Chocolate chips, baking chocolate, chocolate melting wafers or chocolate bars
Dried psilocybin mushrooms
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
Chocolate mold or candy mold
Coffee grinder
Saucepan
Bowl or Pyrex measuring cup
HOW EASY ARE MAGIC MUSHROOM CHOCOLATES?
Magic mushroom chocolates are surprisingly easy to make. When you compare mushroom edibles to cannabis edibles, there is no contest. Mushroom edibles are easier and take far less time than cannabis edibles. For instance, the decarboxylation process doesn’t exist with mushrooms. You can eat mushrooms fresh, fried or dried and get full effects without complicated processes and calculations.
DOSING MAGIC MUSHROOM CHOCOLATES
Although every person has their preferred amount of mushrooms they like to eat, use less when consuming mushrooms in chocolate. Because the mushrooms are ground to a fine powder (increasing the surface area), they are more readily absorbed.
If you normally eat 3 grams of dried shrooms, put 2 grams into each chocolate.
WHAT DO SHROOM CHOCOLATES TASTE LIKE?
Mushroom chocolates have a delicious nutty flavor. In fact, if you didn’t know any better, you might think you are eating chocolate with finely ground nuts.
WHAT’S THE HARDEST PART OF MAKING MAGIC MUSHROOM CHOCOLATES?
The hardest part about making mushroom chocolates is managing the consistency. With the mushroom powder being so dry, the chocolate can get very thick and hard to stir and pour. However, you can try adding lecithin because it increases the viscosity of the chocolate. Otherwise, just be patient and work the chocolate the best you can. A small rubber spatula makes the process easier. Even if your chocolates look a bit rough, they will still taste great.
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING MAGIC MUSHROOM CHOCOLATES
STEP 1
Grind the dried magic mushrooms by putting them in a coffee grinder. Keep grinding until you have a light, fluffy powder.
STEP 2
Melt the chocolate by placing it inside of a container inside of a pot with water in it. For example, you can use a pyrex measuring cup inside of a saucepan with an inch or two of water in it. Make sure you have a wire rack or other spacer under the measuring cup to keep it off the bottom of the saucepan. This makes measuring the melted chocolate very easy.
STEP 3
Mix the dried magic mushrooms into the chocolate by adding a bit of powder at a time and stirring until it is completely mixed.
STEP 4
Pour the chocolate into molds. If the chocolate is too thick to pour, spoon the chocolate into the molds and smooth out the tops.
STEP 5
Cool the magic mushroom chocolates by leaving them on the counter at room temperature.
ANGEL CANDY
Ingredients
1 pound angelica, lovage or fennel stems
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
Instructions
Cut your angelica stems to a length that will fit into the jar you plan on storing them in. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Get a bowl of ice water ready. Boil the stems for 5 minutes, then shock in the ice water.
Meanwhile, bring the water and syrup to a boil. Get a glass or other non-reactive container ready for the stems and syrup. When the angelica is ready, put the stems in the container and pour the hot syrup over them. Let this come to room temperature, then cover. Let this sit at room temperature overnight.
Next day pour the syrup into a pot. Bring it to a boil and add the angelica stems. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, then pour everything back into the container. Let this come to room temperature, cover, then store overnight again. Do this once or twice more.
After the final syrup boil, set the stalks on a rack to cool and dry a bit. When they are room temperature, roll them in granulated or caster sugar and store in a jar.
THE MILK OF LIFE
Ingredients
1/2 cup hulled hemp seeds
3-4 cups water (use less water for thicker, creamier milk!)
1 pinch sea salt
1 whole date, pitted (optional // for sweetness // or 1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
2 Tbsp cocoa or cacao powder for “chocolate milk” (optional)
1/4 cup 1/4 cup fresh berries for “berry milk” (optional)
Instructions
Add hemp seeds, water, salt, and any additional add-ins (optional) to a high speed blender. Top with lid and cover with a towel to ensure it doesn’t splash. Blend for about 1 minute or until the mixture seems well combined.
Scoop out a small sample with a spoon to test flavor/sweetness. Add more dates, salt, or vanilla as needed.
Pour the mixture directly into a serving container. You can strain it, but it doesn’t needed.
Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. Will keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days (sometimes more). Enjoy cold (and shake well) for best results. It’s delicious straight from the jar, in smoothies, with granola, or in baked goods!

