Core Belief System
The Holy Spring is a modern, eclectic pagan religion that reveres nature and views psilocybin mushrooms as a divine gift ,from the Earth Mother, meant to guide humanity in spiritual growth, healing, and communion with the Divine. The mushrooms are seen as a key to unlocking sacred knowledge, deepening one's connection to the cosmos, ancestors, and natural world, and achieving a higher state of consciousness.
1. Reverence for the Sacred Mycelium Network:
All life is interconnected through a vast, unseen spiritual network, mirroring the mycelial networks of fungi. Psilocybin mushrooms are seen as the fruiting bodies of this divine web, connecting all beings to the Earth's consciousness.
2. Psychedelic Sacrament of Communion:
The use of psilocybin mushrooms is central to worship and communion with the Divine. Through guided rituals, adherents ingest the mushrooms to enter altered states of consciousness, commune with spiritual entities, receive divine teachings, and achieve personal and communal healing.
3. Cycles of Nature and Spiritual Evolution:
The faith follows a lunar and solar calendar, marking seasonal changes, full moons, and the cycles of growth, decay, and renewal as opportunities for introspection, spiritual cleansing, and rebirth. Each season offers a unique lesson aligned with the wisdom of the mushrooms.
4. Ancestral Wisdom and Healing:
Honoring and seeking wisdom from the ancestors is a core practice. The mushrooms are believed to facilitate communication with ancestors and spirits, providing guidance, healing, and protection to the living.
5. Personal Responsibility and Ecological Stewardship:
Followers are encouraged to live in harmony with the Earth, respecting all forms of life. Sustainable practices, environmental activism, and conservation are considered sacred duties.
