represents Amanita, I disagree.
I believe the patterning showing the rooms with figures engaged in various activities surmounted by flowing designs, columns and archways refers to the psychedelic experience.



As for the identity of the mushroom...
look in the hands of these two figures:


The wide cap and short stem is rather consistent with wild type Psilocybe cubensis growing on elephant dung.




Lets go to another example of Vedic sacred art that I believe indicates inspiration from the psychedelic activity of sacred fungi of the genus Psilocybe:


The identification of the mushroom as Amanita is entirely inconsistent with the art and ancient texts.

Amrita was a Psilocybe preparation.

I just had deja vu seeing this part of the pillar, could have sworn I saw it yesterday. I've been reading in magical histories but now not finding the likeness. Btw what's the source of the pillar? What/where is it?

They being Shiva temples presumably, with the image at the top of the pillar, I first thought of a lingam adorned.

Did you read an archeological or anthropological explanation of this? The box the blue entity is coming out of looks to me to the “mandible” piece to represent how to consume the mushrooms “buccaly” it’s been deciphered in the Mixtec Mushroom Codex but looks different. Curious what text you read about the image you posted.
