the story:

With this essence, the story of our time here and the times before the first instance of humanity’s ancestors becomes clearer. Amanita muscaria has a rich history and while she has sometimes been regarding as a “deadly” or “toxic” mushroom, they actually have an extensive medicinal use and are considered safe for ingestion when prepared properly (such as in this essence form). It is emblematic in the human psyche and their image can be seen everywhere from the Mario video games to modern day emojis / pictographic internet and cellphone response codes. (Remember how Amanita mushroom gave Mario a “boost”? Ha.) With today’s technology, we have been able to access a storehouse of information about this mushroom, and when we are graced with their presence in person, it is truly no wonder why this hongo is revered and respected by many indigenous and shamanic cultures. In essence form, Amanita mushroom is applicable for so much. Many mushroom essences have a shared medicinal profile of encouraging transformation and change. Mushroom essences are also particular for enabling us to come into spaces of connection and reciprocity; they are for community-weaving and culture-shifting and building. Crafted through sun in Scorpio with a full moon in Taurus, this Amanita medicine helps us to remain stable in the face of death, so it is also ideal in grief work and for death doulas. Because of this dynamic solar and lunar influence, the Time Traveler Catalyst is charged to bring insight to and connection with our shadow side and the fragmented parts of us needing soul retrieval. It is one that I have found to be especially useful during breathwork and in my yoga practice as it enables me to drop more deeply into my body and simultaneously connect with the psychoemotional through perception of organ function and increasing spiritual awareness. Amanita muscaria is called “Fly Agaric” which also alludes to its effectiveness in aiding spiritual travel; this quality figures heavily in Amanita’s capacity to guide us as we traverse not only the shadow lands but also our dream worlds. By creating harmonic resonance with our organs and bodily systems, el hongo instructs us on where the pain of traumas more deeply impacts our bodies and leads us toward transmuting the hurt into healing. Amanita muscaria is particular for repair after sexual and sensual violations or to resolve any guilt or inadequacy we may feel in that regard. This translates well into an uplifting of our creative forces which moreover helps us to create music, paintings, poems, and other forms of art with more ease and trust in our abilities.

NOTE: This is an essence, not an infusion, tincture, or other extract, so it is very safe. Considering the information shared above, please be very mindful if you ever decide to work with Amanita in other forms. It is advised that extensive research be done.

A note about using flower essences:

flower essences are not oils. They are vibrational healing remedies which affect and change energetic conditions and, like some oils and other medicines, can be used internally, on acupuncture/acupressure points and chakras, sprayed in the energy field, dripped in your water, and even used for personal and professional massaging. It is best to use an essence or combination and/or group of essences for 30-33 days to permanently shift patterns and create new habits, healthier lifeways.
