This seems to be a common theme among many users, including the native north americans as well as south americans. Castineda saw the moth as significant in his journeys. Many south americans use the theme of the hummingbird or the jaguar in their journeys.

I've had cool encounters with small birds and also a cool encounter with an irridescent green wasp that I haven't before or since seen in this part of the world.

What have your experiences been? I'll expand my stories when I have a little more time to do so.

On a 2 foot dose of bridgesii, Ive had my face morph into a jaguar. I had been staring into a mirror when it happended. I love mirrors when im on psychedelics its like looking into an alternate world.

On a torch/pedro journey I saw very many snakes. I have actually seen snakes many times with cactus. They are usually pretty cute, not angry or aggressive looking at all. It's very strange, as I neither fear nor particularly admire snakes.

Although the animal was really in the room . . . on 940 mgs of dirty mescaline acetate, I watched my fat brown cat look at me, give me a secret big smile, then transform as I watched into a hard shelled purple alien sphere with cat ears and cat eyes. He radiated to me, "Okay, okay, now you see my TRUE form. Let's keep this between us okay?"

Just ate some mesc hcl with an eighth of cubensis a day or so ago out in the desert and hiked all day with a good friend. Largely plant vibes radiating strength out there. Fields of cholla cactus, thickets of acacia greggi, yucca candles pronouncing themselves to the sky and desert in resplendent bloom before their death, and expanses of creosote bushes in geometric patterns across the valleys. As for animals... a hummingbird danced with us for a bit, we jabbered with a crow for a while, and at night an owl was near camp for a while along with coyotes of course. Also have had countless cat experiences/moments on mesc, lsd, etc.. cats really do seem to walk the line between worlds..

One thing I forgot to mention is that cactus is the only thing I've seen full fledged animals. I have seen animal-like beings, and visuals before, but not like on the cactus. Is this similar with others experiences? Is mescaline prone to giving animal visions?

more often than not i see rabbits, real rabbits, and i tend to get very close to them. i start following them around playfully and only when i get within a couple of feet do they hop off and the game continues.

cats always seem aware that im using mesc/cacti and they act erradic or super loving. a couple of times i thought the cat was on drugs, but there was no possible way.
i saw my cat teleport around the room with an extra set of eyes, smile at me and then blink reality into a vortex and reappear elsewhere over and over and over.

i too also turned into a jaguar on several feet of achuma

another time on 2 feet i was made up entirely of snakes, snakes made up of every animal slithering infinity within themselves. the same trip i was greeted by a giant phoenix/condor. the same trip included a zombie/undead flesh eating post apocalyptic cat

a couple of times i saw spiders everywhere, and once while i was already a cat i transformed into a giant spider


several people have told me i am the master rabbit, mentioning that i was a giant rabbit smiling scarily at them. one told me that i was the creator of all things rabbit.

nahko bear "fix it"

this song makes me think of my experiences

Interesting about the rabbits. Now that you mention it, I remember there being something about rabbits during my recent trip at the coast. I had forgotten about it till you mentioned them. I don't remember why but there was something significant. I remember thinking about a couple of Japanese rabbit tapestries I was given as gifts when I went to Japan for Aikido training. Also I am year of the rabbit in asian astrology, and remember thinking about that.

I remember frogs during that experience too. I kept coming across all these little frogs everywhere. Pretty sure most of them were real.

Ive took a lot of powdered peruvian torch and had lots of good times but no animal encounters that I can recall. Though my one and only mescaline experience a psychedelic dragon fly landed on the back of my shoulder trying to get my attention. I was very lucid, it seemed completely natural and familiar. It was roughly 350-400mg of 69'rons limonene tek. It was a very nice positive experience with an obvious animal encounter, unlike my many powdered cactus trips.

Cacti seems to bring some sort of deep link with animals that is undeniable! I experienced the crazy synchronicity of sitting on a beach with my friend after a night of Pedro learning and after all the amazingness stated "the only thing that would make this better right now is if we saw some dolphins." At that very moment, two little dolphins shot out of the water, playing in a sunrise tide right in front of us. They continued their show for a good 5 minutes before disappearing again into the ocean. As we walked up the road away from the beach, we looked at the farmland on either side of us and noticed that every single cow and sheep was pressed up against their fences, staring at us. Noticing an audience of 200 livestock while tripping is slightly uncanny, but there was no doubt in my mind that we were linked in with them or they could at least perceive something about our mindstate. After reading these stories, I would like to try being around a cat as well. Amazing.

now that you mention it skitty, i often walk/ bike during parts of my trips and quite commonly do i find animals attracted to me in an unusual way. i live in a semi urban area so outdoor pets comprise most the audience.

i just remembered the first time i ate 2 feet of achuma, i was running in the night towards the woods with my ipod playing some glitch mob, as i was running a flock of birds above me seemed to join my trajectory, my perception transmuted into a diamond, like the flying v above me, i was running as the birds were flying and it was all synchronous with the music. very amazing. later in that trip i went from being a cat to a spider, after embodying shiva...

I just had a nice visit with a hummingbird this morning. I'm not on mescaline, but it's spirit is with me all the time nowadays.

First I heard him singing. Then I spotted him sitting on a low branch at about eye level. I was about 3-4 paces from him. He just sat there and sang and showed off his red throat. Finally I decided I should be on my way and started to walk away and he got up off the branch and hovered above it flashing his red throat. I took a step closer and he sat down on the branch again. I stood and observed him for a bit and turned away and he immediately flew off.
