Huachuma is sometimes used in conjunction with other sacred plants, such as coca, tobacco, Brugmansia and Anadenanthera.Huachuma is used by Andean shamans for guidance, decision making, healing, spiritual communion, trance, and ecstatic soul flight to access other realms in the three worlds of spirit. Huachuma helps one attain and remain in balance with the natural world.Huachuma CeremonyHuachuma has been used throughout history by many ancient precolumbian civilizations. Huachuma is a shamanic sacrament, a marvelous healing medicine, and a magnificant spiritual teacher which fueled the genersis of Andean civilization. For more than 4,000 years, the Huachuma ceremony has been a continuous tradition in Ecuador and Peru to the present day.Maestro huachumeros claim that much of the knowledge and insightsthey possess comes directly from the plants themselves. Maestro huachumeros are pure animists in believing that all aspects of creation, from the elements to mountains and stones, as well as plants and animals are all living conscious entities, each at their magnitude of existence from infinity to infinity.
