Peafowl have the incredible ability to consume and digest the most poisonous of plants and snakes and not be affected by their toxicity. In fact much of the folklore suggests that the venomous, noxious compounds only contribute to the brilliance of their feathers and majestic presence.

Assimilation.Protection.Boundaries are the three words I chose for the peacock card in my new oracle deck the Messenger’s Delivery. I’ve just shared the card with the entirety of its message in my stories.

Querubín Queta Alvarado (Taita Querubín) was born in the Colombian Amazon in 1929 in San Antonio del Guamuéz in the Putumayo department. (Taita is the name given to spiritual leaders and curacas of the Colombian Amazon).

He has served as the spiritual leader of his community for many years and created the Zio-A'I foundation of which he has been president between 2002 and 2004. He has extensive international experience. In 1997 he traveled to Verona, Italy, to share his knowledge about medicinal plants of the Amazon at the Hervora Congress.

That same year he traveled to Seattle to participate in a human rights conference. In 1999 he traveled to Bolivia to advise the Aymara Indigenous Communities on institutional strengthening, in Nairobi he was invited to participate in the meeting of the CBD (Convention on Biological Diversity). He also attended the United Nations meeting in Seville, Spain, on Article 8-J on biological diversity. He has participated in several consultation workshops, in Geneva, on health policies prepared by the world health organization in 1999 and was a special guest at a meeting of experts in traditional knowledge (UNCTAD) in 2000. He also participated in the conference International on the subject of Peace, Human Rights, and International Humanitarian Law for Colombia, in San José, Costa Rica. In 2001 he participated in the Seminar on the Rights of Intellectual Property and Biological and Genetic Resources in Latin America held in Cusco, Peru. He is, together with Taita Sebastián, the main contributor to the book that presents the Cofán Life Plan.

Taita Querubin is the main indigenous leader and curaca of the Cofán indigenous community of the Colombian Amazon. In 1996 all the Elder Cofanes or Taitas had a historic meeting around their sacred ceremonies and had the vision that their ancestral traditional knowledge should be known to the West. They created a foundation whose board of directors was made up of the elders and wise men of the communities. With a lot of work, they developed with each member of the community what they themselves called a Life Plan for the indigenous ethnic group of the Cofanes.

They have their territory demarcated and the life plan describes the project they have for themselves and for at least seven more generations. This is a plan based on the concepts of Peace, human rights, equality and harmony and on the preservation of nature, and spiritual and cultural values. Taita Querubín and Taita Sebastián bring an ancestral knowledge from the Amazon that very few people can imagine living.

The stress of COVID-19 may be contributing to a boom in psychedelic consumption because of the mental health crisis the pandemic has created.

https://realitysandwich.com/shaman-claus-the-shamanic-origins-of-christmas/The Evenki were also a shamanic culture. The word “shaman” actually has its roots in the Tungus word saman which means “one who knows or knows the spirits.” Many of the classic shamanic characteristics that would later be reflected in cultures all over the world were originally documented by Russian and European explorers while observing the Tungus and related people’s religious life. This includes the three-world system, the shamanic journey or soul flight, the use of altered states of consciousness, animistic belief in spirit, and so forth.

AMANITA MUSCARIA SANTA
A significant aspect of the shamanism practiced in this part of the world during that time was linked to Amanita muscaria, also known as the Fly Agaric mushroom. This mushroom is more widely accepted in the modern world as the Alice in Wonderland mushroom. It was held very sacred by these ancient people, and was used by the shaman and others for ceremonial and spiritual purposes. Amanitas – as you can tell by the pictures – range from brightly red and white to golden orange and yellow. They only grow beneath certain types of evergreen trees. They form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of the tree, the exchange of which allows them to grow. One of the reported ancient beliefs was that the mushroom was actually the fruit of the tree. Due to the lack of seed, it is also commonly held that Fly Agaric was divine – a kind of virginally birthed sacred plant.
Although intensely psychoactive, Amanitas are also toxic. One way to reduce the toxicity and increase the psychoactive potency was to simply dry them. When out collecting the mushrooms, people would pick a bunch of them under the evergreen trees and lay them out along the branches while continuing to pick the mushrooms beneath other trees. The result was something that looked very reminiscent of a modern Christmas tree: evergreen trees whose branches are dotted with bright red, roundish “decorations” – in this case the sacred mushrooms. At the end of the session, the shaman or harvester would go around to each of their mushroom stashes and put them all in one large sack… a large sack?!! Remind you of anything?! Not only this, as the story of the tradition goes, the shaman would then, carrying this large sack, visit the homes of his or her people and deliver the mushrooms to them. They would then continue the drying process by hanging them in a sock, near the fire!

What is the shamnism orgin of christmas? What is the origin of the Christmas tree? Putting the star on top and all the brightly wrapped presents beneath?

The Heart of a Warrior, The Magic of a Mystic, and a Soul full of multiverses and cosmic dimensions. Her Spirit is ablaze with a vibrant energy that sings to an eternal melody. Her aura soars like the hawk through the midnight skies. The mountains are in her blood. Beneath the moonlight, she is grounded to earth, but is also free to roam the great planes of far away galaxies. Sovereign yet connected to all, she holds a peacefulness about her. She also has a fierce strength developed over millenia to fight for what she knows to be right and true. As the moon turns to sun, the star shines bright of her essence within. It emanates outwards to show all beings of her greatness and nobleness. The way of the warrior. She is a divine feminine.
