"So,
why do people bring Pine trees into their houses at the Winter
Solstice, placing brightly colored (Red and White) packages under their boughs, as gifts to show their love for each other and
as representations of the love of God and the gift of his Sons life? It
is because, underneath the Pine bough is the exact location where one
would find this ‘Most Sacred’ Substance, the Amanita muscaria, in the wild.” –James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (8)
"DMT exists in all of our bodies and occurs throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. It is a part of the normal makeup of humans and other mammals; marine animals; grasses and peas; toads and frogs; mushrooms and molds; and barks, flowers, and roots ... DMT is . . . in this flower here, in that tree over there, and in yonder animal. [It] is, most simply, almost everywhere you choose to look." Indeed, it is getting to the point where one should report where DMT is not found, rather than where it is." -Dr. Rick Strassman, “DMT – The Spirit Molecule” (42)
“The
Pine tree is one of the well-known central relics of Christmas. Under
this tree is where those who are deemed good find their reward in the
form of a present. A big red and white rounded mushroom grows under the very tree we are to look under on Christmas morning to find our gift.” –James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (6)
Green, red, and white as
Christmas colors comes from the evergreen tree and the red and white
mushrooms underneath. The word Christmas originally comes from the
Egyptian KRST (oiled/anointed one) and Mes, the sacred cakes annually
made/ingested by the Egyptians. This Eucharist was originally made from
Amanita muscaria or was the mushroom itself. The tradition existed all
over the ancient world, but most of the iconography / symbology
recognized today comes from pre-Christian Northern Europe.
“The
very name, ‘Christmas’ is a holiday name composed of the words,
‘Christ’ (meaning ‘one who is anointed with the Magical Substance’) and
‘Mass’ (a special religious service/ceremony of the sacramental
ingestion of the Eucharist, the ‘Body of Christ’). In the Catholic
tradition, this substance (Body/Soma) has been replaced by the doctrine
of ‘Trans-substantiation’, whereby in a magical ceremony the Priests
claim the ability to transform a ‘cracker/round-wafer’ into the literal ‘Body of Christ’; ie, a substitute or placebo.” -James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (9-10)
“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 … These peoples lived in dwellings made of birch and reindeer hide, called ‘yurts.’ Somewhat similar to a teepee, the yurt's central smoke hole is often also used as an entrance. After gathering the mushrooms from under the sacred trees where they appeared, the shamans would fill their sacks and return home.
Climbing down the chimney-entrances, they would share out the
mushroom's gifts with those within … Santa also dresses like a mushroom
gatherer. When it was time to go out and harvest the magical mushrooms, the ancient shamans would dress much like Santa, wearing red and white fur-trimmed coats and long black boots.” -Dana Larsen, “The Psychedelic Secrets of Santa Claus” Cannabis Culture, Marijuana Magazine, Dec 18th, 2003
To
this day Siberian shamans dress in ceremonial red and white fur-trimmed
jackets to gather the magic mushrooms. First they pick and place the
mushrooms to partially dry on nearby pine boughs which prepares them for
ingestion and makes the load lighter. This is why we decorate our
Christmas trees with ornaments and bulbs, because the gatherers would
always adorn trees with drying mushrooms. Next the shaman collects his
red and white presents in a sack and proceeds to travel from house to
house delivering them. During Siberian winters, the snow piles up past
the doors of their yurts (huts), so the red and white clad shaman must
climb down the smoke-hole (chimney) to deliver the presents in his sack.
Finally the appreciative villagers string the mushrooms up or put them
in stockings hung affront the fire to dry. When they awake in the
morning, their presents from under the pine tree are all dried and ready
to eat.
“The
amanita mushroom needs to be dried before being consumed; the drying
process reduces the mushroom's toxicity while increasing its potency.
The shaman would guide the group in stringing the mushrooms and hanging
them around the hearth-fire to dry. This tradition is echoed in the modern stringing of popcorn and other items.” -Dana Larsen, “The Psychedelic Secrets of Santa Claus” Cannabis Culture, Marijuana Magazine, Dec 18th, 2003
“The ancient shamanic use of Amanita muscaria in Siberia
is well documented. Despite governmental oppression against its use,
there are still many who refuse to accept the authorized state religion,
and continue the shamanic
traditions in secret. Just as the Siberian shaman (commonly dressing in
red and white) would enter through the opening in the roof of a home
where a ritual was to be done, Santa Claus also arrives on the roof and enters through
the chimney. Just as the shamans would gather the mushrooms in bags
which they would bring with them when performing a ceremony, Santa Claus
also (on the Holy Day) brings presents in a bag.” -James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (10)
Siberian reindeer also enjoy eating
amanita mushrooms and thus are often used as a lure by the deer-herding
natives. Since one of the hallucinatory experiences often felt on
psychedelic mushrooms is that of flying, Santa’s flying reindeer most
likely derive from this.
