The Crimson Veil Fly Agaric

Описание: The Shamanic Roots of Christmas: The Crimson Veil 🍄🦌

Before the modern myth, there was the forest. "The Crimson Veil" explores the ancient, psychedelic origin of our most famous holiday colors and the legend of the flying reindeer.

[Lore & Legend]

The Sacred Mushroom: The Amanita muscaria (Fly Agaric) is the iconic red-and-white mushroom found beneath the Great Spruce. Ancient Siberian shamans gathered these "fruit of the gods," drying them in the branches of the trees like the very first ornaments.

Spirit Flight: Reindeer are known to seek out and feast on these fungi, leading to "leaping" behavior that inspired the legend of flying steeds.

The Shaman’s Descent: Dressed in red and white to honor the mushroom, shamans entered snow-locked yurts through the smoke-hole—the original "chimney"—to bring the gift of vision to their tribes during the longest nights of the year.

The Great Spruce: The Christmas tree was once the Axis Mundi, the world-pillar that shamans "climbed" in their trances to reach the stars.

[Musical Style] Dark Folk / Folk Metal: A journey through tribal percussion, ritualistic chanting, and the crushing weight of the northern frost.
