Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time and a purpose for everything under the heavens."
Don't eat the fruit.
I believe that deadly scopolamine producing plants are the fruit from the book of Genesis and that these mushrooms are the Manna that Jesus ate with his people in the wilderness.. Because the bible says that Jesus and his followers went out into the wilderness and ate a "small round thing" off of the ground after the dew had settled, called "manna".. "John 6:31-35. 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat. ' ” 32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven." and then again in: "Numbers 11:7-9 8 The people went around gathering it, and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. 9 When the dew settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down." PAY ATTENTION TO THE USE OF THE WORD "MORTAR". Do you know what a mortar is? A mortar and pestle are tools used by Witches, look: What's a Mortar?(Click here to find out) Another series of verses states that: "Exodus 16:14-15 King James Version (KJV) And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was." DESPITE THE FACT THAT I BELIEVE THIS I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST USING THESE RECREATIONALLY OR IN LARGE ENOUGH DOSES TO INDUCE A HIGH. I CAN'T TELL ANYONE TO DO THAT! This is my own controversial belief that makes people angry but oh well. I'm under no obligation to subscribe to "group think". These ideas of mine are backed by solid evidence though, and I share that evidence all throughout this website, so stick around. Having said that I want to encourage you to NOT eat them. I could never encourage anyone to consume them, but I am particular to not talk trash about them too, because Ecclesiastes 3:1 ( blasphemy )
Respect Gods plan. Anyway, a lot of things have changed in these end times. Only until recently did scientist discover the active phytochemical components of shamanic plants. It was Psilocybin that was discovered(as a chemical and not a mushroom) in 1958, when Albert Hofmann first identified psilocybin and psilocin as the active compounds in these mushrooms.[2][3] Think about that for a minute.. For 99% of human history sense Eve first took bite of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, we finally know that "magic" plants are "magic" because of psychedelic and poisonous chemicals that interact with our biology, and apparently our spirits/souls too... This truly illustrates what times we live in. Never before in history have these things been known to man in such scientific detail, keyword there is known...
Nicknames: Magic Mushrooms; Shrooms; Moisture Missles; Caps; The Aztecs referred to these mushrooms as "the flesh of the gods."[20]
Classification: Psychedelic; OG; Psilocybin is a form of DMT ( 4-PO-DMT )[5] Sacred; Connected With Divination(fact) & Prophecy(my belief) [ Revelation 10; ] "Entheogen"(deception)
Poisonous/Toxic?: NO!, They're physically SAFE! "The lethal dose of magic mushrooms in rats is 280 mg/kg, and for humans is 17 kg/70 kg, which is very low, and magic mushrooms are therefore not normally considered toxic.[4]
Fungi Family: Most are in the Psilocybe Genus; Over 200 species are known to contain Psilocybin;[32] Check out Psilocybin mushroom spores under a microscope!. It's not my video but is rad. =)
Properties/Medicinal Benefits: Neuroplasticity;[1] Anti-oxidant; Anti-inflammatory[4] Psilocybin produced rapid anxiolytic and anti-depressant effects in one study[11] The Anti-depressant effects even a non-scientist can confirm for you ( considering the drug often induces histerical lengthy bouts of exccessive and uncontrolable laughter and out of this world happiness ) Psilocybin can be described using the following words "It's as funny as it is serious". Despite its use among the occult, and hippies, it does have scientifically verified medical value[33][34][35][ see also MAPS.org The MultiDisciplinary Association For Psychedelic Studies]. Dosage is everything, and even the most potent psychedelics known to man, such as Psilocybin, can be diluted into controlled dosages that render powerful medicinal value, also known as Micro-dosing.[36] Studies show that these psychedelics increase alpha brain wave states in the mind. "subjects showed strong and statistically significant increases of both EEG alpha (8-13Hz) and theta (4-8Hz) mean amplitudes compared to baseline while beta (13-20Hz) amplitudes were unchanged"[24] In alpha state, you're able to relax absorb new information more easily, and you're significantly more creative, or as Jefferson University puts it: "alpha waves may also help boost creativity and thereby act as a natural anti-depressant by promoting the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin".[47]
