Abstract

ABSTRACT:This work analyzes the evidence for the usage of visionary mushrooms in the Nor- thern Andes. It begins with an evaluation of the information referring to visionary plants in the pre-Hispanic epoch with particular emphasis on mushroom use. It con- tinues with a detailed study of Darien pendants; these objects provide the most sug- gestive evidence that proposes a ritual use of mushrooms during the pre-Colombian period. It is proposed that this shamanic tradition entered Colombia from Mesoame- rica as part of the exchange of technology and ideas ca. 100-500 d.C.
