Sacred Mushrooms and Plants

Mugwort is one of the sacred shamanic plants of the British Isles. It grows along lanes, roads and rivers and is used traditionally for shamanic journey work, lucid dreaming, cleanising, celemonial use, clairvoyance, divination and opening the third eye. It is also an excellent medicine for working with women's reproductive problems and anxiety and depression. 

Hemp and Cannabis are now being acknowledged as potent medicine and an evolutionary leap for fuel, fabrics paper, removal of radiation from the land and so much more. As part of the Ancestors Awakening artwork, I will be creating images of sacred plant, mushrooms and natures medicine. The leaf structure of Hemp and Cannabis are remarkably similar, also the alchemical formal for health, welling, magic and natural applications are many... 

The Amanita Muscaria, also known as the Fly Agaric is a very mystical and visionary mushroom, used for journeying by the Siberian Shamans and magical individuals from Albion.  These mushrooms have also many healing properties.

I enjoyed painting this design so much that I started to create a series of work based on mystical and healing mushrooms, the microbiome and mycelium. 

Same info for part two: The Psilocybin is known as the Liberty Caps to many. These little mushrooms are shamanic, magical or will take you on a journey, so I am told.

Also, it seems scientists have verified that microdoses of Psilocybin in guided therapeutic sessions and supportive therapy can help alleviate depression. 

All sorts of stuff is coming out regarding how a good many types of mushrooms can be for medicine, for the body and soul.

I had been thinking of the design on cups, so I have painted two long images as panels, that when flipped will make a pattern.
