117. Magic Mushrooms, Change Your Life with Amanita Muscaria w/Forager Rael Inshan Pt. 1

In this week’s episode of The Psychedelic Mom podcast, Michaela sits down with Rael Inshan, also known as The Amanita Warrior, who has dedicated his life to teaching the world about Amanita Muscaria—one of the most mysterious and misunderstood mushrooms on the planet. Once a shy, socially awkward, and skeptical atheist, Rael suffered for years from crippling insomnia and depression. After trying everything to find relief, his life changed forever when he stumbled upon a field of Amanita Muscaria. That single encounter set him on a path of deep healing, discipline, and devotion to the teachings of this sacred mushroom. Unlike psilocybin, Amanita Muscaria works through dreams and deep, altered states. Rael believes this mushroom carries ancient wisdom that must be approached with reverence and respect. Michaela brings her own insights and reflections into the conversation, exploring what makes Amanita Muscaria so different from other Earth medicines and why so many are now turning to this mushroom for healing, guidance, and expanded awareness. This is a wild story of healing, surrender, and awakening through one of the most legendary mushrooms on Earth. Look for part two next week for an in-depth guide on how to microdose Amanita safely and how to work with this medicine for long-term transformation.
