Curandera by Irenosen Okojie, 2025

"#Psychedelics – like dancing, drumming, darkness and other psychotropic drugs – push #shamans into states where they and their communities believe them to access otherworldly powers. This contrasts with the western clinical application, where psychedelics are administered like medicine and used to break down patients’ harmful patterns of thought."

The article is a little confusing. It seems to question the #ancientorigins of #psychedelicuse, but the presented evidences are quite weak.

The ancient psychedelics myth: ‘People tell tourists the stories they think are interesting for them’

The narrative of ancient tribes around the world regularly using ayahuasca and magic mushrooms in healing practices is a popular one. Is it true?

I recall hearing something along these lines just over a dozen years ago when I was travelling in #Guatémala . The suggestion was that resort to #humansacrifice failed to offset the effects of sustained drought so the elite that had practised it (presumably in order to appease the gods ) lost its authority. The #shamans who took over encouraged and organised migration westward into regions with more plentiful rain and also abandoned the previous practice of human sacrifice .

Danach spielten ich #shamans das erste Mal. Es hat mir gefallen, obwohl social deduction nicht meins ist. Das Spiel nennt sich ein Stichspiel. Ich würde es als Kartenablagespiel bezeichnen, da man nicht an "Triumph"- oder Bedienregeln gebunden ist. Je nach Mitspieler skaliert die Kartenanzahl und -farbanzahl. In der Mitte des Tisches wird noch eine Leiste mit Stein und Plättchen gelegt (Aktionsplättchen). Wer nun anfängt, legt eine beliebige Karte aus. Ich entscheide mich, ob ich "bediene". 3/6
