Searching shamanic healer work with magic mushroom

[siegmundlorenz]

Since seven years I go a modern shamanic way, combinate drumming and shamanic journey with philosophie and psycholology. Two years ago I´ve had my first contact with magic mushrooms, they are calling me to work with the spirits I´ve got in contact on my second psychedelic journey. First step for me was to grow the mushrooms and talk about this with my modern shamanic teacher, but he don´t work with this mushrooms, has no experiences. Next step was to contact shamans of nepal this weekend to talk about this if it is possible. I will see !!!
If somebody in the forum know some shamanic healer or teacher who work with this way, perhaps in Europe, and will give me a possibility to get this difficult information on a discreet way I would be very happy.

Generally I have the question if it is necessary to work in my case with a teacher or is the spirit of the mushroom, teacher enough ?!

psychedelic journeys, philosophy and psychology, that's my way also. but why would you need anyone to be around? i think a 'modern shaman', how you call it, could teach you about the healing abilities of plants (but hey, we're living in the 21st century, check out erowid), maybe even shatter your whole picture a bit (all mind bending substances and important books will do the same, without any company), but he sure can't teach you about yourself, that path, my friend, you have to go alone. mushrooms are pretty common, you ingest it and that's where the journey starts, maybe it's just me, but i really can't see why a shaman should be present. there's a few things you have to take care of, like reading about it in the firsthand (dosage, risks), being in a safe enviroment, etc.

hi there!

i do not know shamans around that work with the mushroom ... i believe that the mushrooms are indeed teachers on their own ... they are ally's and they guide you. nevertheless it's harder and takes longer to understand the messages and true meaning of the mushrooms without someone that tricks your ego and creates strange atmosphers where nothing makes sense anymore. most poeple i know take the mushroom as teacher without anyone guiding the contact.

btw - read this book: 'Arno Adelaars' - 'everything on mushrooms' (alles over paddo's - in original title) (this Dutch guy wrote a book - and i saw him on television few weeks ago in a tipi guiding someone that took mushrooms for the first time - was cool - so maybe he knows ??!??)

In a study posted in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, so-called magic mushrooms were recognized as a potentially healing narcotic. The study found that religious participants that took psilocybin, the active drug in magic mushrooms, reported mystical encounters and better life satisfaction 14 months later. I read this here: Controlled magic mushroom doses could have psychotherapeutic uses.
