San Padro Wachuma
is also known as the 'San Pedro' (Saint Peter)
Cactus. To use a Christian metafor, Just as St. Peter
holds the keys to the gates of heaven, this sacred
cactus opens the doors of perception and allows us to
enter the Spirit world, accessing a paradisiacal reality
in communion with the divine.
San PedroWachuma is a powerful catalyst
for healing, meditaiton and self understanding. Just as
Ayahuasca is expereinced as a feminine teacher plant,
the Andian Shaman of Peru view San Pedro Wachuma
as a benovolent Masaculine teacher plant.
Each ceremony with San Pedro Wachuma produces a
gental yet profound shift in consciousness, helping us
to cleanse and heal the wounds of the past while opening
us to a more heart centered and conscious way of being.
