Ergot and The Salem Witchcraft Trials
Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain mystic babes! It's the time of year for all things witchy, and that brings us to the topic of today's post: the Salem witchcraft trials. Be it through history class or just movies, almost everyone (at least in the US) has heard of the Salem witch trials. However, there are many different versions of the story. And a lot of what we are taught just isn't true. Here's the version that I was taught in school:
Happy Bicycle Day!
Bicycle Day is an informal holiday celebrated by the psychonaut and plant-based medicine communities. It takes place annually on April 19th to commemorate the first intentional LSD trip. Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann first discovered the psychedelic effects of LSD while working on ergot alkaloids at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland.
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 spent a full four days meditating, learning about different plant medicines, and immersing ourselves in nature. We also took some acid, because what better to do on a camping vacation than take a trip in the woods?
