Beyond their spiritual and introspective benefits, Aztec God magic mushrooms have also shown promise in the field of mental health. Research suggests that psilocybin-assisted therapy may help individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. The profound experiences facilitated by these mushrooms can assist in breaking negative thought patterns, promoting emotional healing, and fostering a sense of well-being.

While pre-colonial civilizations most definitely did not use the strain sold as Aztec God today, the name is fitting due to the notable hallucinogenic profile of this Psilocybe cubensis strain (average for Psilocybe cubensis). We can’t promise you’ll come face to face with some form of ancient Aztec entity when taking these shrooms — but we can’t promise you won’t either. Aztec God magic mushrooms have long been associated with spiritual awakening and self-discovery. Many individuals describe a deepening of their spiritual connection, a dissolution of ego boundaries, and a heightened sense of empathy and compassion. These experiences can provide insights, introspection, and a fresh perspective on life, allowing for personal growth and a greater understanding of oneself and the universe.

Although their origins are murky and widely contested, these cubes originate in Central America and Southern Mexico. Magic mushrooms were used by many prehistoric cultures in Central America for religious and spiritual purposes. The ancient mushrooms these societies ate were probably from a completely different species, either Psilocybe aztecorum or Psilocybe caerulescens. The strain known as Aztec God today gained its illustrious moniker. These mushrooms are reported to have higher psilocybin concentrations than psilocin concentrations. These alkaloids, together with a related substance called baeocystin, are the main psychoactive components in all species of magic mushrooms. The potency of the Aztec God strain is average, with 0.50–0.70% psilocybin and 0.10–0.20% psilocin (0.60%–0.90% total tryptamines).
