Fly Agaric and it’s ties with Christmas | Amanita Muscaria Mushroom

Did our much loved Christmas celebrations derive from a psychedelic trip from the Amanita Muscaria mushroom?

Where did the idea of Father Christmas come from? Do reindeer really eat magic mushrooms to get high? Why does Santa Claus come down the chimney? And are elves real?

Join me as I explore the parallels between the winter solstice celebrations from the arctic communities of the Kamtchadales and Koryaks of Siberia, and the traditional Christmas celebrations we practice today.
