Indigenous peoples the world over have used entheogens (Greek for substances which ‘evoke the divine within’, usually natural plants and fungi, as opposed to psychedelics which are made-in-the-lab chemicals). Pre-eminent amongst modern entheogenic use is ayahuasca and San Pedro in South America, peyote in North America, and psilocybin-magic mushrooms through Mesoamerica and Siberia–and all of the above in the Western-led Shamanic Resurgence that is currently blossoming across the world.
