Psilocybin Mushrooms
Whispers of the Otherworld — Myth, Mushroom & the Memory of the Land
- Whispers of the Otherworld
Ireland is a land steeped in story — a place where the veil between worlds is worn thin by time, by reverence, and by the footfall of those who remembered how to listen.
Long before science named these fungi Psilocybe semilanceata, the people of this land lived in relationship with the seen and unseen. The Liberty Cap, small and unassuming, was known by many names — pookies, fairy caps, and in some whispers, the flesh of the sídhe, referencing the Tuatha Dé Danann — the ancient ones said to dwell in the mounds and the mist.
To eat of the mushroom was not for pleasure or escape — it was to walk between worlds, to seek guidance from the ancestors, and to listen for truths hidden in silence. These were not casual journeys. They were acts of remembrance, of ritual, of rite.
- The Lineage We Hold
Our work with the mushroom is rooted in this lineage — not as a novelty, not as a performance, but as a reclamation of an ancient dialogue with the spirit of nature. We do not “take” the medicine. We meet it.
We gather around the fire just as our ancestors did — to speak to the land, to listen to the stones, and to honour the knowing that lives below the surface of modern life. Through this ceremony, we honour:
- The Tuatha Dé Danann, keepers of ancient wisdom
- The banshee, who keens for what must be grieved
- The fairy rings, where time bends and truth is told
- The great mycelial web that remembers everything
The mushroom opens us not just to personal healing, but to a deeper mythic remembering — of who we are, who we come from, and what this land is still trying to teach us.
This is ceremony as it was meant to be: rooted, reverent, and real.
- Microdosing with Mushrooms
Beyond ceremony, mushrooms also offer their wisdom in subtle, daily ways.
Microdosing is the practice of working with very small amounts of mushroom medicine — not to journey, but to open. It supports clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and presence.
At Phoenix Healing, our microdosing guidance is always paired with integration support. This includes:
- Tailored microdosing protocols
- Workbooks for daily reflection and growth
- Access to the Phoenix Pathways community for shared support
One-to-one guidance to anchor the experience into life
- Safety & Integrity
Mushrooms are profound teachers. Whether in ceremony or microdosing, they require respect, preparation, and intention. At Phoenix Healing, we hold mushroom work with integrity, offering safe containers where the medicine can truly be met.
