And did they eat the "flesh of the gods"? Consume this only in Rituals?
Only the ruling class and the clergy were allowed to have a taste

'The Aztecs would drink chocolate and eat the mushrooms with honey. Those partaking in the mushroom ceremonies would fast before ingesting the sacrament. The act of taking mushrooms is known as monanacahuia, meaning to "mushroom oneself" At the very first, mushrooms had been served...They ate no more food; they only drank chocolate during the night. And they ate the mushrooms with honey. When the mushrooms took effect on them, then they danced, then they wept. But some, while still in command of their senses, entered and sat there by the house on their seats; they did no more, but only sat there nodding."

Way better then some tasteless dry cracker with sip of wine.:rolleyes: And some sects actually believe(despite Reality) that both of turn into "the flesh and blood of the lord". Which by way the they sure don't.:rolleyes:

No wonder the Romans persecuted the early Christians, they had good reason to believe that those crazy ass guys were engaging in cannibalism.:eek::eek::eek:

But I digress... Back to the subject on hand...

So Magic Mushrooms have a long and honorable memory eh?
