  • Psilocybin & the Human Experience: Ancient Rituals to Modern Science
    Feb 14 2026
    Dive into the timeless relationship between humans and psilocybin in this enlightening presentation by Jacqueline. From the sacred rituals of the Aztecs - who revered psilocybin mushrooms as teonanácatl, "flesh of the gods" - to indigenous traditions across Mesoamerica, Africa, and even hints of ancient European use, Jacqueline traces the deep historical and cultural roots of these powerful fungi. She explores how ancient societies integrated psilocybin into spiritual ceremonies, healing practices, and rites of passage, viewing it as a direct gateway to divine insight and communal transformation. The conversation then bridges to the present, examining psilocybin’s remarkable resurgence in modern science. Jacqueline highlights groundbreaking clinical research showing its potential to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction, along with its ability to foster profound mystical-type experiences that parallel those described in ancient texts.She also addresses the evolving legal landscape - decriminalization efforts, FDA "breakthrough therapy" status, and the tension between regulation and access - while unpacking the spiritual benefits that continue to draw people to psilocybin today: enhanced connectedness, ego dissolution, and lasting shifts in perspective on life and meaning.Whether you’re fascinated by anthropology, neuroscience, spirituality, or the future of mental health, this episode offers a balanced, thoughtful journey through one of humanity’s oldest and most intriguing entheogens.Perfect for anyone curious about psychedelics, consciousness, or the intersection of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science.Also, we are joined on this episode by our brethren podcast, Ricardo and Jason of The Shaman and the Philosopher. We hold "UU Crew" sessions with them about once a month and always appreciate their perspectives on these topics. Go check them out!
