I love when i'm tripping and my mom calls...i dunno why i do this but i have this fearless attitude that i can completely maintain composure on the phone with my mom... cuase lord if she found i was tripping... well.. she wouldn't know what it was, and then she's get really really mad. but i've been able to pull it off... There's always a voice in me that tells me "pick it up, you wanna hear mamma" and i do and i'm terrified and i tell her i love her and it's over, but aside from that little fear i have of her noticing something funny? it feels really nice to hear my moms voice on the phone.

Eat less the day of and the day before. Tidy up the house and make sure every thing is clean.Make sure my music and drawing papers are in reach and an easy to find spot.

It's kinda cool to me that people clean up their house before they trip, cuz I do too.

I don't do anything specific, but I am always well prepared. I have taken up meditating everyday for a few days before I trip. (in general I only do it once or twice a week)

I have to do that too, otherwise I end up cleaning while I'm tripping.
Usually I know days in advance and mentally prepare myself as much as possible. The day of, I'll go make sure I have some tasty snacks and herb and such, and that's really all the preparation I need.

I wouldn't call them rituals, per-say, but I make sure my body is going to be prepared.
I follow an almost identical format, the only addition being that I always drink grapefruit juice when I dose.

Well, not necessarily specifically for psychedelics, but before going to any party where I plan on doing either ecstacy or some psychedelic, I spend an hour at my altar meditating.

turn off and unplug phones, clocks and computers.... clocks all say 88:88 when i'm tripping which bugs me out so i jsut turn em off and forget about time's existence, computers are for sober people at least in my case, and well i don't want to talk to anyone on the phone while tripping. i normally have someone with me or coming to check on me midway though if its going to be high dose...
i've had other rituals in the past but right now don't practice any with a trip...

No food at least 3 hours prior to ingestion, though a big feast early in the day is okay for night journeys. No venom shooting for at least 2 days prior to the journey. Important: The elimination of as many hangups as possible- phone turned off(though kept on person in case of emergency), no work or expectations next day, location choice that does'nt require driving at any portion, having all necessities at hand, etc. I practice asanayoga and ritual magick everyday, prior to a trip is no exception. The only difference being that I will do asana prior to the banishings and energy work instead of the usual other way around. In the past, I have also tried invoking a God(ess) which I felt would resonate with the drug utilized. This never worked as well for me as if it were a formal invocation in itself, which makes sense as the taking of a drug is an invocation(usually a very effective one!) in essence. A few people already stated that they like to meditate prior to a journey. This is good for obvious reasons, however, it is very important to not let expectation or enthusiasm enter your mind as this will make the meditation, and quite possibly the trip, nearly pointless. Quite hard for a beginner, though this is where daily meditation and/or awareness exercise helps. Instead of holding the attitude "this trip is going to be awesome", try "this trip is necessary". For the come-up, I find it good to take a bath in as clean an environment as possible. This not only has a relaxing effect, but the warmth of the water may also help with nausea if the substance involved can cause that. I also find a short compilation of good music to be pleasing for a come-up- and it does'nt have to be peaceful! After this, I prefer not to listen to music until late in the comedown stage. For me, this is the routine that I followed mostly for psilocybin journeys(of which, I have not partaken in for quite some time). For my more recent(though widely spaced-I rarely use "drugs" anymore ) endeavors with muscaria, oral cannabis, and ketamine, I deemed the workings of the latter paragraph unnecessary due to the different come-up characteristics. I must say that I did'nt always put forth as much of a discipline in my workings and had many a so-called spontaneous trip. I do'nt regret those times, but there was always a much greater chance of mishap and danger when I was'nt very careful(including such adventures as a police encounter, getting lost in the woods in darkness and having to forge a freezing cold creek, having an obe whilst driving and regaining awareness of my physical body to the sight of oncoming headlights). There was, consequently, a greater occurrence of "bad trips"(mostly due to an untrained mind). Of course, the bad trips that I have experienced were just as effective as the "good" ones. Everyone should experience the absolute horror of a bad trip sometime in their life. It is through extreme fear and desolation that love and unity are found- if you will. This is a subject for another topic, I shall stop. Oh yeah, never trip with a vampire!

I set a day and a time, when I can..but sometimes I have just ate it soon after I got the drug. I notice If I plan put the trip on a certain day and time, I get a much better spirtual experience from a psychedelic.

it also depends completly on what im taking. mushrooms i know i am going to see my mother. so i dress nice. i clear as much clutter out of my head as i can. and i calm myself befor actual taking the drug. acid is more like "well ok here we go, hold on tight and dont let the fractals cut your fase off" dmt i still cannot prepare myself for (im assuming thats true for everyone as well) i just cant take the final step and just smoke the damn stuff

Fasting, meditation, and ....playing certain music, both on guitar, and on the computer before dosing. Nothing to serious. But I find certain rituals important.
Side note: over time I have discovered, that I ALWAYS would rather have pot to smoke during my trip, it helps the visuals, and takes the edge off. I have postponed trips before simply because I didn't have any pot or enough pot.

nope i can't say i have any rituals but like most people here i prepare for the experience by making sure my body and mind are relaxed (stretching and breathing deeply to sort of wake the body up)
i also remind my self to be open and accepting.
and i dance
