Introduction


This article details a personal experience with a unique psychedelic combination known as Psilohuasca, which involves the use of Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms and Syrian Rue. Combining these substances can enhance the psychoactive effects due to the presence of harmala alkaloids in Syrian Rue, which inhibit the breakdown of psilocybin in the body. This report chronicles the preparation, effects, and profound insights gained during this journey.


Preparation for the Experience


Growing Psilocybe Cubensis


The author had been cultivating Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms, anticipating that the yield would enhance their psychedelic experience. However, the quantity produced was not sufficient for standalone consumption, prompting the exploration of complementary substances.


Syrian Rue Acquisition and Research


After conducting thorough research on the synergistic properties of Syrian Rue (Peganum harmala), the author ordered this plant, known for its psychoactive properties due to harmaline, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). This combination promises to intensify the psychedelic effects of the mushrooms.


The Experience Begins


Preparation of the Brew


On a Saturday following a mushroom harvest, the author prepared for the experience. They measured out approximately 2 grams of Psilocybe Cubensis and 2.7 grams of Syrian Rue. The Rue was ground into a fine powder using a coffee grinder, then combined with half a lemon to extract the alkaloids more effectively. Boiling water was poured over the mixture, which was steeped before being strained into a mug and sweetened with honey.


Initial Effects and Environment


At 11:30 AM, the author began consuming the Rue brew, followed by the mushrooms exactly 30 minutes later. Feeling the onset of the Rue's effects, they ventured outside, cycling through fields to find a suitable spot beneath a tree. The humid weather added to the experience, initially causing feelings of nausea and anxiety. However, these feelings dissipated as the psychedelic effects began to manifest.


Intense Visuals and Auditory Hallucinations


Open Eye Visuals (OEVs)


Once settled under the tree, the author experienced powerful open-eye visuals. Patterns and colors became fluid, resembling the effects of Changa, a smokable blend of herbs and DMT. The visuals intensified, and focus on particular objects revealed deeper complexities.


Closed Eye Visuals (CEVs)


With closed eyes, the visuals transformed into dynamic three-dimensional shapes and patterns, including snake-like creatures and rotating tribal faces reminiscent of totem poles. These experiences illustrated the rich tapestry of the mind under the influence of Psilohuasca.


Connection with Nature


Exploration and Inner Peace


As the effects deepened, the author felt a profound connection with nature. Despite initial weakness in their limbs, they managed to explore further, pushing their bike through the grass. Auditory hallucinations accompanied this exploration, with sounds warping in time with their movement. They discovered outlines resembling human figures in the grass, enhancing the surreal nature of their surroundings.


The Encounter with the Albino Fox


Eventually, the author settled beneath a young oak tree, where feelings of happiness and a sense of inner peace enveloped them. During this period of reflection, they noticed a creature approximately 20 yards away. Initially mistaking it for a cat, they soon realized it was a larger, wild creature with large ears and a fluffy white coat. After making eye contact, the creature—identified later as an albino fox—fled the scene. The author found joy and mystery in this encounter, leading to an exhilarating ride on their bike, contemplating the significance of the sighting.


Conclusion: A Journey Beyond Coincidence


Upon returning home, the author researched local wildlife, discovering that the creature they encountered closely resembled an albino fox, albeit with notable differences in color. While skeptics might attribute this experience to coincidence, the author felt a deeper, more spiritual connection to the encounter, adding a layer of significance to their Psilohuasca experience.