Psilocybin For PTSD: Here is a direct quote from the Medical Research Center At New York University: "There is some evidence in animal studies to show that psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in "magic mushrooms" may act by stimulating nerve cell regrowth in parts of the brain responsible for emotion and memory. A 2013 study from the University of South Florida, found that psilocybin stimulates neurogenesis, the growth and repair of brain cells in the hippocampus, which is the brain's center for emotion and memory. In the study, mice that were given psilocybin overcame fear conditioning far better than mice that were given a placebo. The study supported the hypothesis that psilocybin can help break the traumatic cycle that occurs in patients with PTSD."[56] Here is another direct quote from the National Library Of Medicine "Several PAP trials show preliminary efficacy in facilitating confronting traumatic memories, decreasing emotional avoidance, depression, anxiety, pessimism, and disconnection from others, and increasing acceptance, self-compassion, and forgiveness of abusers, all of which are relevant to PTSD recovery. There is also early evidence that other classic psychedelics may produce large reductions in PTSD symptoms in combat veterans. "[57]
Neuroplasticity Effects: Medical research indicates that the mechanisms behind Psilocybin's neuroplasticity may not depend on the 5-HT2A receptor. Here's a direct quote from the National Library Of Medicine: "Preclinical studies have shown that psilocybin-induced neuroplasticity may not depend on 5-HT2AR (Hesselgrave et al., 2021), suggesting a potential mechanism by which psychedelics could be therapeutic without the psychedelic experience, assuming that psychedelic experiences are 5-HT2AR-mediated."[58] Some more good news is that: "We observed that a single dose of psilocybin had rapid and sustained antidepressant-like effects in both healthy mice and chronic CORT-exposed mice. Moreover, psilocybin ameliorated chronic CORT exposure-induced inhibition of neuroplasticity in the PFC and hippocampus, including by increasing neuroplasticity (total number of dendritic branches and dendritic spine density), synaptic protein (p-GluA1, PSD95 and synapsin-1) levels, BDNF-mTOR signalling pathway activation (BDNF, TrkB and mTOR levels), and promoting neurogenesis (number of DCX-positive cells)."[59] Having quoted all of that, let me define what neurogenesis and neuroplasticity are, because these are remarkable properties produced by something that's illegal. It should make you wonder the intent behind Psilocybin's prohibition in the first place. Neurogenesis is: "Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are formed in the brain. Neurogenesis is crucial when an embryo is developing."[60][61] According to the National Library Of Medicine, Neuroplasticity is: "Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is a process that involves adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain. It is defined as the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections after injuries, such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI)."[62]
Antidepressant Effects: Let's discuss what the science has to say about the antidepressant effects of Psilocybin. To reiterate, I'm really only a proponent for micro-dosing, not full blown "hippy doses", as I fear those could lead someone down the path of the occult. At any rate, I want to quote from the National Library Of Medicine again: "Goodwin et al.1 report a single 25 mg dose of psilocybin has an antidepressant effect short-term in medication-resistant depression."[63] That quote is in reference specifically to "medication-resistant depression". Another scholarly source confirms for us that: "There is now exciting evidence that the psychedelic compound psilocybin produces not only powerful alterations of consciousness, but also rapid and persistent antidepressant effects"[64] More miraculous findings on Psilocybin's antidepressant properties tells us that: "The antianhedonic response to psilocybin was accompanied by a strengthening of excitatory synapses in the hippocampus, a characteristic of traditional and fast-acting antidepressants."[64] Let's define anti-anhedonic by first defining what "anhedonic" means. Anhedonic means: "Anhedonia is defined as the reduction of pleasure in current activities or events (consummatory anhedonia) or future activities or events (anticipatory anhedonia) (Kirkpatrick et al., 2006)."[65] That means that anti-anhedonia is any drug that combats anhedonia, which basically describes an anti-depressant.
Mixes well with(according to indiginous cultures and ethnopharmacologist): Ginger root, frankincense, and an MAOI like Passion flower or Banisteriopsis caapi. Ginger aids in digestion[7], and reduces nausea[8], and frankincense reduces nausea as well[9], and boost the immune system. Frankincense is good for your cells, including white blood cells, and is anti-cancer.[10] A tea made from this drug when drank, comes on much faster than when eaten, and often times much harder. If you want it to come on slower, you must drink it slower. WARNING ABOUT MAOI's LIKE BANISTERIOPSIS CAAPI: They're not safe to combine with certain foods and medications, and are only practical for special occasions when fasting has been practiced to avoid interactions.[37] FYI: Using Passion flower is far more safer as supposedly it only has trace amounts of the harmala constituents. I've noticed results with it back in my hippy days though and am certain it is effective as an MAOI, and much safer than b. caapi.
