Exploring Consciousness: Mushrooms For Mindfulness
There were about 40 of us in total. We all passed our cups to the front to be filled with what she estimated was a .5-1g dose. Then she had us sit with our cups for a few minutes before consuming our tea. We smelled it and examined its color. We studied our mugs and contemplated why we chose that particular one. Then we discussed how many people had to handle that mug and the materials that made it before it got to us. And then we drank our tea.
A Trip Among the Trees
Recently, those of us at Mystical Moxie went to a music/holistic wellness festival in honor of the solar eclipse. (You can read Heaven's post about that here.)

We also took some acid, because what better to do on a camping vacation than take a trip in the woods?
Blue Lotus Flower
The blue lotus flower, known scientifically as Nymphaea caerulea, has long been revered for its mystical allure and psychoactive properties. This aquatic plant holds a sacred place in ancient Egyptian culture, where it was associated with spirituality and relaxation, and even used in religious ceremonies. Its beautiful azure petals have inspired art, poetry, and rituals throughout time.
I Made Mushroom Tea and Read It Like Tea Leaves

Happy Magic Mushroom Day!
Magic Mushroom Day was created by Nicholas Reville in 2015. He wanted a day to pay tribute and educate people on the benefits of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The holiday was intended to be similar to 4/20 and Bicycle Day. Like it’s predecessors, the holiday has already become less about education and more about partying.
Flicking the Dream Bean
The African Dream Bean is said to cause vivid, lucid dreams in those that consume it. Many claim it has a long history of use by shamans.
