Soma and the Muiscas : The Colombian Mushroom Cults.

Abstract

Some conclusionshave been put to the paper. Schultes identified the Zenu and Quimbaya cultures as mushroom users in his famous paper. I added to this picture the Muiscas, the Tayronas and the Tolimas. Something makes sense in all of this, because the languages spoken by the Tayrona and Muisca tribes belong to the Chibchan families stock. There is a possibility that the Zenu culture teached the goldsmithing techniques to the Muiscas. Why not also knowledge around mushrooms? As in all societies the use of mushrooms probably become part of the elite priesthood long before the arrival of the Spaniards, but the persecution of the religious practices of the natives turned the used of the mushroom into a complete mystery.
