____This is as Neopagan movement of Catalonia. The pagan movements are recoup of old religion of Europe before convertion of Christianity. These are Wicca, Neodruidism and Ásatrú. We join Ásatrú and Wicca folk to recoup our land folklore.

____Pyrenees people and peasants know it very well. This is a red mushroom with white points, faery mushroom. the witches and sorcerers has this to see faery folk. Everybody think this are poisonous, but this is false because it is a alkaloid and endogen (In Catalonia We say "Are you badly of ball(As a head, no testicles)?" to say "Are you crazy?", We call Mushroom as Bolet (Little Ball)) . This is obvious, people that it believes of faeries or witchcraft do not thinks this are not hallucinations but astral projection. The subject that we tale in this page are no so that you learn to utilize these mushrooms (beacause it needs a special preparation to have a good effect. A wrong use is danger beacause it can provoke ulcers or a schizophrenia), but we speak about this because you can know the relation about this mushroom with Old Catalan Witchcraft. This practice went from Siberia. There was born a religion which it is called Shamanism and which it had influence the Norse Folk (Norwegians, Swedishs, Finishs), chinese as Taoism (The chineses left these endogen drugs, but its kikung's crafts provokes conscience change as fly agaric, its faith is near shamanism) and American Indians (both religions (siberian and indian) are the best example of shamanism)

This religion had to central character of Shaman (Medecin man) wich he use fly agaric, peyote, ayaguasca, etc. to fly to wight world and so he ask how he can cure a his folk. His god are alway Earth simbols and her might. This religion went from the most old faith, this is Mother Earth's Cult of Neolithic Era. In Catalonia we know little compared to other folk and true faith. But we have Montserrat's Mountain, Puigcerdà (Puig-top highland / Cerd- Ceridwen's Celtic Goddess), Cerdanya, Montsant (Holy mountain), pixies, Barrufet's goblins (Bafomet(Barrufet) went to Cernunno's Celtic God, Aker's Basque God, or Pan's Greek God. These gods are not a demon how Roman Church say, these are a fruitfullness pacific god), Núria Virgin, etc. Church desired to convert all heathens, they used more strategies. because heathens trust some Goddess and Christianity had not female character, they invented Maria's Virgin which she have not importance in Bible. Maria Virgin are in little versicles. Roman Church occupy much Heathen santuaries and they changed pagan idols of Goddess to Virgins. Montserrat's Virgin are black, do you find strange? But If you think the celts represents Dana (Mother Earth) as black colour and in Catalonia there was much celtic folk, and this black virgins are alway where Celts lived, all make sense.

We are not a religion and spiritual movement like Wicca and Ásatrú. We are a group that we would like to work to recover the old pagan Catalonia tradition . I would like to form a group where we can share all information. If situation permites we think to form a group more serious creating a association.

We owe to be a religion or claim it for being a sect, and we are also little people and little economic means. Structure of group are totally horizontal, that is, there are not any leader, any mystic, any theorical, etc. It has not any goberning structure and any ideology. We are against each destructive sects and all form to manipulate. I don't search salvation. There are a position against Messianism inside Paganism, that is, each faith that it say Armageddon or Final of World and I should have something to be salvated. We think the world will finish someday, but it don't depend on wish God, but on evolution of Planet as natural rhythms and future actions of human. We think to be responsible and no in dependence of anything. Some suspicious religions are showing in this age. We think spirituality should be as old pagan, without religious chaste and as individual form. We are individualistic people, but we respect to other people. We have'nt trust in a new religion, but this are the most old religion of Europe. Wicca and Ásatrú are names how we call it at this time. I would like to be sincere. We don't would like to trick nobody.

At this time consum of drugs are a social sickness. Problem of drugs are not itself, but excesses of consum. A lot of medicine that we have are drugs, that is, if a drug used well then It can be right. Many youth is wasting her life having design drugs, heroin and cocaine. This destroys mind and carry to autodestroy. Shamans know what he did when they had drugs and these in their society was right controlate to no damage their folk. Drugs as fly agaric, peyote, ayaguasca, etc. consume only people which is known its danger and is known to extrat its property. They consume only when they think it's necessary. This don't occur in our society because it's been forgotten. This intended to recoup in 60' and 70' in the psychedelic culture, but it carry a wrong sites. Today many heroin drugers was victims of these time. The Culte Reig Bord don't foment to use drugs because many are dangerous and we are not against in other early cultures.
