The god's body has carved flowers including <i>coaxihuitl</i> (<i>Turbina corymbosa</i>), source of <i>ololiuhqui</i> seeds. It is possible to observe rosettes of the sectioned caps of the mushrooms called <i>xochinanacatl</i> or &quot;flower mushrooms&quot; in Nahuatl, probably <i>Psilocybe aztecorum</i>. The face of <i>Xochipilli</i> is contorted as if seeing visions in ecstasy, and the head is tilted as if hearing voices (R.G. Wasson).</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/">Stregoika</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/Stregoika/photo/2123907 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:04:48 GMT
