Tea, Truth, and the Red Cap

Amanita Muscaria

Sacred. Strange. Story-soaked. Known as the fly agaric, but remembered by the soul as something far older.

Why We Work With It

Amanita Muscaria is not your average mushroom. Revered in shamanic traditions from Siberia to Scandinavia, it’s been linked to Norse berserker rites, Santa Claus legends, and ancient dreamwork. When dried and used intentionally, it may offer:

  • Deep nervous system repair
  • Restoration of parasympathetic calm
  • Dream-state access and symbolic guidance
  • DNA recalibration and ancestral release

Ben's Path With The Mushroom

I came to this medicine not through trend or thrill — but through calling. In stillness, under a blanket of stars, I listened to the whispers in my bones. This fungus wasn't here to entertain. It was here to remind me.

I now use dried Amanita in tea blends with lemon balm and honey, a ritual of grounding and remembrance. It’s not about escape. It’s about arriving.

A Word of Care

Amanita must be respected. Raw caps are toxic — drying transforms them. This is not psilocybin. It operates in a completely different space: one of body, dream, and deep cellular repair. We do not sell or promote casual use — only awareness, education, and ancestral reverence.

“Amanita speaks in symbols, not sentences.”
