Reishi Mushroom (Ling Zhi, Ganoderma Lucidum) is ShamanShack's 'Emperor herb', and though we are just hearing about it in the West, it has a long and illustrious history in the far-East. The Chinese have known of its powerful spirit-liberating properties since 2975 B.C., when the first official Chinese herbal pharmacoepia was written. The ruling elite and philosophers of ancient China highly revered Reishi and it is said illuminaries such as Lao Tzu, Confucius, and many other lesser-known Rulers in Ancient China consumed it daily.

Reishi is depicted in ancient scroll paintings as a 'bridge between Earth and Heaven'. The elite of the Classical Golden Ages of China, which lasted from approx 3000 B.C. until 1911 A.D. apparently kept knowledge of the benefits of Reishi to themselves, and during the cultural revolution Mao Tze Tung had Reishi removed from the Chinese Pharmacoepia (no doubt due to its well known empowering potential). Reishi's many beneficial effects on health are only now being recognized in the West, and may well be the world's best-kept secret.

Reishi, and other 'advanced fungals' are thought to be extra-terrestrial. That is, they are thought by mycologists to have originated in other solar systems. We at shaman Shack believe the mycelial mass of these mushrooms may represent the activating principle of consciousness on earth. Our neurological systems are very similar to fungal mycelia, and it is possible they hold agents which may further activate our awareness of higher consciousness. Our founder Rehmannia believes this is why Reishi is 'finding us' at this time, in order to help fascilitate our pending leap into a more spiritually oriented species.

In 1999 Rehmannia discovered that Reishi taken in relatively high amounts, can liberate one of 'Psychic baggage', in the form of anger, anxiety, fear, volitility, anxiousness, ego-driven desire etc. One week after taking Reishi, Rehmannia awoke to find the light in the room more vibrant and full of saturated color. Things had a halo around them. His life began abruptly to change for the better. A 'benevolent cycle of spiritual health' began to manifest, and he permanently removed many undesirable aspects of his previous personality. Rehmannia is possibly the first Westerner to fully recognize Reishi's full spiritual potential, as no extensive literature appears to exist on this mushroom's miraculous spirit liberating properties. Even Rehmannia's teacher Master Teeguarden does not elaborate on Reishi's spirit-liberating qualities in his books. Rehmannia has written a new book (now being edited) which will be the first to fully expound on Reishi as a spiritually uplifting, Karma cleansing herb, and its potential role in positively activating our collective future evolution.

It is Reishi's time to shine! Rehmannia feels this sacred herb finds you when you're ready. Are you ready to come into ShamanShack and move to the next level in your spiritual evolution?
