RE: The beauty of amanita muscaria (photos of yesterdays mushroom hunt)
They look beautiful. I've never had that kind of mushrooms but I've always wanted to try. Have you ever heard the story of how the figure of Santa Claus is based on shamans that would bring amanitas to people's homes for the Winter Solstice? They say that's where the color red he wears comes from. Great work!
It also connected to a lot more stories of christmas. For example the raindeers are feed with amanitas to drink the urin. Also wild raindeers like to eat this mushroom. Also the connection with the flight and the name of the mushroom. Also the way you look when eating it: You get a santa like face :D
Yes indeedy. Most cool things go back to the Pagans one way or another
