Amanita Muscaria Spirit

Samhain Online Journey


November 1st to 29th

A four-week autumn journey
into the mysteries of Amanita.

An intimate online circle of folklore, seasonal ritual, dreams, forest wisdom and ancestral memory, gathering at the threshold of Samhain to explore the strange and enduring presence of the red-and-white mushroom in European imagination.
 

A month of story, reflection, ceremony and shared listening.
A space to slow down with the turning of the year.

Enter the mysteries of the forest, and follow the threads
between myth, memory and the unseen.

Enter the season of the threshold.

Four weeks, following the quiet rhythm of the season.

Each Monday, a new thread will arrive in your inbox to carry with you through the week. From there, the journey becomes your own: time to journal, create, wander, dream, tend your seasonal altar and simply notice what begins to emerge.

Then, as the week comes to a close, we gather online, we return to the fire together, bringing our experiences into the circle, listen to one another, and travel a little deeper into the folklore, symbolism and traditions surrounding Fly Agaric.

THE MONDAY LETTER

A letter to start the week.
Each Monday, a new thread is placed in your hands: a piece of Amanita folklore, an old story, a seasonal image, a fragment of history or a question to carry with you.
Read slowly and allow the week's mystery to begin unfolding.

THE INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE

A practice week to make it your own.
Between the letters and our gatherings, you are invited to make your own relationship with Amanita through journaling, dreams, nature, altar-making and simple seasonal rituals.
An invitation to slow down and notice what speaks to you.

THE GATHERING CIRCLE

A circle to come home.
At the weekend, we come together online to share what has moved, surfaced or surprised us during the week.
Through conversation, storytelling and deeper dives into Amanita folklore and traditions, the individual threads begin to weave into a shared story.

A ritual of listening at the threshold — gathering around the ancient stories, forest symbols and mysterious presence of Amanita muscaria, allowing ceremony to become a doorway between the seen and the unseen.

THE FOUR WEEKS

Like a mushroom emerging from the forest fresh soil, our journey begins beneath the surface.

Over four weeks, we'll move through four different layers of experience — grounding into the physical world, following the threads of connection, allowing knowledge to become felt experience, and finally bringing what we've discovered back into the world.

A Journey into the Forest

We have been working with Amanita Muscaria for five years now.
We bring people closer to the medicine of our land, helping them discover the world of mycelium spreading beneath our feet and connect with the threads woven by our ancestors.
It is time to look no further than your own garden—right where the birch trees grow.
 

We are delighted to gather at the threshold of Samhain, guided by Fly Agaric, a time to turn our gaze inward, listen more deeply, and remember the ancestral stories that have remained beneath the surface for generations.

Over the course of four weeks, we will embark on a journey through the mysterious world of Amanita muscaria—not merely as something to be consumed, but as a symbol, a presence, and a gateway to the rich folklore, mythology, and imagery of our forests.

Through stories, seasonal practices, dreams, reflective writing, and online sharing circles, we will explore the strange and beautiful territory surrounding this iconic mushroom: its place in European folklore; its relationship with winter, the forest, the underworld, and the unseen; and the many meanings we humans have woven around it.
 

Samhain offers us a very special invitation. The world grows still. The veil between what we know and what we cannot name seems to grow thinner. It is a time to let go, remember, and make space for what wishes to emerge.
 

For four weeks, we will gather at the edge of the forest.
