Entheogens are psychoactive substances, including psychedelic drugs (such as magic mushrooms) used throughout history in sacred contexts.
Entheogens have been used in various ways, including as part of established religious rituals and as aids for personal spiritual development.[1][2] Anthropological study has established that entheogens are used for religious, magical, shamanic, or spiritual purposes in many parts of the world. They have traditionally been used to supplement many diverse practices geared towards achieving transcendence, including healing, divination, meditation, yoga, sensory deprivation, asceticism, prayer, trance, rituals, chanting, imitation of sounds, hymns like peyote songs, drumming, and ecstatic dance.
The psychedelic experience is often compared to non-ordinary forms of consciousness such as those experienced in meditation,[3] near-death experiences,[4] and mystical experiences.[3] Ego dissolution is often described as a key feature of the psychedelic experience.[5]