“Reindeer
were the sacred animals of these semi-nomadic people, as the reindeer
provided food, shelter, clothing and other necessities. Reindeer are
also fond of eating the amanita mushrooms; they will seek them out, and
then prance about while under their influence … The effects of the
amanita mushroom usually include sensations of size distortion and
flying. The feeling of flying could account for the legends of flying
reindeer, and legends of shamanic journeys included stories of winged
reindeer, transporting their riders up to the highest branches of the
World Tree.” -Dana Larsen, “The Psychedelic Secrets of Santa Claus” Cannabis Culture, Marijuana Magazine, Dec 18th, 2003
The flying reindeer, sleigh, and the entire Santa Claus mythology originates from Siberia where Saint Nicholas, the patron Saint of children, is a supplanter to the indigenous Shamans.
“Saint Nicholas, known as the ‘Patron Saint of Children,’ is the most revered saint in Russia,
second only to the apostles. He is the Russian Orthodox Church's
supplanter to the native people's highly respected local Shaman. A
Shaman is a holy man that is well acquainted with a form of spirituality
that incorporates plant entheogens which facilitate the NDE (Near Death
Experience), or ‘out of body’ experience. Saint Nicholas may not have been a shaman, yet the symbolism on, and coloring of his robes could lend to speculation.” –James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (10)
“One of the side effects of eating amanita mushrooms is that the skin and facial features take
on a flushed, ruddy glow. This is why Santa is always shown with
glowing red cheeks and nose. Even Santa's jolly ‘Ho, ho, ho!’ is the
euphoric laugh of one who has indulged in the magic fungus.” -Dana Larsen, “The Psychedelic Secrets of Santa Claus” Cannabis Culture, Marijuana Magazine, Dec 18th, 2003
Could this by why Rudolph’s nose is red?
"Santa's famous magical journey, where
his sleigh takes him around the whole planet in a single night, is
developed from the ‘heavenly chariot’ used by the gods from whom Santa
and other shamanic figures are descended. The chariot of Odin, Thor and
even the Egyptian god Osiris is
now known as the Big Dipper, which circles around the North Star in a
24-hour period. In different versions of the ancient story, the chariot
was pulled by reindeer or horses. As the animals grow exhausted, their
mingled spit and blood falls to the ground, forming the amanita
mushrooms.” -Dana Larsen, “The Psychedelic Secrets of Santa Claus” Cannabis Culture, Marijuana Magazine, Dec 18th, 2003
“It
is fairly common knowledge that the Weihnachtsmann (St. Nick) was an
amalgamation of older Germanic/Norse gods such as Thor, Donner, Odin and
Wotan. What's missing here is just as Santa flies through the skies in
his sleigh, Odin (as well as the rest) rode through the sky in his
chariot, which is depicted in the stars by ‘The Big Dipper’. The Big
Dipper is the chariot of Odin & Wotan, Thor, King Arthur, and even
Osiris (of Egypt). The
chariot that circles the North Star in a 24 hour period is thus also
known as the sleigh of Santa Claus because it circles his mythological
home, the North Pole. It is no surprise that Nordic/Germanic gods have
connection to mushrooms in their mythology. As Thor throws his
mushroom-shaped hammer to the ground, mighty thunders and lightning
cracks cause the real mushroom(s) to appear. As the horses pulling Odin
through the sky in his chariot become over-exerted, their blood-mingled
spit falls to the ground and causes the Amanita mushrooms to grow at
those exact points.” –James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (10-11)
Probably the first Santa was Osiris in ancient Egypt
who rode his flying chariot to/from the North Pole, was born on
December 25th, and celebrated by putting presents underneath an
evergreen tree.
“Not only did Osiris ride the sky in a chariot, but after his death Isis
found that an evergreen (Cedar) had grown overnight from a dead stump
to full-sized; which was understood as a sign of Osiris' rebirth and
immortality. Interestingly, the traditional birth of Osiris is the 25th
of December. The 25th of December was also celebrated annually by
putting presents around the Cedar tree. This tradition is at least five
thousand years old. The birth of Horus to the goddess-virgin-mother, Isis,
is perhaps the eldest representation of the goddess/son mythology, yet
it is impossible to know this or the real age of the
Astro-theological-Virgo-giving-birth-to-the-child/god/star mythology for
sure. However it is the oldest source I have found.” –James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (11)
Santa,
an anagram for Satan, dresses in red, keeps lists of naughty/nice
children, and seems to steal Christmas from Jesus. But if understood in
its original mushroom context, Santa’s not a conniving, omniscient,
list-keeper. He’s an Entheogen - a plant or substance which is said to
“generate the God within.” The word Entheogen breaks down, En for
inside, Theo for God, and Gen for generate – generate the God inside.
