An Abstract Image of the Ancient Hallucinogenic Snuff Practices of South American Indians

    The Indians of northern South America were reported by the Spanish as far back as the 15th - century to inhale a powder called cohaba to communicate with the spirit world. The hallucinogenic snuff - known as yopo was derived from the beans    

of the tree, Anadenanthera peregrina.  Apparently yopo has been used by the Indians for hundreds of years prior to the Spanish conquest.

       

The 2002 Telluride Mushroom Festival T-Shirt illustrates symbiosis, the process uniting all the inhabitants on Earth - - different species living in physical contact with each other.  Mushrooms and trees are interdependent in a symbiotic relationship.  The thread-like mycelium of mushrooms in the soil entwine the rootlets of trees, enabling nutrient exchange.  To thrive, each needs the other.  Gaia, Earth’s huge ecosystem, basically is a process of symbiosis.

The Caduceus, the staff with snakes curled around it with wings on top, the symbol of medicine and the physician, is integrated with the large mushroom and other psychoactive substances including:

  1. 1)small mushrooms

  2. 2)peyote buttons

  3. 3)ergot

  4. 4)marijuana

  5. 5)ecstasy

  6. 6)ayahuasce

  7. 7)the toad (DMT)

The image expresses the potential usefulness of psychedelics in the treatment of diseases affecting humankind.

    The snuff was consumed by blowing the powder forcefully from snuff trays into nostrils through long tubes of dried plant stems or hollow dried bird long bones.

    The tubes and snuff trays were often ornamented with decapitators with heads, mythical animals and also occasionally mushrooms.  The last suggests that hallucinogenic mushrooms were also used.

    In 1977 chemical analysis of the snuff powder reveled known hallucinogenic substances - several tryptamine derivatives.

    The design on the T - shirt includes: Snuff Tray, Snuff Tubes (one with mushrooms), Anadenanthera tree leaves & seed pods, Decapitator, Decapitated head, Attendant of the Sun & Sun God.

   

Mushroom Stones

    Mushroom stones first emerged into Western culture in 1898 from the highlands of Guatemala in photographs by a German photographer, Carl Sapper.  About 300 sculptures have been discovered ranging from about 1 - 3 feet in size.  The Wasson’s linked the stones with the mushroom cult of Mexico.

  

The drawing on the front of the T-shirt relates the image of the mushroom stone with the visions of the psychoactive mushroom experience.

    The illustration on the back of the T-shirt depicts the gift of Teonanacatl, the psilocybin mushrooms given for an evening velada, from the curandera Maria Sabina to Gordon Wasson.

     ?Can Mushrooms Save the World?

Looking up through a Sequoia sempervirens forest.  The Coast Redwood trees are ancient giants, the tallest living beings on the Earth, reaching heights up to 379.3 feet.  They can live to be more than 3500 years old.  The latin meaning “forever living” or “forever green”.