Occult Warning! Your enemey satan roams around like a lion seeking those with which to devour, be careful. God doesn't like idolic drunkards.
Antidote: Echinacea purpurea/angustifolia, and Jesus;
Phytochemicals produced by Psilocybin Mushrooms: Psilocybin; Psilocin; Minor tryptamines include: baeocystin (BA), norbaeocystin (NB), and aeruginascin[19] One source states that: "10 mg of baeocystin were found to be about as psychoactive as a similar amount of psilocybin."[38] Is "baeocystin" scheduled? or legal? It turns out that the chemistry of these sacred plants is far more complex than people typically think on the surface. Each chemical component has a wide range of pharmacologically active potential. There's basically a little pharmacy inside each herb and mushroom.
All of these are documented on academic databases like PubChem and Google Scholar. I link to them at the bottom of every page. [ Note this is not all of them that exist within the plant, and I never claim to cover every one of them. I try to get as many as possible listed though. ]Phytochemicals are not to be confused with research chemicals, as phytochemicals are produced by plants.[28][29][30][31]
What is Phytochemistry?: The best way to describe what phytochemistry is that it is the study of medicines and drugs produced by plants.[28][29][30][31] Albert Hoffman was the guy who "discovered"(wink wink) LSD, which it turns out is just a generic knock-off version of a series of naturally occuring phytochemicals present in various species of plants.[39] Phytochemistry is the study of the medicinal, psychoactive, poisonous, and psychedelic chemical constituents that plants produce, typically and especially ones used by indiginous cultures for medicine, or even ceremony.[28][29][30][31] The reason we know about psilocybin, DMT, LSA, CBD, THC, Caffeine, Nicotine, etc, is because of this field of study.[28][29][30][31] Interestingly, only until recent times have human beings known about these things. This means that 99% of human history was in the dark about the existence of "Caffeine" and the other more commonly known phytochemicals. In primitive cultures, people thought the plants were "magic".[28]
Quick note: It's one of the few illegal psychedelics, and just so happens to be one of the best ones, and OG's. Figures. This fact is just another illustration of how backwards our drug policies are not only as a nation, but as a planet. Just say NO to the W.H.O.
Warnings: Don't eat the fruit. There is a hidden(occult/secret) connection that psychedelics have to the paranormal and occult practices, including those by high level freemasons, an ancient occult secret society.[40] Shamanism is being used to soften the blow of the occult. Shamanism is not what it is often stereotyped to be. It is SORCERY(witchcraft.), a.k.a.: The administration of drugs, medicines, and poisons, in connection with idolatry(false gods, fallen angels, spirits), and the magical arts(occult).[Deuteronomy 18] Poisonous and psychedelic plants have a predictable connection with occultism.[41][42][43] Shamans, sorcerers, witches, all utilized poisonous and psychedelic plants in their practices[41][42][43], practices which are forbidden and listed in Deuteronomy 18. This is the side of these substances that people are unaware of. Just providing some good intel here folks. I am not against the use of them as medicine however, and cite some good scientific facts that back up this possibility. I wish that serpent medical didn't feel the need to control all medicine, it's really annoying.
Occult warning: Jeremiah 11:-9-11 9 And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers(first and second commandments, exodus 20), which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
Natural habitat: USA, Mexico; (Oaxaca Mexico) [ A Famous Shaman named Maria Sabina used them from this region.[44][45][46] She introduced a scholar to them, and they brought that knowledge back to the U.S. where it was eventually popularized.[44][45][46] ] Scientist are just now finding out about drugs that indiginous cultures utilized for centuries. According to one authoritative source, they were originally used in traditional ways in Mexico and New Guinea.[52] Some evidence suggest that primitive cultures of the Sahara used them in religious ceremonies before Christ as well.[22] #Phytochemistry #Ethnobotany #Ethnopharmacology
Quick disclaimer: I do not make profit from discussing these mushrooms. The mushroom spores are legal however, if not used illegally, and can be easily purchased online ( micro-supply.com ). There's also places that sell mushroom grow kits to grow edible mushrooms like EarthsTongue.com They can be used to illegally grow psilocybin as well. I am not encouraging this but merely informing. The SRCSO thought they could be intimidating so here I am pissing them off even more. Still feel proud sissy pants? Information is not illegal, and certain people have the religious rights to use this stuff in the U.S. Discrimination is illegal. They used to try to intimidate me and others into silence before they were dominated by all the Christians and Jews in the 850. Now they are back in hiding huh girls? I am not encouraging use or any illegal activity. I intend to inform, and reduce harm, and biblify the ethnobotanical community. Thanks. Oh also an online entity called "schedule35.co" is illegally selling "psilocybin" mushrooms to all 50 states. I believe that it is synthetic, and not genuine mushrooms, rather probably contains some type of research chemical DMT(fake synthetic DMT made in labs). This is the beginning of the big pharma entheogen/pharmakeia agenda. Expect more legal psychedelics made by drug companies. There's a ton of freemasons, neo nazi's, and other supremacist cults, selling illegal drugs openly and no one is doing anything, and we know this because they're the ones heavily into these things, plus they have their symbolism all over the stuff. Welcome to supremacy. Police, and DEA, even FBI are infiltrated by cheaters, and people running protection for their gangs.

