RE: El Ambiente Navideño llego a este mágico pueblito. (Árbol navideño gigante iluminado)(English in comment)
I always find it amazing the results of cultural cocktails resulting from waves of cultural genocides and colonial pasts. It's quite fascinating if you trace back the roots of sticking baubles on trees for example. Starting with the Kamchadales and the Koryaks of Siberia indigenous peoples of Siberia hanging their fly agaric mushrooms out to dry on connifer trees in order to go on psychedelic shamanic trips to other dimensions, then passing via various cultural exportations around Europe and then some Christian appropriation of pagan traditions to further their cause, and then via European conquest and colonialism of the South & Central Americas, and with some embellishments along the way you end up today with this fantastic display in El Salvador! It's amazing and marvellous. Thanks for sharing!
Dear kate is amazing this information i did know about this, and right now i know why the red color is the most common in christmas, it is provides from the amanitas that you show it is great color,
I read about this that in mexico some chaman eat this poysonous mushroom amanita and then he urine and give the other members of the tribu his urine for drink and they enjoy alucinogen power procces in the chaman urine.
Maybe it is true but every of normal literatura say that the mayorities amanita are poisonous.

Yes - it's amazing human's history with mushrooms. Some people even believe that they played a role in the emergence of human consciousness!
