peyote rituals

Sacred mescaline rites

Peyote rituals are ceremonial practices centered on consuming peyote, a cactus containing the psychoactive compound mescaline.

Most prominent in the Native American Church, these rituals typically involve prayer, singing, and communal worship through the night, with peyote taken as a sacrament to facilitate spiritual visions and healing.

The peyote ritual lasted from sundown to sunrise.
