Are there any religious or whole congregations that use mushrooms during service?
Not the ones the become "spiritual" and feel a connection to a "universe energy" but people that tie it into their individual sentience beings from another plane like angels or their God from a known organized and Abrahamic religion.
Stands to reason that this could strengthen the connection especially with the susceptibility enhanced from a guide or religious leader.
With some decriminalization this could be more publicly experimented with. Not quite retail legalization but probably tolerated enough in some counties that the religious law abiding citizens would feel comfortable doing it.
- wavefunction 6y agoWhy does it need to be Abrahamic? The Native American Church --which syncretizes traditional Native American beliefs with Christianity-- takes peyote buttons as part of their ritual practices.
- chews 6y agoPretty sure Christianity is inherently Abrahamic. Thank you for mentioning the Native American church, it’s awesome to see how faiths evolve.
