Hey everybody! Episode 173 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Rael Inshan. Rael is an interesting guy who specializes in the amanita muscaria mushroom. I was really happy to have him on to speak about this sacred medicine as its not a topic I have covered much. We spoke about his difficult childhood and how that led him to South America to work with different indigenous medicine traditions. This eventually led him to discover the amanita muscaria mushroom in the woods near him and to begin working with it and to learn, firsthand, it’s benefits. He speaks about the wisdom it has taught him about it’s medicine on the individual level as well as the collective and a vision of a new earth that he feels the mushroom is guiding us towards.

“Rael Inshaan is a consciousness educator, mushroom forager, and founder of Amanita Warriors—a microdosing company focused on the therapeutic use of Amanita Muscaria. After a difficult upbringing, chronic health issues, and decades of insomnia, Rael turned to psychedelics in search of healing. What followed was a years-long journey of exploration, including more than 1,200 plant medicine ceremonies.His turning point came with Amanita Muscaria—a legal mushroom that helped restore his sleep, support his nervous system, and shift his day-to-day experience of life. Drawing from years of personal experience and a deep shamanic background, Rael now helps others understand the safe use of this often-misunderstood substance and its potential role in emotional health and spiritual wellbeing.Rael speaks to audiences to help overcome trauma, addictions, or psychiatric medication withdrawal, as well as those exploring spiritual paths to wellness. His lived experience makes him relatable to spiritual seekers, skeptics, and anyone questioning mainstream approaches to health and healing.He also brings a unique perspective on faith. Though he explored many spiritual traditions, his journey ultimately led him to Christianity—a shift shaped by years of deep personal searching. He now speaks openly about the concept of spiritual resistance, the role of faith in recovery, and how to cultivate a more conscious, grounded life.Rael is the author of the newly published book The Journey of the Eternal Warrior: Part One – The Beautiful Vision of God’s New Earth, where he shares his personal story and reflections on faith, healing, and spiritual transformation.”