The study found that people who ingested liberty cap mushrooms would experience increased visual sensitivity at night. This is due to psilocybin, which is a hallucinogen that affects the brain similarly to LSD and mescaline. The mushroom contains psilocybin, as well as muscimol and baeocystin. The liberty cap contains psilocybin, which is believed to open the gateway to divine visions. These mushrooms have long been used in religious ceremonies to connect with gods and spirits but they are also thought to help heal psychological traumas or damage inflicted on the mind. According to the folklore of Iceland, the Liberty Cap Mushroom was once a person who had been beheaded. They would then grow back their head, but in the form of this mushroom. This species is also known as “Pholiotina cyanopus”. It is considered an hallucinogen and it’s effects are stronger than Psilocybe semilanceata. The psychoactive compounds of this mushroom include psilocybin and psilocin, which have been used for centuries by different cultures for medicinal purposes. These psychoactive compounds can promote mental relaxation and feelings of euphoria. Some people who use the liberty cap mushroom experience mild hallucinations like visual patterning or image distortion. Other effects can include laughter and relaxation. The effects of this mushroom typically last from four to six hours after ingestion, depending on the strength of the dose. In Iceland, magic mushrooms are legal as long as they are not sold or consumed in public areas.
Interesing facts
The religious texts of ancient Polynesians and the Norse settlers of Iceland both reference a powerful magical fungus known as “liberty cap”. According to legend, this mysterious mushroom could be found only in the highlands of Iceland and one had to be a chosen warrior or shaman to get it. The Vikings would use this mushroom during their invasions and raids to ensure victory. It is rumored that the Vikings even used this magic mushroom before they attacked England with King Knut in the year 1040. The liberty cap was said to have been so powerful that anyone who ate one would become fearless. They would not feel pain and when they were hit, it would feel like a light tickle. They would be able to fight for days without becoming tired, and they had superior strength. In addition, they would become invisible, so no matter how many people were around them, they could sneak up on their enemies without being seen. Today, there are still people who believe in the legends about the magical powers of this fungus and search for it every summer. They call themselves “Liberty Cap Hunters” and visit Iceland every year hoping to find it.
Arctic thyme is a perennial herb that is popularly used in Iceland to make teas, tinctures and salves. It’s also used as an ingredient in herbal blends, mixed drinks, baked goods and other recipes. It’s called arctic because it thrives at high altitudes and cold temperatures. The herb has been found near the summit of Iceland’s highest peak, Hvannadalshnukur, where it grows alongside other alpine herbs such as edelweiss and purple saxifrage. Arctic Thyme: Also called roseroot or golden moss, Arctic thyme is a flowering plant in the mint family,it contains thymol and carvacrol which are both very effective natural antiseptics and anti-fungals. There are many different species of arctic thyme and they are the only kind of thyme that grows in Iceland. They are found mainly on the west coast of Iceland, all the way up to the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The arctic thyme plant has gray-green leaves with slender stems and small purple flowers. In Iceland, people use arctic thyme for food, but it is also used for medicinal purposes. It has been used as a medicinal herb by the people in Iceland since the first settlements were established around 870-930 A.D. . It was often used to heal cuts and bruises and to help deal with the pain from sore throats. Women were known to use it when they gave birth to help them relax, but it was primarily used for culinary purposes then as well. Health benefits of Arctic Thyme: -The flowers have been used to soothe sore throats, while the leaves have been used to stimulate circulation and treat rheumatism. -The leaves can be added to ointments to help with swelling and inflammation of joints and muscles. -Arctic thyme has been known to help with gastrointestinal disorders like diarrhea and flatulence. -Antiseptic for mouth sores and toothaches.
Interesting facts
In older times, arctic thyme was used in love charms and it was believed that if someone who loved you would eat food flavoured with arctic thyme, they would fall in love with you. People also believed that if someone who hated you would eat food flavoured with arctic thyme they would fall out of it. The essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of this plant. It is clear to pale yellow in color with a strong odor and bitter taste. Arctic thyme oil has been historically prized for its antiseptic properties by the Icelanders. This plant also makes beautiful paper that was used for correspondence during medieval times. The plant itself has a distinct licorice taste and scent; these qualities are why it is sometimes called Mother of Thyme. In fact, Arctic thyme was once used to treat digestive issues; it was also thought to be a good remedy to treat respiratory diseases because of its menthol-like aroma. In traditional Icelandic cuisine since the Viking era and was even used as a remedy for toothaches and in the tanning of leather. Arctic thyme contains thymol and carvacrol which are both very effective natural antiseptics and anti-fungals. An old Icelandic saying goes “the first autumn frost makes the house clean.” In order to make a house clean, an old Icelandic superstition dictates that you must place a bunch of thyme on every step of your staircase and sweep it out afterwards. This ensures that your home will be free from illness for the coming year. Some superstitious Icelanders still follow this practice today.
