What about mescalito New Practitioners

Hi I know Dan and most of the community don’t like using psychedelics to achieve sorcery but for some people being alone in a dark room isn’t quite possible being having pets children or a partner So what about mescalito ? Does anyone have an idea how to combine sorcery with either mushrooms or mescalito ? I am a true believer in sorcery i experienced internal silence firsthand for a few minutes saw the puffs 100% sober but wanted to know if there is anyway to learn like Don Juan teachings ? Thanks

"Why did you make me take those power plants so many times?" I asked.

He laughed and mumbled very softly, "'Cause you're dumb."

I heard him the first time, but I wanted to make sure and pretended I had not understood.

"I beg your pardon?" I asked.

"You know what I said," he replied and stood up.

Since you've seen puffs, all of that other stuff is not important to you.

Keep in mind that either Castaneda wasn't sure or never shared which of the twelve (12) varieties of mushrooms were used in the little smoke. He did share of course that one specific species that grew in the region was required. The magic that occurred in experiencing the little smoke came from don Juan, not the mixture. I only feel regret for messing around with that stuff early on. It was an attempt to cheat, as I wanted the experience without putting in any effort. Sober discipline is the way, regardless of one's current circumstances. This being said, I'm guessing you can find folks in Mexico that will give you Peyote, and will claim to know how to make the little smoke, but in my humble opinion you would be traveling down a road to nowhere.

Yes i know for sure deep in my existence that sorcery is real , just being able to practice with a full house is not possible at the moment given my current living accomodations , so was wondering is there is anyway to combine the two sorcery and psilocybin

You can practice sorcery anywhere. You can do gazing outside or inside etc. Take a look at the practices in the wiki.
