Teonanácatl is a Nahuatl term meaning “flesh of the gods” or “sacred mushroom,” used by the Aztecs to describe psychoactive mushrooms, primarily Psilocybe mexicana, which have been utilized for over 2,000 years in Mexican indigenous rituals. These mushrooms contain psilocybin and are historically and culturally significant, often consumed in sacred velada ceremonies to converse with spirits or for healing.

Key Aspects of Teonanácatl:

Etymology: Derived from Nahuatl teotl (god/sacred) + nanacatl (mushroom/flesh).
History: The 16th-century Florentine Codex mentions their use by natives in festivals and religious ceremonies, which the Spanish Inquisition deemed blasphemous.
Cultural Significance: Aztec god Xochipilli is depicted surrounded by sacred plants, including mushrooms.
Usage: Traditionally used in Oaxaca, Mexico, by healers (curanderos) in nocturnal ceremonies called veladas to treat illnesses.
