It all began with a mushroom.


Merry Christmas to all. Ever wondered what Pine trees, flying reindeer, Santa and his red and white suit have to do with Christmas? There's a very interesting story here, having to do with Siberian Shamans, reindeer, psychoactive mushrooms (fly aminita) and Christmas trees..
