Quote from: TeotzlcoatlSeven Essential Shamanic Ethnobotanicals-

 
Psilocybian Mushrooms ~ “Teonanacatl”


I should point out to you that Teonanácatl was the Nahuatl Indian word which the Spanish wrote of that allegedly described and/or referred to several varieties of mushrooms used in ritual ceremonies and at festivals, including the coronation of Moctozuma.

Today in contemporary Mexico, none of the 7 known major tribal groups of Indians (including the Pueblo, Otomi or Tarascan Indians)  know of or use the word Teonanácatl.

And while there are more than 200 species of mushrooms which are psilocybian, only those in use in Pre-Colombian Mesoamerica were referred to as teonanácatl.  Not any of the species in use anywhere today can be called teonanácatl.

Additionally, because of the new DNA sequencing, professional DNA mycologists have now n renamed those Mexican species of Psilocybe, over 38 used ceremoniously as the genus Psychedelia, based on their DNA sequencing and the clade of the Psilocybe species.

The genus Psychedelia? Did you make that up?

Booooomer?

:)

what about the strains such as
Psilocybe Cubensis Mexi-Cub-Mexico
Psilocybe Cubensis Mazatapec (mexican)
Psilocybe Cubensis Huautla de Jimenez (mexican)
Psilocybe Zapotecorum Huautla De Jimenez, (mexican),
Psilocybe Caerulescens Huautla de Jimenez, (mexican)

could any of these strains be the flesh of the gods?
the mushrooms used by maria sabina, where they the flesh aswell? or no, too late in history

before sabina died she said she was loosing her healing powers and the mushrooms were changing their native language to english
*thought id add an oddball*

I'd be very interested to know what exact species the ancients used...

agreed
