Hiya Hasch!Namaste dear farmer
Thank you for showing up here and sharing your grow.
I was also looking into the Haoma, Soma recipes a while back. My conclusion was also that Soma was likely a mixture of different substances. Probably including Cannabis.
In the more northern and "european" areas of the world there are tales of a brew or concoction that the wise women / healers and mystics made called flying ointment.
A mix of a number of psychoactive plants etc. There are even depictions of the psycodelic trips they had with that ointment.
The christian church took these (mostly) women in their sights. Killing of almost all of them across many areas in now a days Europe.
(This is one of the reasons I have great difficulty coming to terms with the christian church.)
I assume they were afraid of the knowledge and influence these people held.
Because of this eradication the knowledge (recipe) of the flying ointment was lost. As was a treasure trove of herbal lore and wisdom...
Regarding my Cannabis growing. I am finished for this year. Next February I'm planing to go with strains with stronge sativa influence like ACE seeds Honduras x Panama and New Caledonia.
Love your thread
Take care
An honor to meet and many thanks for taking the time to write, as well as providing very interesting insights.
Yes unfortunately some religious cultures were scared from healers, shamans…and as the Christian church went on « witch hunting »…as you said like the oinment, alot of the knowldege has been lost. Unfortunately alot of these practices were handed down orally and therefore no litterature on the subject can be found. They had vast I mean vast knowledge of herbs, and the healers would take great risks to be their own lab rats.
By any chance do you know the name of that ointment? I have a feeling it could be mycelium based or yeast.
Like for example, one reason the Vikings were so good in battle is, that they used to take shrooms.
In Iran, we had that amazing guy ( I am a huge fan), a genius herbalist, who’s name is Hassan Saba, the creator of the Assasins, He used to give a yogurt based drink made with hash/kiff to his disciples.
I think China has the oldest marijuana seed. They found seeds in graves of chinese shamans.
Hasch, are you German or Germanic? Tell me more about you, you seem to have a very interesting background. What are your hobbies?
By the way, i know Ace has alot of exotique lineage seeds. Pretty similar to another seedbank that really peaked my interest from NZ called Kiwiseeds.
Do you recommend Ace seeds and which ones?
Also please right more, i like reading you!
