12/21/2012 — WINTER SOLSTICE , PAGAN DRUGS, SANTA IS A MUSHROOM
Winter solstice.. pagan drugs.. seeing ‘santa’.. seeing “elves” .. and reindeer that think they can fly.
Do you ever wonder why santas suit is red and white? candy cane red and white? reindeer FLYING with a RED nose..
It all has to do with the amanita muscaria mushroom… which commonly grows in cold climates underneath CONIFER TREES (also known as christmas trees)… This fungus is known to grow during the winter solstice periods . Reindeer do indeed eat them.. however they are psychedelic (toxic) .
Also.. mario eats them to grow big, or get a new life.. smurfs live in them.. alice in wonderland consults a caterpillar (hallucination) sitting on one of them.. and you’ll see them in stores, at christmas displays usually associated with SEEING ELVES !!
No one ever tells you it is actually a SHAMAN who the legend says brings the mushrooms to you.. eaten to obtain spiritual enlightenment..To be eaten at the winter rituals.
Simply put, Santa is a mushroom.
It goes back a LONG way..