Icelandic moss is a type of lichen that grows in Iceland and Norway. It is considered to be a type of lichen because it has a symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).Icelandic moss has been used in folk medicine for centuries, mainly as a wound dressing, both internally and externally. The Icelandic moss benefits have been recognized by modern science in recent years, as researchers have discovered its ability to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Due to its natural anti-bacterial properties, Icelandic moss is often used to treat skin issues such as acne, rosacea, cold sores, and burns. The Icelandic moss healing benefits are also known to assist with losing weight and regulating blood glucose levels. It is claimed that the Icelandic moss can also be used internally to treat stomach ulcers, heartburns or other digestive problems. It has very high level of chlorophyll, which is a very powerful healing agent that can help clean your body from toxins and bring back balance to your body’s pH levels. Icelandic moss is one of the best natural remedies against a cold or flu. According to research done by scientists at the University of Iceland, it contains an active ingredient called mucopolysaccarides, which helps protect blood cells from breaking down too quickly when you have a cold or flu.
There are a number of historical recipes that contain Icelandic moss as an ingredient, but it is also quite interesting to look at how the Icelandic moss was used in witchcraft.
Interesting facts
The early settlers of Iceland made use of the Icelandic moss in their daily lives. Some of the things they did with it were making an ointment, which was rubbed on horses’ legs when they were lame; this ointment was also believed to fix bones broken by falls or fights between horses or other animals. The Icelandic moss was also used as a cure for sore eyes and as a remedy for coughs and colds. Boiling the dried plant would make a decoction that could be drunk to relieve these symptoms.
Icelandic Moss grew abundantly in Iceland before the country was settled by humans. It was used for the roofs of their homes, as it was believed to have the power of absorbing lightening strikes. It was then gathered in large amounts and often kept at home, as it was believed to protect against evil spirits. As Christianity spread through Iceland, the beliefs surrounding Icelandic Moss were replaced with new ones. Some Christians believed that it had powers over demonic forces while others believed it could cure diseases. It was also used in several witchcraft practices in Iceland, where it was ground into powder form and mixed with water to be sprinkled on the “victim” of spells.*
The first written reference to Icelandic Moss is found in ‘Eyrbyggja Saga’. The saga describes how a man with a foot injury was healed after stepping into a moss-filled hole and then getting out of it. In the 19th century, Icelandic Moss became an important export item; however only dried moss was exported to Europe because it was easier to preserve than fresh moss.
In fact, Icelandic moss was one of the first plants to be utilized in the field of pharmacy. The plant is rich in vitamins B1, B2, C and E. It is also a good source of iron, calcium, phosphorous and magnesium. This makes it useful for curing anemia, as well as for boosting energy levels.
Icelandic moss has long been a source of sustenance, both for the body and the soul. The moss grows in the Icelandic countryside and is used in folk remedies and modern medicine alike. The Icelanders are said to have survived on it when they were first making their new home—likely because they were so close to starvation that they had to eat anything they could find.
Icelandic moss is a tasty, nutritious food that can be added to other foods or eaten on its own. In fact, one of Iceland’s most famous delicacies is made from dried Icelandic moss: brennivín, or “black death”. Brennivín is a schnapps that makes up an important part of the Icelandic drinking culture. It’s so important, in fact, that it even gets mentioned in the national anthem!
Angelica archangelica grows throughout Iceland, though mostly in the south-west regions, primarily around the highlands of Iceland near geothermal areas. It is most commonly found growing near hot springs emerging from lava formations in basalt rock, particularly to the northeast of Lake Mývatn. It can reach heights of around two meters and its bulbous roots can grow up to 10cm in diameter. Throughout the summer the greenish purple flowers bloom, followed by seeds which can be eaten raw or cooked. The roots are often dried and used as a snuff or tincture for colds and flu as well as other respiratory ailments. They can be harvested year round, though October-November is the main season for collection. The plant’s main compound is angelicin, a substance which works by opening pores on the skin allowing it to breathe more easily, reducing inflammation due to buildup of mucous on the surface of the skin. This makes it perfect for treating acne and related skin conditions. Angelica archangelica is also commonly used to treat stomach ulcers, intestinal worms and other digestive problems by speeding up circulation in the intestines and soothing any inflamed tissue and irritation. The roots of Angelica archangelica are used in traditional Icelandic herbal medicine as a diuretic, circulatory tonic, and remedy for rheumatism. It is also used for its anti-inflammatory effects on the respiratory system and for its analgesic properties. In Iceland, it is commonly used to treat arthritis and joint pain. Angelica archangelica has been shown to have potent antioxidant properties, preventing damage from free radicals that can lead to cardiovascular disease. It also possesses anti-tumor properties, and has been used as an alternative cancer treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.
