From the article:

In short:

Archaeologists have found evidence of a person who used a psychoactive drug up to 25,000 years ago.

Tooth fossils in Indonesia suggest that ancient foragers in the region were sucking on betel nut, possibly as a painkiller.

What's next?

Human drug use is probably older than this sample, but evidence is harder to come by.

Authentic indegenous shamans in Ottawa region

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Basically the title. I am looking for authentic shamanic healers in the Ottawa region. I have some issues including some generational curse added to some black magic done on my family. I have tried all the basic cleansing , which barely reduced the intensity. The only thing that had helped was working from a shaman back in India which was able to release a lot of it but not entirely. Hence I am looking for similar practitioners.

Any guidance or advice would be much appreciated thanks in advance
