POPSAre parts of the Santa Claus myth based on Amanita muscaria poisonous mushrooms? More: Ott also speculates about Santa's bag of toys. According to historians, ancient Siberia was one of the first civilizations to use fly agaric in practice. The Siberian hut, or yurt, is equipped with a smokehole at the top. Ott suggests that a shaman entered the yurt through the smokehole with a sack of mushrooms in his hand, to be placed in stockings over the fireplace where they could be dried for celebratory use. I dunno... I was thinking of making a mushroom gravy for dinner that night, but not a shroom gravy, if you know what I mean... That might make the meal a little too interesting. ;-)

POPSSanta Claus is a Psychoactive Mushroom ... The scholars of hominid history are uncovering a constantly larger past in which the earlier members of our species continually appear to be smarter, more accomplished, more adept, and more complex than we had previously believed ...

POPSSanta claus and Fly Agaric It's only a hypothesis, but that's strange to see a red and white man flying with reindeer who let a shiny trace behind them. Anyway Santa has several origins (The catholic saint, the kings who brought presents to the Christ for example) I had not enough space for the critics on this hypothesis (part of the same document): One scholar researching possible links between religious myths and the red mushroom notes, "If Santa Claus had but one eye , or if magic urine had been a part of his legend, his connection to the Amanita muscaria would be much easier to believe."

POPSUrine For a Treat I read this and think, how in the hell did the process of discovering these things unfold. "hey I got an idea. You eat the shrooms, then I'll drink your pee" "cool, man" Oh yeah, like that's going to happen. I mean, what are the odds?
