Today is September 20th, and you know what that means – it’s Magic Mushroom Day! 🍄 

As we celebrate this special day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the profound wisdom and potential of psilocybin.

The Magic of Psilocybin

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, has been revered for thousands of years. Many brilliant minds have shared their insights on this magical substance throughout history.

Let’s explore some of their wisdom:

• Terence McKenna: “The world is a strange place. And all I really want to know is: what’s going on here, and why is everything so strange? The answer I get is psilocybin.”
• Paul Stamets: “I think that psilocybin mushrooms have the potential to change our consciousness in a way that could create a better world.”
• Dennis McKenna: “Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for thousands of years as a sacrament, a tool for inner exploration, and as a way to connect with the divine.”
• Alex Grey: “Psilocybin is a great teacher; it allows us to see the beauty in the universe and the interconnectedness of all things.”
• Gordon Wasson: “The mushroom experience is a kind of rebirth. It brings you back to a state of pure consciousness.”

The Microdosing Journey

For many of us, microdosing has become a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. Remember, microdosing is like chicken soup – we all know what it is, but we each have our own unique recipe. It’s about noticing and experimenting, finding that sweet spot that works just for you.

Here’s what some experts have to say about the potential of psilocybin:

• Graham Hancock: “The use of psilocybin mushrooms has been one of the most important tools for human evolution and spiritual growth.”
• Michael Pollan: “The experience of psilocybin is so rich that it can make the ordinary world feel like a mere shadow of the extraordinary reality that lies beneath.”
• Ralph Metzner: “Psilocybin is a tool for expanding awareness and exploring the hidden dimensions of the mind.”
• James Fadiman: “Microdosing with psilocybin can be a way to enhance creativity and problem-solving abilities.”

Reflection and Intention

On this Magic Mushroom Day, I invite you to reflect on your journey with psilocybin. 

Whether you’re a seasoned microdosing pro or just starting out, take a moment to set intentions for your practice.

These insights might inspire your reflections:

• Lester Grinspoon: “Psilocybin mushrooms offer a glimpse into the transcendental, a space where the ego dissolves and the mysteries of the universe become clear.”
• Timothy Leary: “When you are on psychedelics, you can suddenly see the world through different eyes.”
• Ram Dass: “The purpose of life is to be more fully awake, to understand the divine nature of existence.”
• Andrew Weil: “Psilocybin mushrooms may offer profound insights and therapeutic benefits, revealing aspects of the mind that are not typically accessible.”

Closing Thoughts

As we celebrate Magic Mushroom Day, let’s honour the wisdom of psilocybin and the potential it holds for personal and collective transformation. 

Whether you’re microdosing today or simply reflecting on your journey, remember to approach it with humility, reverence and patience.

To close, let’s consider these two very important thoughts:

• Rick Strassman: “Psychedelics show you what’s in and on your mind, those subconscious thoughts and feelings that are are hidden, covered up, forgotten, out of sight, maybe even completely unexpected, but nevertheless imminently present. Depending upon set and setting, the same drug, at the same dose, can cause vastly different responses in the same person. One day, very little happens; another day, you soar, full of ecstatic and insightful discoveries; the next, you struggle through a terrifying nightmare.”
• William A Richards: “What we call integration seems to entail a repetitive, intentional movement within awareness between memories from alternative states of consciousness and the demands and opportunities of everyday existence, including former habits of thought or action that may feel out of sync with the new knowledge or self-concept.”
