In pre-monarchic times, entheogenic plants and substances were highly respected and deeply embedded in the cultures of many ancient civilizations. Sacred plants such as Peyote, Ayahuasca, Fly Agaric Mushrooms, and Cannabis were used as spiritual catalysts to bring forth divine revelations.
The use of these entheogens served a powerful purpose; to expand consciousness, foster deeper understanding of our place in the universe and better understand the sacred mysteries of life. They were also used for healing rituals, seeking guidance from the spirits, divination, astral projection and trance-dance.
In modern times, though they have been largely forgotten or maligned by drug laws in some countries, these powerful plant substances still maintain relevance today. A plethora of scientific research continues to be done on them, revealing a broad range of benefits for physical health, psychological well-being and more.
