How to Integrate Honey & Magic Mushrooms for Deeper Connection
Ashley Michaud • July 22, 2024
Nature has provided us with incredible tools for healing and personal growth, and among the most potent are bees, honey, mycelium, and psychedelic mushrooms. Each of these elements holds profound spiritual and natural significance, and when combined, they create a powerful alchemy that can enhance our well-being, deepen our communication with ourselves and the world around us, and foster a sense of community.
The Spiritual and Natural Significance
- Bees and Honey: Bees are revered in many cultures as symbols of diligence, community, and connectivity. They are essential pollinators, ensuring the survival of countless plant species. Honey, their precious creation, is often considered a sacred substance. Unpasteurized honey retains the natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to its healing properties. Local honey, in particular, can help build immunity to local allergens and offers a unique connection to the environment.
- Mycelium: The mycelium network, often referred to as the "Wood Wide Web," is the underground fungal network that connects plant roots, facilitating nutrient exchange and communication. Mycelium is a powerful symbol of interconnectedness and mutual support. It reminds us of the hidden, yet vital, connections that sustain life.
- Psychedelic Mushrooms: For centuries, psychedelic mushrooms have been used in spiritual ceremonies for their ability to open pathways to deeper consciousness and enhance communication with the spiritual realm. They offer a unique opportunity to explore our inner landscapes, gain insights, and foster healing.
Creating the Alchemical Blend: A Recipe for Blue Honey
Ingredients:
- 1 cup local, unpasteurized honey
- 3.5g of dried psychedelic mushrooms (such as Psilocybe cubensis)
- A special, clean jar for storage
Instructions:
- Preparation: Grind the dried mushrooms into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle.
- Mixing: Add the mushroom powder to the jar and pour the honey over it. Stir thoroughly until the powder is fully integrated with the honey.
- Infusion: Seal the jar and let the mixture sit in a cool, dark place for at least one week, allowing the mushrooms to infuse into the honey. Stir the mixture occasionally.
- Dosage: Once ready, start with a small dose to gauge your reaction. A common microdose is about 100mg to 200mg of dried mushrooms. For the honey mixture, this would be approximately 1/20th to 1/10th of a teaspoon.
Setting Intention:
Before consuming your honey, take a moment to set a clear and positive intention. This could be anything from seeking insight into a personal issue, enhancing creativity, or simply fostering a sense of peace and connection. An example intention could be, "Guide me with love and clarity."
Sample Ceremony:
- Create a Sacred Space: Choose a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Light a candle or incense to create a peaceful ambiance.
- Center Yourself: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Visualize a protective, loving light surrounding you.
- Express Gratitude: Hold the honey jar and express gratitude for the bees, the mushrooms, and the natural world that provided these gifts. Acknowledge their roles in the ecosystem and their contribution to your well-being.
- Consume with Intention: Using your sacred spoon, take a small amount of the honey mixture. As you consume it, focus on your intention and feel the connection to the natural and spiritual realms.
- Reflect and Journal: Spend some time in quiet reflection. Notice any thoughts, feelings, or sensations that arise. Journaling your experience can help integrate the insights you receive.
- Close the Ceremony: When you feel ready, gently bring yourself back to the present. Blow out the candle or incense, and thank the natural allies for their guidance and support.