Harm Reduction Note: Psychedelics bring one into the spirit realm, aka the "divine realm", or whatever words you chose to label it, but know that it is real. They open one up to the hidden(secret). The potential harms associated with Psilocybin mushrooms are not physical, but spiritual. Psalm 91:1 (NASB By Zondervan) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 91:3 For it is HE who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence.
Spiritual Notes: Shamans embrace an animistic(animalistic, belief that everything has a spirit) worldview, embracing the idea that spirits are a fundamental aspect of reality[23], and so does the bible. My years of studying ethnobotany and shamanic cultures, have led to a thorough understanding of these phenomena in the bible. I do believe "fruit" is plural(in Hebrew plural and singular words are not represented with different spellings, but are spelled the same) and that it is in reference to poisonous deliriants I believe like scopolamine producing plants, possibly psychedelic plants, and fungi used by shamans, and other sorcerer cultures. Again, they used them for everything mentioned in Deuteronomy 18. They do have medicinal applications as well though. Indiginous cultures used these psychedelics for divination(to obtain information supernaturally, about the future, or even necromancy)[51] It's also noted that certain substances "opens one up to a heightened state of suggestibility", as krystle cole put it in one of her old videos. Here's an academic citation on that last claim:[26][27]
Even though I consider myself Christian, a lot of what I have to say will get me grilled by other Christians. Oh well. I was going to say that in my experiences growing up ( in my early 20's, doing mushrooms ), I observed a clear connection between seeing real rainbows(not hallucinated), at breakthrough points of multiple experiences. Others who were there(and sober) are eye witnesses as well. In fact, nearly every time that I did them, this would happen at some point. I later on made the connection between rainbows and them being a sign from God, a form of communication from God. Genesis 9:16 "And I shall place the rainbow in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all." Interestingly, mushrooms naturally form under the same environmental conditions as rainbows. It's safe to say, if you spot a rainbow, there are mushrooms near. Beware of false signs and wonders but know that real ones exist. One must discern between "seeking omens", and hearing the voice of God. This observation that I share, is not omen seeking, but rather authentic communication from the Most High I believe. I feel Psilocybin is unique. I still must warn against the potential dangers(spiritual) of consumption and advise against it, especially in the times that we're in. Beware of the snares of satan. Psalm 91:1
A famous carving or painting that was inspired by psychedelics, in my belief is closely related to Psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelics(especially plants and cacti). I believe that poisonous deliriants like Belladonna and other scopolamine producing plants are of the many tree(s) of knowledge( from Genesis 3 in the bible). Poisonous and psychedelic plants have a vast history of use by traditional cultures for their applications in sorcery(divination, necromancy, worship of false gods, and other ceremonial traditions)[48][49][50][51] For those of you who don't know(and this is very important), divination is supernaturally obtained information, and was and is often done by utilizing psychedelics by indiginous cultures(sorcerers, shamans, etc).[48][49][50][51] Famous ethnobotanist/ethnopharmacologist Dennis Mckenna made a covert serpent comment on the subject on the Joe Rogan podcast where he said "Nevermind where the information came from... as long as it's good information, then what difference does it make?" I found it interesting because they were discussing how shamans obtain information from this realm in which psychedelics take them to... People are not seeing what is right in front of them for what it is. According to Wikipedia: "The Flammarion engraving is a wood engraving by an unknown artist, so named because its first documented appearance is in Camille Flammarion's 1888 book L'atmosphère : météorologie populaire ("The Atmosphere: Popular Meteorology"). The wood engraving has often, but erroneously, been referred to as a woodcut. It has been used as a metaphorical illustration of either the scientific or the mystical quests for knowledge."

