25. Some Thoughts

Amanita Muscaria is the most widely distributed natural intoxicant on planet Earth being found on all continents except Antarctica, this fact in itself would guaranty a lot of stories about Amanita Muscaria worldwide. Amanita Muscaria when properly prepared is a much safer plant intoxicant than many commonly used intoxicating plants like poppy, henbane, datura, or belladonna since these plants can easily cause death with just a small overdose.

In the northern forests Amanita Muscaria is the most easily recognized and exploitable source of large quantities of effective antibiotics, this would also generate a lot of stories of Amanita Muscaria doing miraculous healing and cures.

The Amanita Muscaria mushroom is very distinctive in appearance and with a little training is easily distinguished from all other mushrooms, some of which can be deadly.

The Immortality exhibited by Amanita Muscaria is a source of wonder, and the source of all the magic vessel legends of ancient Eurasia. Since this immortality can be exploited by using magic cups or other cultivation techniques to extend the supply of this very special life form the cults using Amanita Muscaria would not have to maintain a large supply of mushrooms.

The unique fragrance and taste of dried Amanita Muscaria resembles honey and is sweet to the taste unlike most other medicinal or psychoactive plants.

Our ancestors discovered a living treasure in the forests and they used it. This practical knowledge they passed from generation to generation for ages in story, song and ritual.

Some time between the ancient world and the modern world the secret to understanding these stories and rituals was lost. These stories evolving into sacred books, myth, or Folk stories while the rituals became the outward signs of various religions, yet without the knowledge of the ancient sacrament the stories became unintelligible and the ancient rituals became meaningless.

The real and practical ancient living god of our ancestors was hidden from us and was replaced by a truly worthless even dangerous supernatural god. This is a concept of god created by men to control men, as this modern god is really an anti-god, whose followers have killed millions through warfare, persecution and ignorance. This invisible modern god cannot fulfill the ancient promises of the real “Living God”; since it is a god who opens not the eyes of the blind, that leaves the sick diseased and the lame crippled.

For the true seeker, know that in the real world, you can find a real forest that is home to the ancient living god of our fathers. The ancient Garden of paradise has always been here; in this earthly garden is the Fruit of the Tree of Wisdom and Life. Taste for yourself nature’s honey sweet medicine, heal your body and spirit, let your eyes be opened and become reborn as gods. This is the promise of the ancient Knowledge; this is your ancestral birthright.
