I realize that most people here utilize psychedelics for spiritual and consciousness expanding purposes. I was curious as to how many of you utilize a focused ritual while useing psychedelics, and what that entails. The reason is, with all of the cultures across this planet and shamanic practices varying from culture to culture, I was wondering what different people do to fulfill this purpose. I myself have utilized mandalas prior to a DMT trip to focus my thoughts, as well as music and insense. I have yet to develop a formal ritual to suit a particular purpose, but I am intrigued with what others have done. I have known wiccans whose ritualistic use of DMT as a sacrament, and I would assume that the used elemental symbolism in their works. I'm also familiar with traditional shamanism with ayahuasca involving icaros. So basically, how do you do things when useing a psychedelic for ritualistic purposes?