Ezekiel 3:8 "Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads."
Percieved "positive" Effects described: Visuals can be described as "like the flash of a neon light"; Deep introspection; Feeling of intense spiritual connectedness; deeply reflective; ( a deeply psychological experience ); joy and happiness; contemplation of the meaning of reality; uncontrolable/unexplainable bouts of histerical laughter(often times lengthy), a sense of the vastness of mental potential; realizations of otherworldly communication coming in(words spoken without being spoken) [ see "sounds of silence", by simon and garfunkel. Synesthesia(tasting colors, seeing sounds, smelling sights, etc) People report their experiences on psychedelics to be among the most important of their lives, even after they stop doing them. The effects don't stop once you quit taking the drug, as these psychedelics, tend to lead people down a path(or help the serpent) towards the occult. Even the Mckenna brothers were into mysticism and stuff(just dig around online, you can find lectures by Terrence on alchemy and mysticism). I'm surprised how many people listen to the guy and Joe Rogan but don't make the connection to the occult that they have..(they don't put two and two together) Just look at the modern medical symbols for example, and see how people are being led to the serpent, and are serving it..
Negative effects: Interest in the occult. They don't call them "magic mushrooms" for nothing. They're tied to sorcery. Deuteronomy 18 mentions all the things that shamans and warlocks did using psychedelics like this. Be forewarned, these things are real and very dangerous. God doesn't like drunkenness either.
Bible References: I'm not trying to pull a fast one on the church or brainwash so please refrain from the hate. If you disagree fine, but this is my opinion(and imo I believe to be facts). I believe that "bread", "book", "fruit", "scroll", and "manna", in the bible, are all in reference to the same thing. I believe that psychedelic and poisonous plants are the "fruit" of the tree(s) of knowledge from Genesis 3(and I present the evidence of this throughout this website and cite academic sources, and the bible), and that it is mentioned throughout the bible in "code" a.k.a. parabolic form(in parables/metaphors/symbolic cryptic messages). Jesus himself said he taught in parables, and bible symbolism is a real thing. We must discern between true signs and communion with God, and omens and divination. See: Amos 7:12 mentionings the words, "eat bread, and prophecy"; Bread: Amos 7:12; Book: Revelation 10; Fruit: Genesis 3; Scroll: Revelation 10; Manna: Ezekiel 4; Numbers 11; Exodus 16; Don't eat the fruit. 2 Peter 1:21 "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" I believe the fruit is connected to both divination and prophecy. We know it is connected to divination from ethnobotanical research, but the prophecy end is a bit more controversial. It's a personal belief, no need to recruit others in this view. lol It's my observation from growing up that the use of these things leads to divination and an understanding of omens and symbolism in general, whether the user sets out on that quest or not.

Despite the fact that mushrooms are fungi born, there are some plants that produce DMT as well. There are NO plants, that produce psilocybin specifically that I am aware of, however there is a Lichen that does.. That Lichen is known by the scientific name of: Dictyonema huaorani, and it too produces psilocybin, along with DMT.

OG Observation: The trichromes on Cannabis look like little mushrooms! We can see the mushroom shape recurring throughout nature. Biology is awesome! I also want to point out that modern chemistry was birthed from alchemy, and is unfortunately tied to the occult.[16][17][18] I know you don't want to hear it, and I don't either. I hate that modern chemistry is tied to the occult, because I even have an interest in it and want to like it. It is very seductive. I would have studied it in school but math isn't my thing(I'm no good at it, and it is required for chemistry courses to have decent math skills) I believe the best way to look at chemistry biblically, is to think of it like, there's a line... If you cross the line, it is unGodly. I can't say exactly where the line begins or ends because I myself am unsure of that. but I know it exist. Don't swim too close to the shark. In fact, it's best that you just stay out of the same body of water as the shark all together. Chemist like Albert Hoffman tend to be idolized, and the drugs they make idolized as well. LSD was an idol, MDMA is an idol, they are the "neon god they made" from Simon and Garfunkel's "sounds of silence" song. It was all birthed out of ancient Egyptian occult alchemy, which is tied in to modern freemasonry, and the modern pharmaceutical agenda.[13][14][15]
Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee, any graven image.(An idol, or anything that represents one symbolically.)
