Divine Mushroom of Immortality

This is an article written in 1809 by Georg Heirich von Langsdorf on the Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) mushroom. I found it very interesting.

Divine Mushroom of Immortality
by: Georg Heirich von Langsdorf

The plant kingdom is of immeasurable influence and usefulness for mankind, since it supplies most of our clothing, food, drink, and shelter. The medical science of primitive people consists entirely in their knowledge of the more or less efficacious plants, and everyday experiance confirms the fact that even a number of plants native ot our own regions are known to many uneducated nations almost more thouroighly than they are to us.

To demonstrate this assertion, I should like to say at this point something about the fly-agaric, which we regard as extremely poisionous but which is used by various inhabitants of northeastern Asia as an intoxicant just as wine, brandy, arrack, opium, kava, and the like are used by other nations.

The Kamchacals gather them usually during the hottest months of July and August; they maintain that those that dry themselfs in the earth, on the stalk, and that are somewhat furry and velvety to the touch on the underside of the cap have a far stronger narcotic effect than those picked fresh and strung up to dry in the air...

The smaller mushrooms, which are bright red and covered with many white warty protuberances, are said to be far stronger in narcotic power than the larger ones, which are pale red and have few white spots.

The usual way to consume fly-agarics is to dry them and then to swallow them at one gulp, rolled up into a ball, without chewing them; chewing fly-agarics is considered harmful, since it is said to cause digestive disturbances.

The body's predisposition or susceptability to the intoxcicating effect of fly-agarics apperently is not the same at all times, since the same person may sometimes be strongly affected by a single mushroom and at other times remaining completely unaffected after twelve to twenty of them. Ordinarily, however, one large fly-agaric or two small ones are enough to make an enjoyable day.

The narcotic effect begins to manifest itself about a half hour after eating, in a pulling and jerking of the muscles or a so-called tendon jump (although sometimes these effects appear only after an hour or two); this is gradually followed by a sense of swimming befoer the eyes, dizziness, and sleep. During this time, people who have eaten large quantity of mushrooms often suffer an attack of vomiting. The rolled-up mushrooms previously swallowed whole are then vomited out in a swollen, large, and gelatinous form, but even though not a single mushroom remains in the stomach, the fly-agaric eating are, in fact, intensified. Many other persons never vomit, even after eating copiously of the mushrooms.

The nerves are highly stimulated, and in this state the slightest effort of will produces very powerful effects. Consequently, if one wishes to step over a small stick or straw, he steps and jumps as if the obstacles were tree trunks. If a man is ordinarily talkative, his speech nerves are now in constant activity, and he involuntarily blurts out secrets, fully consious of his actions and aware of his secret but unable to hold his nerves in check. In this condition a man who is fond of dancing dances and a music-lover sings incessantly. Others run or walk quite involuntarily, without any intention of moving, to places where they do not wish to go at all.

Equally remarkable and strange is the extremely subtle and elusive narcotic substance contained in fly-agarics, which retains its effectiveness permenantly and can be transmitted to other persons: the effect of the urine form eating one of the same mushrooms can be transmitted to a second person, the urine affects a third, and similarly, unchanged by the organs of this animal secretion, the effect appears in a fourth and a fifth person.

Fly agaric is also the kind of mushroom that Vikings took to enter the "beserker" state for battle. The Icelandic name for the fly agaric contains the word 'berserk' in it.

  2. This paper is based upon the author’s “SOMA, Divine Mushroom of Immortality “, published in 1969 in New York by Harcourt Brace & World Inc., and in The Hague by Mouton. This work is referred to in the following pages as ” Soma”.

    Some 3,500 years ago, in the middle of the second millennium before Christ, a people that called themselves Aryans swept down from the north through Afghanistan and occupied the valleys of the Indus. They spoke an Indo-European language. They were hard fighters driving horse-drawn chariots. They sowed grain and bred cattle, horses, and sheep.

Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Tea Recipe

Well here is a tea recipe for the fly agaric mushroom for those interested. Make sure you have DRY caps. Crush desired amount, this recipe I'll say 30 grams, which will probably make you forget your name... make sure its a fine powder. Add 6 cups of water and keep it just barely boiling for about an hour. Make sure you don't let it boil too long otherwise you will ruin it. After, strain it, then let it cool. About 2 cups is what you'll need to drink to get off. Its not going to taste good, you can add different herbs or whatever you would like to make it taste better, but I don't bother, I don't drink it for the taste. (: Anyways very simple guide. Enjoy and be safe.

Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Mushroom Drug Test Info

I'm on probation myself so I researched this thoroughly before trying it. The quick answer to whether or not it will show up on a standard drug screening is more than likely no (I can't guarantee 100%). Psilocybin Mushrooms won't show up either on standard tests from my research, although I won't guarantee this. Standard tests will look for: 1. Cannabinoids (marijuana, hash) 2. Cocaine (cocaine, crack, benzoylecognine) 3. Amphetamines (amphetamines, methamphetamines, speed) 4. Opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine) 5. Phencyclidine (PCP) More advanced ones will also look for: 1. Barbiturates (Phenobarbital, Secobarbitol, Butalbital) 2. Hydrocodone (Lortab, Vicodin) 3. Methaqualone (Quaaludes) 4. Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Librium, Serax, Rohypnol) 5. Methadone 6. Propoxyphene (Darvon compounds) 7. Ethanol (Alcohol) 8. MDMA (Ecstasy) If you're on probation/parole you can expect the more advanced tests. But from all my...
