Oh god yeah, after attending Anthropology during the Spring of this year, I was fortunate enough to have one of THE BEST instructors for the subject. This instructor unlike many who teach only from textbook, had spent over 18+ years traveling as an anthropologist studying all sorts of different tribes, lands etc. Every week (we would only meet on Saturday from 8AM-3PM) he would show us a new PowerPoint or video clip with actual pictures he took and stories ranging from Voodoo, Ancient Cults, etc. Anyways, he also told us a story of a shaman he spent two weeks within a forest.
The shaman said in order to honor their dead they would have to participate in a practice.
The shaman said that a few of the tribes men died in battle and that they would place their body in a canoe for two weeks (to bake out in the sun). What happens is after a while the body begins to blow up (due to the decay in the body which produces gas and a liquid). After all the decay is complete, it leaves this gooey white substance that the tribe would then take and swallow or ingest.
YEAH I KNOW YUCK, but the thing is the Shaman told him, if you ever want to come back to this land you have to participate in the ritual.. LOLS.. He said he never went back.

Chances are if you saw a peyote shaman, you were on the peyote yourself. And no. If the shaman is an hallucination, then so is everything else.

I'll ask him to teach me his practices and ask him how to shoot arrows and drink from catus plants. The uniqueness of the shaman's experiences will be meaningful and unforgetable.

They aren't called shamans... they are medicine men (english equivalent). And most likely, if he's a true medicine man, he isn't going to want your help.

No there might be law enforcement hiding around the corner. With your rotten luck I'd be careful.

HAHAH. I have nothing to say. -_- I would go and some bizarre things like dance around but that'll just waste my energy and I'll die of dehydration. If he has water, of course then I'll punch him and take his water and walk away with it.
