Thousands of Venezuelans congregated for candlelit rituals on a remote mountainside where adherents make an annual pilgrimage to pay homage to an indigenous goddess known as Maria Lionza.



Some calling themselves the “Vikings” pricked their tongues with razor blades, drawing blood that ran down their chins and chests. They said they could not reveal the esoteric secrets that govern their traditions.

The word &quot;Ayahuasca&quot; refers to a medicinal and magical drink with the main ingredient being the ayahuasca vine (banisteriopsis caapi). The vine is cooked, usually in combination with a variety of other admixture plants, to eventually produce a brown liquid that is consumed in healing ceremonies led by Amazon healers, called ayahuasqueros, (curanderos). The effects of the brew vary greatly depending on which admixture plants are used in its  ...</description>

			<description>Anything spoken or written about our most important beliefs and healing ways must emphasize and re-emphasize the importance of love, the Sky God, and the rising of our hearts. As our heartfelt feelings rise through loving God, we shake and step into the ability to heal others, as well as prepare to receive sacred lessons and gifts from the gods and ancestors. If this kind of divine love isn’t addressed more than anything else when someone talks about our ways, then that person simply does not  ...</description>

Shamans and Archaeology

Monday April 6, 2009



What are the archaeological signatures of shamans? An interesting paper by Christine VanPool appearing in the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology in the nearish future gives us a framework for answering that question. 



[...]In brief, though, the way VanPool sees it, shamans and priests are two ends of a continuum of religious specialists.



What are Religious Specialists?

2,700-year-old marijuana stash found:



By THE CANADIAN PRESS



Last Updated: 27th November 2008, 3:09pm



OTTAWA – Researchers say they have located the world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.



The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly &quot;cultivated for psychoactive purposes,&quot; rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

12,000-Year-Old Shaman Unearthed in Israel

By ISHAAN THAROOR Ishaan Tharoor Tue Nov 11, 5:50 am ET



A new figure in humanity's history emerged last week when archaeologists announced the discovery of what could be one of the world's oldest known spiritual figures. After years of meticulous excavation just miles from Israel's Mediterranean coast, scientists from the Institute of Archaeology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem unearthed a 12,000-year-old grave that held  ...</description>

Stone Age man took drugs, say scientists



Scientists have discovered evidence suggesting Stone Age man used herbal mixtures to get high.

 

By Jonathan Wynne-Jones



It has long been suspected that humans have an ancient history of drug use, but there has been a lack of proof to support the theory.



Now, however, researchers have found equipment used to prepare hallucinogenic drugs for sniffing, and dated them back to prehistoric South American tribes.

			<description>The process of learning about Qechua shamanism is one of unlearning. We must first unlearn a lot of concepts which hinder our participation in the full dance of the Kawsay, or sacred energy. And the first one has to do with God, or gods. One great cultural misunderstanding is that the Inka people worshiped several gods; Inti, the sun God, Pachamama, the earth Goddess, Quilla, the moon, etc.



In Runasimi, the Qechua language, there is no word for God. It´s just a concept which didn´t happen  ...</description>
