The Wachuma cactus contains a variety of alkaloids, including the well-studied chemical mescaline (0.21–1.8%), which acts like peyote on its long journey.
Mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) is a psychedelic entheogen that is also found in several other species of the genus Echinopsis (e.g., Echinopsis lageniformis, Echinopsis peruviana, and Echinopsis scopulicola) and the species Lophophora williamsii (peyote).
It is a cactus (Trichocereus Pachanoi) native to the Andes, between deserts and mountains. Use has been documented in the Andes for at least over 5,000 years.
This variety is specifically used as decoration in local homes along the Peruvian coast. Among the Andean people, the magic of the cactus extends far beyond healing, healing and amulet, as it is believed to guard homes like a dog, whistling in an unearthly manner and causing intruders to flee in terror.
Ceremonial use
The main effects of Trichocereus pachanoi were described by a practicing physician: “First, the cactus causes drowsiness or a feeling of lethargy, slight dizziness, and then “excellent vision”, clearing of abilities. Causes slight numbness of the body, and then calmness. And then comes detachment, a type of visual power that includes all the senses, a telepathic sensation of transmitting oneself through time and matter, as a kind of withdrawal of one’s thoughts into a distant dimension.” matter and participate in flight through cosmic regions. Wachuma guides the soul's journey along a more enjoyable and manageable path. You can quickly and safely transfer time, soul and distance.
“It allows us to connect directly with the Divine (God) and then heals us and opens our understanding to self-education.”
The cactus shows us true love in life, helps us free ourselves from this rough material world, because the cactus takes us into the depths of our psyche, into the world of purity, and teaches us not to lie (to ourselves). When a person is in this state, he communicates with himself and, one might say, with the more ethereal world of life, both mentally and spiritually, and unites all the feelings at once.
Not everyone will have a good impression of this drink for the first time.
An encounter with this sacred plant can be like a very rich and harmonious journey, full of love and forgiveness (some may feel nothing but physical sensations after taking it).
Every time a meeting with Wachuma is a new and unforgettable journey.
