Huautla Magic Mushrooms

According to traditional Mazatec healers, psilocybin mushrooms grant access to, or are literally seen as spirits with whom the healers can form a relationship. The mushrooms reveal information, or speak through the healer in improvised, poetic chants believed to have healing power. The names given to the mushrooms by the Huautecos—‘little saints’, ‘saint children’, ‘holy children’—are indicative of the spiritual significance this culture has attributed to psilocybin mushrooms.

Along with Mazatepec, it was one of the first strains to be introduced to modern western culture in the late 1950’s by R Gordon Wasson in his famous LIFE Magazine article “Seeking the Magic Mushroom” which featured María Sabina, the famous curandera performing traditional healing ceremonies known as a veladas. 

The traditional way to ingest Huautla magic mushrooms is by candlelit ritual, the lack of external stimuli creates a space which is most conducive to looking inside oneself.  In lower doses, the Huautla strain is well known for its euphoric and calming effects. Your body will relish in a state of healing sedation that seems to never end; in higher doses, the Huautla strain is often known to elicit hallucinatory geometric patterns similar to DMT.

Whether you’re a novice tripper or an experienced psychonaut, the healing effects of the pequeños santos will last a lifetime.