Interesting facts
Alchemists of the Middle Ages and Renaissance believed Angelica archangelica to have mystical powers. Folk historians believe that people might have originally begun using angelica in this way because they noticed that animals whose wounds were treated with the herb seemed to heal more quickly than other animals, which may have led people to believe that it had magical medicinal properties. Angelica archangelica was once thought to be an effective treatment for plague, cholera, and other infectious diseases. It was used as part of the standard treatment for tuberculosis until the late 1800s. In medieval times, angelica root was thought to be a cure for everything from rabies to snakebite. In addition, angelica was said to promote prophetic dreams, protect against evil spirits, repel insects and increase male potency. However, its most valuable use as a spice was in flavoring aqua vitae (literally “water of life”), an alcoholic distillation of various herbs and spices including angelica root. The drink became known as “wormwood” because of its bitter taste once the alcohol had been extracted. This plant gained its name archangelica from its use as a remedy for fevers with chills by European monks who thought it was good luck to grow this plant near their monastery. The name also references its connection with Archangel Michael, the leader of the angels who fought against Satan. In witchcraft (specifically Wicca), Angelica archangelica is used for spells for protection and banishing evil spirits and demons. In folklore, it was thought that if you were to pick this plant, you would be cursed by the Fairies. The Fairies were not happy about this plant being picked.
Hemp, or cannabis, has a long history in Lithuania. Marijuana was used as an ingredient in medicine and had a legal status in the country until 1783, when the Russian Empire banned it. Folk songs were often written about hemp; children would play with hemp dolls and use hemp to tie up their infants to cradle boards. Hemp was also commonly used in traditional magic practices and rituals performed for healing purposes.
In one Lithuanian fairytale, a girl creates a shirt out of hemp and gives it to her grandmother who puts it on; this shirt then turns into iron chains, imprisoning the old woman. In another tale, an old woman throws hemp seeds into the fire, which turn into gold coins.
Lithuanian folklore attributes various magical powers to hemp plants: they can protect against evil spirits and bring good luck to people if they rest near them; they can cure diseases; and they can even chase away witches and prevent their evil spells from succeeding.
Lithuanians have a long history of using hemp for magical purposes, such as making amulets and guarding against evil spirits. Hemp leaves were often used to decorate homes during festivals, and in villages there were special songs about hemp. Hemp played an important role in folk rituals—people burned the plant at weddings because they thought it would bring fertility to the couple’s marriage.
In Lithuanian mythology, hemp is associated with the sun goddess Saule (Saulė). She walked across the sky every day carrying two baskets: one filled with food that she gave to humans, and another full of hemp seeds that she gave to animals. Lithuanians believed that if they didn’t show respect to the goddess, she would become angry and would not bring the sunshine anymore. The people could avoid her anger by making sure they wore hemp clothing on holidays.
People believed that hemp grew from the earth and its roots could reach the underworld. Hemp was seen as a cure-all, healing everything from skin rashes to infertility. Hemp was believed to have been given to people by God himself, since it had so many uses.
In Lithuanian fairytales hemp is often mentioned as a gift or a food source. For example: in the fairytale “The White Snake” a white snake turns into a girl after eating bread and a comb made of hemp; in the fairytale “Salvonia” hemp seeds are given to king’s daughter as well as a magical seed; in the fairytale “The Bride from Afar” hemp seeds are given to bride on her wedding day so she can spin them into thread.
Iceland has a range of naturally growing plants that have been used in remedies for centuries.
Icelandic healing herbs have been a part of the Icelandic folk culture for ages. There are many unique species in Iceland and some are quite rare. Also, lot of different plants have been used for both medicinal and alchemical purposes since the old days.
In this blog we will talk about the history and uses of native Icelandic and Lithuanian healing herbs as well as their benefits, old recipes and uses in folk remedies.
In Iceland there is an abundance of flora that have both medical properties and magical properties. There are many Icelandic herbs that have been used for both healing and hexing throughout history. One such herb is bjórbolla or “witch’s moss” which is a small green plant with yellowish-green flowers that grows on lava fields, mostly on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Although it can be found elsewhere in Iceland, its main habitat is in South West Iceland (the area around the Reykjanes Peninsula). It bears white flowers during the summer months.
The Icelandic healers of old would often mix bjórbolla with other types of moss, e.g., reindeer moss, to make poultices which they applied to wounds to stop bleeding, ease pain or draw out any venom from snake bites or poison ivy allergies
The cannabis plant (hemp) has had a huge impact in our lives since the dawn of recorded history, and is still used in many areas of human activity. Its seeds and flowers produce essential oils and protein-rich meal, while its fiber and wood provide materials for food and construction. Cannabis seeds and related ingredients (hemp oil and hemp protein) are widely used in nutrition, cosmetics, medicine, light industry, building materials etc.
