A Shamanic Bridge to a Better Future

When we understand human history and our evolutionary processes, it is clear that the core shamanic tradition worldwide is rooted in plants, just as plants are rooted in the earth. This is our connection to the Pachamama, the Mother Earth, which has been severed by religious dogmatism over the last few thousand years in the West and East. Ancient India was shamanic. Vedic texts praise Soma. The ancient Bon tradition of Tibet was shamanic. Soma, the fly agaric mushroom, ephedra, iboga of Africa, the Syrian rue, cannabis of the Middle East and other plants of the Old World were all used as shamanic tools to reach altered states of consciousness.

Peyote, Huachuma (San Pedro), Ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, Morning Glory seeds and other plant teachers of North and South America were and still are used for healing today in the New World. These are facts of history. Not assumptions or theories.

The term shaman comes from Siberia and means healer. Siberian shamanism was nearly destroyed by the Soviet anti-religious repression in the 1930s. But political oppression is not the only reason for the eradication of shamanic cultures. Climatic changes, which can transform a botanical landscape, can also contribute to the loss of ancient knowledge.
