for almost a year now, i've been hearing tales of a mythical beast called bufotenine. how it captures the souls of men and transports them to impossible worlds with impossible landscapes. plasmic realities where geometry and conscious forms enter a dreamer's mind and share wonderments that transcend time and self. i had heard these tales and more. i had tried to know them for myself but never to any satisfying culmination.

until last night...

the tan crystals sparkle like some type of alien ore. mined from deep within a terran holy sanctum, the very look of the bufotenine belied it's pending wonderment. i knew this was going to work this time. something in me was already beginning to shift while i mindfully rolled the herbal cigarette that would carry me away. peppermint, mullein, lavender and 30mg. of sacrament. rolled neatly and placed on a shipibo tapestry on my alter.

time to drink my caapi... full strength brew. large mug. night time has a sound to it. a singing. every speck of emptiness i perceive with my eyes is full of life force. it is rainbow prismatic....there is no space that is "empty".

20 minutes later and i am love. the deepest peace has consumed me. i am a dream-walker. a shaman in the truest sense. both worlds are laid over one another to create a third world. this is where i am now. i meditatively walk into my bedroom with my cigarette, my GVG and my torch. there is the strongest sense that something magical is not only going to be happening but already is happening. this is one of those journeys that has been instigated by the "higher-ups". i am in no way making any of this happen now....

in bed. lights out. under my favorite cozy comforter. comfortable the way an embryo is comfortable suspended in the womb. i begin to smoke.

i never smoke, so to prevent my throat from getting irritated i take slow puffs and spread them out. over the course of about 5 minutes i have consumed nearly all of my cigarette and the sensations are already quite noticeable....

geometry geometry beyond geometry. mayan warriors walk past me. it is almost as if i am in a movie of a time long past. farming. tribal. beautifully decorated people. proud people. simple, pure life and i am in a bucolic scene just filled with peace and oneness. a familiar alien energy is also present and i can see the machinery that i normally see on my way back from a DMT breakthrough. i am very aware that either i have had enough neurons awakened by spice to see the connection OR these two medicines are very closely related. either way, as new and wonderous as this all is to me, there is a wonderful familiarity at the same time.

which inspires me to raise my GVG to my lips in the hopes of bringing these two worlds together.

everything i was feeling from the bufotenine is now amplified tremendously. the village i am in has sound. REAL sound. language, singing, the sounds of footsteps and conversation. the sounds of baskets being woven and spears and bows clanging together. the sounds of feathers being attentively placed into head-dresses and dyes being applied to clothes and skin. the sounds of life. THIS life. i have never had such an immersive auditory experience as this. it is so immersive, in fact, that the visual sense of being in this place is almost taken for granted. i am utterly absorbed in trying to hear what is being said and shared. at one point i even begin to speak...parroting what i am hearing.

i forgot to have my tape recorder on for this journey and for that i am truly bummed. there is no question in my mind that i was speaking an actual language. an ancient language. it just sounded and felt "right" as i spoke it. hard to explain....

the wonderfully massage-like quality of these three medicines: caapi, spice and bufotenine was utterly rapturous. my mind and my body felt as though they were being soothed on an astral level. i was deep. very deep. and yet, i was so at peace....i could have stayed there forever.

two hours later and i was still feeling the dreamy effects of my maiden voyage. i can't help but think that this is just the tip of the iceberg wtih this medicine. bufotenine has so many things to teach. paired with DMT, it is a completely immersive experience into another reality. add some caapi and you are going to experience another life altogether. this is, without question, the most synergistic amalgam of plant allies i have ever brought together in the same journey. i will DEFINITELY be working with this combination A LOT.

the mythical beast is my friend now. it has taken my soul as the lore described, and it has brought it back richer for the experience. i am moved to my core. i cannot recommend this medicine highly enough.

WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE!!

Once again, another Bufo tale that leaves me very intrigued. I must find my way to it, I must.

Thanks for sharing Ant, and thanks for sharing so beautifully.

