Ancient Effigies of Teonanácatl 

 
Ancient tributes to the sacred mushroom from Mesoamerica and Perú
stone and ceramic artifacts circa 1000 b.c. to 500 a.d.
Teonanácatl was the principal shamanic power ally of the Aztecs, Nahua, Mazatecs, Olmecs, Mixtecs, Zapotecs, Maya, Mije, Chinantec, Chatino, Otomi, Tarascana and other pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures of antiquity in Mexico, Guatamala, El Salvador and Honduras...and possibly the ancient Moche, Yurimagua and other civilizations of Perú and Colombia as well...

The secrets of universal power and knowledge it reveals are indeed timeless and profound...no less so now than in ancient times.

 "The little mushroom comes of itself, no one knows whence, like the wind that comes we know not whence nor why."
