The full moon appeared slowly from behind a curtain of clouds and a beam of light seemed to pour right into our kettle of Amanita. At that instant, the water began to boil as if heated by lunar energy—a cosmic blessing from the gods. Then as flames from our ritual fire leaped high into the heavens, we merged with the spirits of Soma and welcomed them back to the earthly plane
Though it was autumn in the year 2001, there was an ancient feeling to this night. The air was pure and the only sound was from a choir of lingering summer crickets. Gnarled branches of Manzanita cast shadows across the mossy boulders and everything was bathed in the glow of silvery blue light.
We could imagine a scene much like this happening thousands of years ago when robed figures of the Holy Ones chanted over the Soma in a sacred grove. A time when God sent His Angels in the form of beautiful red mushrooms and spoke to the Wise Ones of Earth.
Like these sacred ancestors, we commune with the mushroom through pure love. We treat them like royalty and on this magical night we drank our sacrament and were filled with heavenly light.
For nearly twenty-five years, we've devotedly explored the Amanita kingdom together, sometimes, living outdoors as Soma nomads to follow the Soma season. We've enjoyed many Full Moon ceremonies and glorious Solar ones too, held in the mountains, by pristine lakes and rivers in northern California and Pacific Northwest.

Soma at its peak can double your physical strength and produce divine visions of the future. On Soma, your mind is floating on a sea of ecstasy. When Soma becomes one with you, mind and spirit, you will be on the best high of your life.
The “Red Treasure,” a name for Soma in the Vedas, (ancient Indo-Aryan bibles) increases intelligence, builds spirit, strengthens will, and raises consciousness. It elevates you to a higher Heaven, connects you to a higher God, and helps you speak with the Angels, gods and goddesses.
This heavenly elixir is an excellent ally that can take you on a journey to a spiritual realm for wisdom, knowledge and truth.
Soma is the divine love of God through His transmission to His elite. Soma is a living temple of God, an edible deity. — Hawk