YAY antrocles! yay indeed...im so happy you have seen what bufotenine has to offer...i also absolutely love the combination of caapi, dmt and bufotenine...but i have yet to drink a brew before with bufo..only smoking harmalas and caapi vine...but i have a feeling that time is coming!

this is wonderful to hear antrocles...btw how did you extract?

Sooooo wonderful Antrocles..Im so happy you met this old man finally

"geometry geometry beyond geometry. mayan warriors walk past me. it is almost as if i am in a movie of a time long past. farming. tribal. beautifully decorated people. proud people. simple, pure life and i am in a bucolic scene just filled with peace and oneness."

Yes yes!..that's how it starts for me as well..they are always there walking around me in this place..very aware of me and trying to show me things..and they are definatily very human like..like ancient warriors and shamans and the like..all with things to show and teach..

Great report Antrocles.

Why is everyone using it with caapi though? It’s plenty active on its own for SWIM.

i took bufo on its own for about a month..then added caapi and found I much preferred it with caapi..apparently the natives do as well becasue the piaroa people are known for being master yopo makers with the strongest stuff..and they add caapi directly to the snuff..and are known to drink a caapi brew before hand..

I always add caapi extract to my bufotenine enhanced leaf..and then sometimes I also drink a brew before hand..it makes it more psychedelic..helps with the side effects for me..makes it much more similar to psilocin and ayahuasca with DMT..the caapi just adds so much meaning..

The most auditory journey i had with bufotenine as well was when i smoked it after drinking ayahuasca.

The spirit of ayahuasca for me is all in the vine..so you bring the vine into the mix and you have that guide there with you..vilca with caapi brew to me is ayahuasca..diff from my brews with mimosa but still that spirit is there.

Absolutely wonderfull report and so beautifuly written - with the afterglow i have today from last nights journeys with fungus i felt almost as if i was experiencing it as i read it.
Great to hear of your success with this combination - i hope to try it soon.
Im also interested how you came to yeild this lovely bufo ?

Ant

What a beautiful bufotenine journey my friend, you have greatly inspired me to journey with bufotenine soon. May i ask how many journeys did you go on with bufotenine until you had your first experience? I have read it takes a while...


Much Peace and Compassion

i've worked with it maybe a half-dozen times in the past with very little effect other than the head tingle and nausea. i used the the "no smell bufo tek" in the bufotenine section of the forum and i got the #11 seeds from maya. i used 250gr. seeds and wound up with 1.25 gr. of pretty "toxin-free" bufo. this was my first journey with this new bufo so i'm not sure how much of it was having those previous journeys and how much was just having higher quality bufo....either way....WOW!

you and phlux MUST do this tek and enjoy it's gifts!! this is very special medicine. very special.

MUCH LOVE AND GRATITUDE!!

I will definitely be doing that tek soon. Ive been wanting to work with bufo for awhile now and Its great to hear that the tek works that well. Im also glad to hear that theres a good source for vilca too. Ill have to get some soon!! Thanks for the awesome report antrocles!! How was the nausea with the bufo from this tek?

absolutely NO nausea! that was the best part of the whole experiment!! this tek ROCKS!!! THANK YOU LUCID LEMONADE!!!

L&G!!

I'm so glad to see people finally experiencing pure bufotenine!!!!

It's a diamond in the rough. It needs to be purified. Yopo/Vilca contains a lot of nauseating crap that's hard to remove unless you use the right tech.

hah - nice, i have had that page open as a tab for the past 2 days as a reminder to try that tek.
Today is the day to try it
I hope i have the same success as you.

Thanks ... but its probably OriginalFace, Jorkest & a few others who deserve the credit...

BUT...Everyone here @ the Nexus should give themselves a huge pat on the back... As the amount of work done with bufo and the improvemnts to the TEKS that have popped up over the last few months/weeks here have been simply amazing.

This place ROCKS!!!!

Antrocles

Than ill practice some patience with my bufotenine journeys my friend, little step by little step is always the best way to go with all entheogen journeys. I'm tingling with excitement, i cant wait to journey with this special medicine. Thank you so very much for the information, i wish you all the happiness in your journey my friend...


Much Peace and Wonder
