Shamanism and Hallucinogenic Plants.


Web link: dumas.ccsd.cnrs.fr/dumas-015...

Abstract

A ritual and cultural specialist, it is from his particular connection with Nature that the shaman drew knowledge of the teaching plants, these entities deified and respected for the mystical experience they provided. These plants with hallucinogenic and entheogenic powers came to perfect shamanic control of the journey between worlds, through the irresistible power and relentless reproducibility of their effects on consciousness. It is therefore quite naturally that the fate of the shaman binds to that of the plants of the Gods.
