Hey guys, I'm Chastity and this is the ancient conspiracies podcast.

Well, welcome to a new Q&A episode, even though I'm taking a break from the full episodes, I couldn't quite stay away. And over the break, I had a really great question sent to me through my website that I just felt like I needed

to share immediately for some reason. But before I proceed, I want to make it clear that the

responses that I'll be giving today are based on my personal perspective. So you can take it with a

grain of salt if you like. So I have this question come in that I've been actually asked before, but this time it hit a little

bit differently and I felt the need to address it. The person asked, I've heard a lot of people

talk about religious and life-changing experiences using psychedelics. I'm wondering how that fits

into ancient practices and whether it would be considered of God or of more pagan traditions?

Were mushrooms present in God's original creation?

Or are these a result of tampered DNA from the fallen angels?

Is there any legitimacy to the experiences people have had?

And are they godly or sinister despite feeling religious?

Well, I really enjoyed receiving this question because it's one of those things that are typically not allowed to be asked in church.

It's more of a voodoo topic that's better left untouched in the religious realm.

And before I issue my response, I want to make it clear that I have no personal experience with

drugs or psychedelics.

So when it comes to this topic specifically, I'm speaking from an outsider looking in.

But believe it or not, I've been interested in this topic for a few years.

And my drug fascination of choice has always been ayahuasca.

Now, I don't remember how I stumbled on the topic of ayahuasca years ago, probably in some

documentary.

But for those who aren't familiar with it, it's a combination of plants.
