Nice all the childrens stories and cartoons are made to represent ancient mushroom cults, I am not joking about that either. Disney has many depictions of magic mushrooms in their films. Also New York emblem refers to the Phrygian/Liberty Cap, the same little cap by the french Revolutionaries. Was doing a post on that, got too many posts on the go.


The Cartoon “Smurfs” are blue like psilocybin, they all wear liberty cap hats, and live in amanita muscaria houses!


There have been many mythological mushroom heroes known throughout history. Perseus was an ancient mushroom hero, founder and King of the city-state of Mycenae (Mushroom City). Perseus flew around on winged sandals making “Perseia” a magical herb, grow wherever he dropped the chape of his scabbard. Wherever Perseus dropped his cap, “myces,” mushrooms would sprout underneath. Libertus is another mushroom hero whose depiction can be found atop the US Capitol building of all places.


1000BC carvings of mushrooms

Libertus wears a Liberty Cap (or Phrygian Cap) which is shaped like and named after the Liberty Cap mushroom. This is where we get the idea of a “thinking cap” because when you ingest the cap you are teleported into an introspective, wondrous experience. The Phrygian/Liberty Cap was worn by Masonic revolutionaries during the French and American revolutions as well as by Perseus, Mithra, Santa, Elves, and the Smurfs.



It is also worn as a “night cap,” a double entendre which nowadays means having a alcoholic beverage before bed. The original idea of a night cap, however, was when Mithraic/Mystery school initiates would eat a large mushroom cap then lay in hot tubs and astrally project out of body.



SOME BACKGROUND: The Liberty Cap not only refers to the psilocybin contaning mushroom that is found all over temperate zones of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, but also to the style of hat many know to be worn by the Smurfs. Also known as a Phrygian Cap or Pileus, it was worn by emancipated Roman slaves as a symbol of their new freedom. The hat has a rich, long history and was worn by the Hellenistic savior god Mithras and the Anatolian god Attis. Often it is placed on top of spear which makes it look exactly like the mushroom and, as such, it has been portrayed in alchemical texts and hundreds of ‘coat of arms’ over the centuries and was widely used in the symbolatry of the American and French revolutions. It still can be seen on many national flags, US State flags and official seals, including the Seal of the US Army (see below) over which it proudly states “This We’ll Defend”.



Manly mushroom



In the ancient Egyptian mythos, Isis is fleeing from an enemy while in the form of a phoenix when she changes into a hare to escape down a rabbit hole. Rabbits and birds have for ages been associated with spring/fertility, but less known is their association with the magic mushroom.



The red and white Amanita Muscaria has long been symbolized by the phoenix, and the brown Amanita Panthera symbolized by the hare.

“The Phoenix: From the ashes (spores) the egg appears. Then comes the upturned cap resembling a gold and red colored bird (the gills as feathers). Then the heat (sun) burns the mushroom and it dissolves, once again leaving only ashes (spores), and finally repeating the whole cycle … The Phoenix-bird mythology is another piece of mushroom folklore.



As the fetus is generated in the furnace of the uterus, so the mushroom, that ‘evil ferment of the soil’, as Nicander (second century BC) calls it, is created, a womb within a womb, as it were. Like the fabulous Phoenix, the mushroom is self generated and regenerated, bursting forth from the vulvae, only to die as quickly and then apparently miraculously to reappear, a resurrection of its own self.”


More later working on this post, which fits in with christmas trees, santa, elves, flying carpets,manna, Percival, Arthur, the golden fleece, where the term everyone gotta get stoned and other mysteries
