Cannabis Shamanism The biggest Secrect to Higher Consciousness


Cannabis has been used in religious ceremonies for centuries, it has a long-standing tradition in numerous world faiths. Taoist shamans used cannabis in combination with ginseng to reveal truths about the future, believing the plant had the ability to see into the future. Cannabis consumption was reserved for religious clergy and not shared with common people, that explains the strange exclusion from ancient texts. Cannabis holds a sacred spot in the Hindu faith. Shiva the locally favored Hindu deity was given offerings of cannabis drinks during religious festivals; community members took part as well, sharing cannabis bowls among one another. Herodotus, a Greek historian from the fifth century B.C.E. known as the “Father of History,” wrote that the Scythians held religious ceremonies in tent-like structures where they burned cannabis in censers on wooden tripods. Judaic and Christian traditions used the plant as well, the Hebrew word for cannabis, kaneh bosm, as calamus, a plant traditionally used to make fragrances. In Exodus, God commanded Moses to make a holy oil consisting of myrrh, sweet cinnamon, kaneh bosm, and cassia. Evidence reveals that marijuana was in use as a natural product in ancient Egypt. Egyptologists confirm that the uses for this versatile plant ranged from religious use to practical uses in everyday life such as fabric, paper,  industrial products, ands used as a natural treatment for different ailments. Egyptian deities Bast and Seshat were associated with cannabis, Seshat who was the goddess of wisdom, knowledge and writing, among other things, is depicted in ancient Egyptian carvings with a cannabis leaf above her head. Several researchers have suggested that the use of cannabis by the indigenous people of  North America pre-dates the arrival of Europeans in 1492. Resin scrapings reveal that the pipes contained “traces of cannabis and tobacco that is five times stronger than the tobacco smoked today.”
