I’ve not heard many or probably any story about people becoming extremely aggressive or go berserk on mushrooms. I believe it was probably Henbane. They used it as flavoring for mead and other things. Maybe in shamanistic rituals as well.
Christmas, the Scandinavian way, is the story of birth of Christ kind of fused together with the pagan Yule tradition...However both deal with the winter solsticegzregorz wrote:!
I even heard some theories that mushrooms gave us Christmas. I haven't researched the topic and haven't been that interested in the subject but perhaps someone hear knows more about this Scandinavian tradition. FWIW I heard this on Joe Rogan which I am not a big fan of but I will listen to for entertainment purposes from time to time yet it could all be total rubbish.
