[Excerpt from S.T.R.I.X. archives]
This piece of information is particularly cryptic and dangerous: I will write only what I am sure to have understood, to avoid any risk to a "naive" reader. Literaly the Little Smoke, Humito is a special pipe mixture prepared by Native Americans for both shamanic training and entering the Kingdom of Dreams.
The main ingredient for this mixture is a mushroom, either Psilocybe mexicana or Amanita muscaria: this must be cut in thin stripes and kept drying up in a little gourd hermetically seald a year long, till it becomes a fine dust. [Note: Both these mushrooms are poisonous, therefore I would never proceed as written here]
The second ingredient comes from a bush leaves [Note: I was not able to discover which one], which must be harvested in All Saints' Day: branches edges are cut, with the tendriest leaves and Y-shape stems. With a string tied between two bushes in a lonely place, the branches are hanged as laundry, where they must stay till the dry up in shadow. Dried leaves are hermetically sealed in a bundle, till they might be mixed up with the mushroom.
Last three ingredients are flowers from different plants: they must be put in three different earthenware with a cap and left to dry up and get mouldy in darkness. [Note: This is pure nonsense! They will be put all together at the end, but you to collect, save and season them separately]
Leaves and flowers function is that of sweeting the smoking mixture flavour. Furthermore they are the burning part of mixture itself.
By smoking Humito int the Calumet, the mushroom dust deposits itself on the smoker tongue without burning and its psychothropic principle comes into action. [Note: At least this is what the author of the two books quoted in this cryptic text say, but these books do not exist]
According to the bit of information I found, these concept were written by Carlos Castaneda [Note: No idea about who he is] in both "The teachings of Don Juan: a yaqui way of knowledge" and "A separate reality: further conversations with Don Juan". |
