6. Amanita Muscaria Soma the pressed One And the Holy Grail

Rig Veda; Book IX Hymn LXII 4-8

4. “Strong, mountain-born, the stalk hath been pressed in the streams for rapturous joy: Hawk-like he settles in his home.

5. Fair is the God-loved juice; the plant is washed in waters, pressed by men: the milk cows sweeten it with milk.

6. As drivers decorate a racehorse, so have they adorned the meath’s juice for Ambrosia, for the festival.

7. Thou Soma drop, with thy streams that drop sweet juices, which were poured for help, has settled in the cleansing sieve.

8. So flow thou onward through the fleece, for Indra flow, to be his drink, finding thine home in vats of wood.”

All of the ancient Indo-European religions contain a variant of the Soma ceremony which even thousands of years ago was considered ancient in origin, some religions ascribing the Soma ceremonies creation to the first man, in others it was the Gods who first preformed the Soma sacrifice. The Soma ceremony is the oldest record we have of the interaction between Amanita Muscaria and men, for without the Soma ceremony men would have never discovered that Amanita Muscaria was an Immortal Herb.

In the Soma ceremony the dried Amanita Muscaria earned the name Soma “the pressed one” by being re-hydrated with water and when it had absorbed as much water as it could hold, it was juiced so to speak, by being pressed or pounded between two stones to release the golden colored Amrita; the legendary Nectar of the Gods.

To filter, this juice was poured onto the high end of a wooden trough set at a shallow angle that was lined with “the eternal fleece,” at the other end of the trough the now filtered fluid fell into a large carved wooden vat called the “Drona” (dronakalasa) which was claimed to be Soma’s “home,” into which was added a cooled, previously boiled thin gruel of water, ground or cracked barley, milk, and honey, this gruel, was then ladled from the Drona into wooden or terra cotta pitchers, poured into individual wooden or terra cotta, beakers or cups, and then consumed, generating a Divine rapturous joy in the participants of the ceremony.

When Amanita Muscaria is used in the Soma ceremony you end up with a living wooly looking wooden trough and living magic cups, pitchers, and the Drona or vat, which all become “Soma’s home”. In essence these living cups, are the same as what we call the Holy Grail or the Bibles “Cup of the Lord”.

The same Amanita Muscaria Mushrooms are hydrated and pressed or pounded three times in the Soma Ceremony and are shattered into fragments, the mushrooms are basically gone, however they have released billions of spores and countless microscopic fragments of the mushrooms into the fluid, both of which can come back to life as Amanita Muscaria mycelium, every drop of this fluid is alive with Amanita Muscaria.

When this fluid penetrates the porous walls of a new wooden or terra cotta vessel it carries the microscopic spores and fragments with it. The addition of the foods to this fluid gives the fungus an energy source to grow on; in approximately three days the mycelium will be clearly visible to the human eye, and very much resembles white or gray sheep’s wool or an old mans beard.

Once the Amanita Muscaria mycelium is established in a vessel it is in effect a living vessel, the Herb of Immortality now has a new home and a new symbiotic relationship; one with the man whose cup it now lives in. A symbiosis where the Amanita Muscaria fungus living in the vessel receives food and water, in return the human receives a dose of effective antibiotics and a very unique, profound spiritual experience by consuming the same food and water that was shared with the fungus.

It is this symbiosis that makes the Holy Grail truly “Holy,” a Living Vessel that transforms the simple shared food and water into a Communion meal with a Living God.

The influence of this extremely ancient Communion Ceremony on much more recent religions like Christianity can not be ignored, since the Christian Communion where the participants are supposed to eat the body, and drink the blood of a sacrificed yet living immortal god, is truly based not on a last supper in Jerusalem, but on the ancient Soma Sacrifice ceremony.

The “Christ” or more precisely the Eucharist in the New Testament has more than thirty names. It is simultaneously the “Lamb of God”, the “Living Bread,” a “Living Stone,” a “Living God,” the “Living Water,” the “Resurrection and Life,” the “Son of God” and the “Tree of Life.”

Some of the most bizarre statements ever committed to writing are in the New Testament Bible, most of these strange statements are attributed directly to the mythological founder, and these bizarre statements have confused true believer and nonbeliever alike ever since. This confusion is the natural result of applying these statements to a “real man,” since these same exact bizarre statements make perfect logical sense when they are applied to the ancient Sacramental Herb of Immortality.
