| | Peyote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | When combined with appropriate set and setting, peyote is reported to trigger states of deep introspection and insight that have been described as being of a metaphysical or spiritual nature. | | | The Native American Church is one among several religious organizations that use peyote as part of their religious practice. | | | In the late 1800s the tradition began to spread northward as part of a revival of native spirituality under the auspices of what came to be known as the Native American Church, whose members refer to peyote as "the medicine", and use it to combat alcoholism and other social ills. |

| | A Brief History of Peyote |
| | Peyote is considered sacred by native Americans, a divine "messenger" enabling the individual to communicate with God without the medium of a priest. | | | The factors responsible for the rapid growth and tenacity of the Peyote religion in the United States are many and interrelated. | | | They found Peyote firmly established in native religions, and their efforts to stamp out this practice drove it into hiding in the hills, where its sacramental use has persisted to the present time. |

| | The contrasting peyote ceremony consists of a prayer meeting in which peyote is ingested under the leadership of the leader or road man while utilizing singing, drumming, and prayers in the time from of dusk to dawn. | | | Peyote religion is what saved the Osage tribe from moral corruption, "Peyote induced a beautiful state and behavior of adherents was as different from that of whisky drinkers on a spree as that of peaceful sheep and rampant lions" (Stewart, 1987). | | | The peyote ceremony which was originally introduced to the American Plains Indians consisted of a formal, all night prayer meeting typically held in a teepee, hogan or peyote house especially selected for the purpose of peyote ritual. |

| | Tobacco and peyote are probably the most famous of these, and especially peyote, where it induced incredible visions and was the basis of a whole nativistic tradition and religion. | | | Understanding the role of peyote in their culture reveals many of the underlying beliefs and values that they hold and use to establish an identity for themselves. | | | Peyote appears to have had a very beneficial effect on most native groups creating a strong bond, strengthening native religion and tradition within individual peyote cult members, and creating a strong inter-tribal unity. |

| | The peyote ceremony which was introduced to the American Plains Indians is a formalized, all-night prayer meeting, usually held in a tepee, hogan, or peyote house especially set aside for that purpose. | | | In the mid 1800's, simultaneous with native genocide, the peyote religion spread north, arriving at a time when indigenous people were badly in need of spiritual uplifting and cultural strength. | | | The Cora and Tarahumara are related groups of people who use peyote in religious ceremony. |

| | Which means that, for him at least, the peyote cult is a kind of ritual of escapist intoxication, with any seemingly divine and sacred visions being no more that flights of fancy induced by a toxic alkaloid with no real place in the human brain. | | | The shamanic view also holds that entheogenic plants like the peyote can put one in direct communion with this most sacred aspect of Nature and that it is from such a transcendental communion that sublime knowledge can be obtained and be given over for the good of the community. | | | In fact, it becomes clear in reading La Barre that he is not wholly sympathetic the native use of peyote, or at least he is not of the opinion that peyote grants any kind of important spiritual insight. |

| | Peyote was first described by western man in 1560 but it was not until the nineteenth century that any plants reached the Old World for scientific study. | | | The actual source and meaning of the word "peiotl" is disputed and at least three theories have been proposed to explain its etymology. | | | Indians could easily see many "divine" actions resulting from ingestion of the seeds of Rivea and it is not difficult to understand why they and others may have confused it with peyote, another "divine" plant. |

| | Use of Peyote by Native Americans |
| | Everyone can eat peyote and participate in the rituals (in fact everyone is expected to play some part in the ritual hunt to procure peyote) but only the mara’akame’s experiences under the influence of peyote are considered to have any spiritual or religious meaning. | | | Notice that the issue of tradition is not the basis of the decision, but rather it is based upon the antiquity of the religion in general and the intentions of the practitioners. | | | It is my own suspicion that peyote religion may have adopted the Christian elements for the sake of survival, much in the same way that African religions did when they created Voodoo and Santeria under the conditions of Caribbean slavery. |
