Amanita Muscaria The Magic Christmas Mushroom

The psychedelic secrets of Santa Claus
By Dana Larsen - Thursday, December 18 2003

Modern Christmas traditions are based on ancient mushroom-using shamans.

Although most people see Christmas as a Christian holiday, most of the symbols and icons we associate with Christmas celebrations are actually derived from the shamanistic traditions of the tribal peoples of pre-Christian Northern Europe.

The sacred mushroom of these people was the red and white amanita muscaria mushroom, also known as "fly agaric." These mushrooms are now commonly seen in books of fairy tales, and are usually associated with magic and fairies. This is because they contain potent hallucinogenic compounds, and were used by ancient peoples for insight and transcendental experiences.

Most of the major elements of the modern Christmas celebration, such as Santa Claus, Christmas trees, magical reindeer and the giving of gifts, are originally based upon the traditions surrounding the harvest and consumption of these most sacred mushrooms.

fate of earth - fate of birth

Truly natural birth is a deeply empowering experience - as comments one of the mothers: "if I can do that I can do anything". 

Birth has been turned into a medical procedure whereby 'professionals' are paid to 'deliver' a baby and the woman is expected to submit to the authorities rather than the forces of nature.

Nowadays natural birth is taken to mean anything less than a Caesarean section.  I was shocked recently to find out the current rate for this - about 25% and climbing in the UK.  The passage of birth through the birth canal is a rite of passage and biochemicals are released at this time which shape a child's relationship with the world.  If a mother has no drugs or interference during childbirth the release of endorphins and other natural biochemicals give her the most amazing high after the birth and i sometimes wonder whether that affects the rest of your life.  I was born at home and had three of my children at home and my closest friends did the same -  it still surprises me when I remember this is not seen as normal and even as an act of bravery.



"FATE OF EARTH - FATE OF BIRTH" explores our culture's dependence on technology, not only do we trust machines more than nature and our capabilities, but we also use machines to shield us from natural passages of life such as birth and death. A family centered birth experience at home seems to benefit the newborn and reinforces the natural mother- child bond. Since our cultural rituals reflect and shape our cultural values, changing our childbirth rituals to celebrate nature could enhance our valuing of the Earth.

Mom, why did you circumcise me?

Excellent documentary on this subject which is underrated in its significance.

To take a little boy before even the time he can even remember, take him from his mother and brutalise one of the most sensitive parts of his body  that will later be used in intimate connections - well that says it all... and none of the reasons given for this as a routine procedure bear scrutiny - it's a trauma ritual.

"you've encoded the brain with violence to a part of the body that's supposed to feel pleasure...and when it's done in the primal period that affects the child throughout life...it interrupts maternal infant bonding and it undermines the first developmental task of a human which is to establish trust...it's a human rights issue"

"this is the shamanic dance in the waterfall...this is how magic is done..by hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering that it's a feather bed...there's no other way to do it..."

winter solstice lunar eclipse

There is a full moon on the night of 20th - 21st December, exactly full 8.15am GMT 21st December winter solstice day.  Full moon on winter solstice is the highest and brightest it can be in the northern hemisphere.  At 8.18am there is a total lunar eclipse.  This around the time of sunrise in southern Britain.  Because it is full moon this is also the time of moonset.  The time of winter solstice 23.40 GMT.

Here is John Wadsworth with 'Gateway to 2012 The Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse'.


"...lunar eclipse brings up that which we don't normally like to look at...that we don't articulate easily, that we don't accept easily as belonging to us... that we want to make other people responsible for...we are challenged to claim that back...these two years coming up to 2012 we are... going to see the greatest acceleration of darkness...being used against us but at the same time..a raising of consciousness..."

"If you own a mobile phone, you must see this.  For years, the experts have been arguing over them.  Some say they're perfectly safe, others claim they fry your brains.  Well, an international team of doctors, including two of Australia's finest surgeons, have just released their latest, comprehensive research.  And, as the father of young children, it really made Liam Bartlett sit up and take notice. They say prolonged use of mobile phones could double the risk of malignant brain tumours.  The deadliest of all cancers, the kind that leaves no survivors.  With an entire generation now growing up hooked on their mobiles, that could be absolutely devastating."

Personally, even holding a mobile at arm's length, I can feel the blast into my head, I keep mine for occasional texting, I can't imagine we going to rely on these particular technologies long term!
