I have been going to Santo Daime rituals over the last two years and can relate easily to a lot of what you've experienced. The cynical, angry trades in me have more than once surfaced in the rituals. To hear you name Eric Cartman and Napalm Death makes it even easier to relate to you. If ever you get to The Hague, the Netherlands, drop a line and we'll have a foul tasting drink together :D All the best! That was such a fun read!

Would definitely be interested in doing so, though. No idea about the "spammy" thing. I think the WordPress spam filters are pretty strict, which I guess is ultimately a good thing.

Noticed it was published in 2008, guess you never went back? Did you know that there are Santo Daime churches all over the world (mostly underground and hard to find unless you know someone) and that in your homeland of the UK, the leaders of the Santo Daime churches have been arrested and are facing prison? PS Why when I try to post this do I get a response that my comment "seems a bit spammy"? No one has ever told me that before! Very entertaining account.

Can’t be arsed, so here’s a summary in haiku form, because I’m a freshly-minted hippy:

Singing and dancing
Foul-tasting drink, aching legs
Much calmness next day

Sure beats bumming about the usual tourist places<br /><br />Brilliantly written too. And you still managed to get laugh-out-loud lines like this in:<br />"He couldn't carry a tune if it had a handle." <br />hahaha Wow what an amazing sounding experience.

Brilliantly written too. And you still managed to get laugh-out-loud lines like this in:
“He couldn’t carry a tune if it had a handle.”

Never heard of the ceremony, but fascinated to hear your experiences of it. What a great and gripping read. Never heard of the ceremony, but fascinated to hear your experiences of it.

Just being a little more openminded and patient will probably make the experience still a little more worthwhile. It doesn't matter how things work, really: if this does something positive to people and it's acted out in love, I guess it's worth the experience.<br />I enjoyed reading this.

I have a couple of friends who are really into Daime and I have read many stories of experiences, but always of people who bought the whole thing. Being too rational myself, I've always raised me eyebrows to it. So thank you for giving me another perspective on the subject.<br />Cris Wow, it was great reading this!
