Mushroom ceremony of mazatec shaman Maria Sabina

So I found this looking around for ancient Aztec mushroom ceremonies, Its weird to think that parts of this have been used throughout history, and that it has been passed on from generation to generation and now we too form a part of this traditions in some little way

Mushroom Ceremony Of Mazatec Indians Of Mexico 1957

Artist: Shaman woman Maria Sabina

Folkways Records FR 8975, this is a US pressing of the impossible
to find "Mushroom Ceremony Of the Mazatec Indians Of Mexico" This
recording, made by Gordon Wasson in 1956, attempts to chronicle a
religious ceremony involving the ingestation of psychedelic mushrooms
by Indians who are attempting to communicate with the Divine Spirit.
Lots of wild, hallucinatory chanting and the like, which might even
appeal to fans of phonetic sound poems or dadaist utterings. Another
unusual historical document that only Folkways would have released.

The originals came out in 1957 with a blue cover and this press has
the tan cover from 1966.

"HERE IS A SHAMANIC PERFORMANCE COMPLETE. DR WASSON, A PIONEER IN THE
STUDY OF THE ROLE OF MUSHROOMS IN RELIGIOUS RITUAL, GIVES US A TRANSCRIPTION
OF AN AUTHENTIC "CONSULTATION" OF THE SACRED MUSHROOM, IN SOUND. THE OCCASION
WAS THE ILLNESS OF A YOUTH. THE MUSHROOM, THROUGH THE MOUTH OF MARIA SABINA,
A FEMALE SHAMAN, DECREED THAT THE BOY MUST DIE. HE HEARD THE BAD NEWS AND DIED
DAYS LATER. DR. WASSON TAPED THE ENTIRE VELADA. DR. WASSON IS ABLE TO PROVE
THAT THE WORDS AND UNDOUBTEDLY THE CHANT ARE PRE-CORTES, GOING BACK FOR MANY
CENTURIES. NOTHING LIKE THIS RECORD HAS BEEN DONE FOR THE NEW WORLD; IT IS
RIVALED IN THE OLD WORLD ONLY BY THE VEDIC CHANTS OF INDIA".

Recorded by V. P. & R. G. Wasson in Huautla de Jiménez, in the Mazatec Mountains
in the northern corner of the Stateof Oaxaca, July 21, 1956.