Hemp flower power
Cannabis was first documented as a useful plant in the 3rd millennium BCE, but archeologists believe that the use of cannabis goes back at least 10,000 years. Cannabis was used as a food source and also for medical purposes. The Chinese Emperor Shen-Nung is considered to be the father of Chinese medicine and is said to have prescribed cannabis for gout, depression and malaria between 2700 and 2500 B.C.. While most early records of medical marijuana come from China, there are references to it in ancient India, Greece, Rome and Egypt.
Huge shift in science started after Endocanabynoid system discovery. The first study to look at it was by a neuroscientist from Liverpool University named Dr. Mike Howell in 1988, the first cannabinoid receptor was identified in the brain of a rat.
Researchers discovered that these receptors interacted exclusively with receptors found in the cannabis compound, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). What was even more surprising is that these receptors were found concentrated in parts of the brain responsible for mental and physiological processes (memory, high cognition, emotion, and motor coordination).
In 1993 a second cannabinoid receptor was identified. This receptor was distributed throughout the immune system and peripheral tissues of the body. It was then that researchers realized they were onto something big.In 1995 researchers discovered that two receptors―now deemed the CB1 and CB2 receptors―were found not only in rats, but within thousands of other species―including humans
Research on endocannabinoids, which are synthesized by nerve cells in the brain, has thrown new light on many disorders, from autism to cancer. This system is one of the most important neuronal pathways involved in inflammation and immune responses. Experts are still trying to fully understand the ECS. But so far, we know it plays role in regulating a range of functions and processes, including:
sleep
mood
appetite
memory
reproduction and fertility
Even if the ECS exists and is active in your body even if you don’t use cannabis. This was a huge breakthrough because it revealed one profound fact―our bodies were designed to interact with cannabinoids. Whole new era of research of cannabinoids started, beginning with few main ones – THC and CBD.
After so many years of cannabis prohibition, medical science is only just starting the research required to fully explore cannabinoid biochemistry. Much more remains to be done.
Meanwhile perhaps the most exciting chapter in cannabis history is just unfolding. Cannabinoids are one of the most abundant and promising yet least explored natural medicines. While THC is perhaps the most notorious cannabinoid in pop culture, there are many other such compounds produced by the cannabis plant, the importance of which we are only just beginning to understand. To this date, at least 113 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the Cannabis plant. But there is some scientific disagreement about the precise number as more research is conducted into cannabinoid science and new breakthroughs/discoveries are made. The two best known cannabinoids are THC and CBD, but other minor cannabinoids are starting to receive attention as cannabinoid research intensifies, knowledge expands and pharmaceutical interest gathers pace.
Lets take a look at THC. Because of its ability to induce mind-altering effects on the user, THC has been classified as an illegal substance in most countries around the world.The stereotype associated with the frequent marijuana user is a drug addict, a drug dealer, or a lazy do-no-gooder. There is no doubt that this stereotype stems from the prohibition of marijuana, and there is no escaping the racial factor that is involved in this stereotype. With the population of cannabis users around the world growing (the inevitable result of legalization), it is important to break the stereotype to avoid discrimination. In order to integrate the use of cannabis into the new paradigm of society, we should first identify that there are a number of different social groups that participate in the use of marijuana, and most of those groups do not fit into the stereotypical perception of the marijuana user.
As the legal use of hemp and other cannabis products grows, consumers are becoming more curious about their options. This includes cannabidiol CBD. Despite their similar chemical structures, CBD and THC don’t have the same psychoactive effects. CBD is psychoactive, just not in the same manner as THC. It doesn’t produce the high associated with THC. CBD is shown to help with anxiety, depression, and seizures.
There are people all over the world using marijuana to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, cancer, nausea, and even anxiety. In fact, as technology continues to increase in the scope of being able to produce medical marijuana products, there are ways being found for the medical marijuana user to ingest cannabis without even getting high. With CBD-only marijuana and CBD oil becoming more and more readily available, there are cannabis users who are receiving the medicinal benefits without the cerebral high. CBD-only marijuana is a strain of marijuana that does not contain the psychoactive compound of the marijuana plant THC, , and instead contains only the medicinal properties of CBD.
These cannabis users are definitely not sitting on their couches eating and watching mindless television all of the time. In fact, it is likely that they resorted to the use of medical marijuana in order to be able to continue productively living their lives.
