RE: Black magic and dodgy shamans: The dark side of Ayahuasca
What a sobering article, choo.... But I guess this is kind of come with the territory of having a boom in any industry. It is sad that there are 'healers' who are not out to look after people but who are after the same things we in the capitalistic world are plagued with. But naturally, such things make sense.
I am glad that you did all of your research first, carefully and with great care, before you undertake your ceremonies, and I think, having read your entries, the results clearly show that, with informed decision makers, the ceremonies' returns can be really rewarding.
As usual, I find your article very easy to read and full with positive flow. I hope others who are interested in braving ayahuasca/yage ceremonies will heed your words :)
Yeah, the same could be said for a bunch of traditional Indigenous/Eastern practices. Yoga comes to mind, which has been totally integrated into Western culture now, but mostly without the original Sanskrit/spiritual meanings. However, yoga is obviously far less dangerous for your mental health! And I to be honest, I like where Western practitioners have taken it (aerial, acro, etc.).
Did you see my last aya post? I think you were on hiatus when I published that one. I loved that night (although I love all my nights).
I need to check your blog actually and see how your zodiac series is going. I took a week off social media.