If you have ever taken an Entheogen (i.e. Psilocybin, DMT, Peyote,
Ayahuasca), then you are already aware of the spiritual or even
religious experiences associated with them. As anyone who has tried
them knows, and most anyone who hasn’t fiercely denies, these Entheogens
put us directly in contact with that spark of the divine within
ourselves. They allow access to higher consciousness and open our
third-eyes; The outer material world dissolves and the “five” senses
return to a state of one sense, one consciousness.
“First
hand understanding is through the ingestion of the holy substances, of
which there has been so much written, that this brief expose' merely
scratches the surface of. It is this direct communal contact which is
truly the means whereby a human being can experience his true spiritual
nature. One must take very seriously his /her own spirituality, for this
is that which we truly are. As I stated in the opening sentence, ‘This
experience is of extremely great value’. So much so, that I feel it
necessary to the evolutionary process of each and every individual, and
inevitably to all of mankind.” -James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (26)
If you have mischief, wickedness, or
secrecy in you, then entheogens will take you down into the depths of
your own hell. But if you have kindness, love, and truth within you,
entheogens will raise you up into the heights of that heaven. When
people of a poor disposition or in a negative mood eat magic mushrooms
they usually have a “bad trip” and experience frightening or depressing
hallucinations. When people of a good disposition or in a positive mood
eat mushrooms they usually have a great trip and experience hours of
uncontrollable laughter and a loving, close feeling with everyone
around. Just like at Christmas Santa keeps lists of children who are
naughty and nice, at Easter only good kids get to eat the colored eggs.
This is likely because good kids on mushrooms are hilarious and lots of
fun, whereas naughty kids on mushrooms guarantee a bad trip for
everyone, so they get coal at Christmas and no eggs at Easter.
“Santa
Claus is an all-knowing icon that reads the hearts and intentions of
everyone on the planet. Each child is told the story of the round-man
(who wears red and white) and his associates; reindeer, little people
and Mrs. Claus. They are also told the story of a miraculous worldwide
flight in a sleigh which results in presents being delivered under a
tree. Yet when a child reaches the age of reasoning he is informed that
this story is all a fabrication. This revelation is devastating upon the
psyche of a young mind. It is also at this time that the child is often
comforted and pacified from the shock by very strong reinforcement that
the religious systems which the parents or guardians profess are indeed
factual. And an attempt is made to incorporate the respective religious
traditions into the holiday as the REAL meaning for the celebration.” –James Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (6)
Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
have both been uprooted from their original positions. They began as
mythological mushroom heroes understood in a spiritual context by both
children and adults. Now their literal meaning has been suppressed, and
a fake image has been corporatized by Coke, Cadbury and others. The
effect this has had is to turn mythological heroes into fantasies and
lies. It was not meant for children to discover as they are coming of
age that parents, family, and friends have lied to them about Santa and
the Easter Bunny. It was meant for them to discover deeper meanings
behind the mythologies such as the ancient Astrotheological
understanding of the heavens, the knowledge of the zodiacal precession,
and seasonal cycles like solstices and equinoxes. The whole complexity
of the modern Christmas mythos is an unexplainable mess without the
magic mushroom, the story is completely unintelligible.
“Some
psychologists have discussed the ‘cognitive dissonance’ which occurs
when children are encouraged to believe in the literal existence of
Santa Claus, only to have their parents' lie revealed when they are
older. By so deceiving our children we rob them of a richer heritage …
Many people in the modern world have rejected Christmas as being too
commercial, claiming that this ritual of giving is actually a
celebration of materialism and greed. Yet the true spirit of this winter
festival lies not in the exchange of plastic toys, but in celebrating a
gift from the earth: the fruiting top of a magical mushroom, and the
revelatory experiences it can provide. Instead of perpetuating outdated
and confusing holiday myths, it might be more fulfilling to return to
the original source of these seasonal celebrations. How about getting
back to basics and enjoying some magical mushrooms with your loved ones
this solstice? What better gift can a family share than a little piece
of love and enlightenment?” -Dana Larsen, “The Psychedelic Secrets of Santa Claus” Cannabis Culture, Marijuana Magazine, Dec 18th, 2003
