The practice of Australian ayahuasca neoshamanism involves a critical cultural sensibility that permeates the realms of mythology and phenomenology. Practices of narrating ayahuasca trance experiences, and the trance experiences themselves, are subject to ritual codes of individualism (Gearin, 2015a) that encourage a wide variety of beliefs and perspectives to be articulated and experienced. Within this heterogeneous whole, I argue, are certain tendencies of belief that can be read as forms of cultural critique and oppositional politics.
