Blue and Tawny Colors of Lockbox Bins Indicates Cubensis

“Blue and Tawny Colors of Lockbox Bins Indicates Cubensis” is a realization around 6:30 a.m. March 17, 2023 in the midst of composing & reviewing these two posts — this and previous post, ie:
Live Reenactment of Julie Brown’s “I Held the Photograph Up to the Light” — Color Version! 

Blue Color Always Is Proof of Psilocybin 😑 🍄 ✅

I MISTAKENLY didn’t place ANY weight on blue color, when I announced a month ago that radical, unthinkable interpretation of {blue krater} as for the purpose of [collecting Cubensis]; because I overreacted against Ruck & Rush relying too much on red & white.

Yes, I only just now [this morning, ~6am Mar 17 2023] thought of f134’s dispensary bins as blue and tawny, but, I identified the blue krater 1-2 months ago, as for collecting Cubensis harvest — happens to be blue BUT I tried to not at all make any significance of the blue color; I made a point of not basing my arg at all on blue color.

I ERRED IN DISMISSING THE BLUE COLOR as having any possible significance, when I announced that I was able to see by E.S.P. what’s in the blue krater.

Strange that I didn’t at that time close the circle and start asserting that the grain dispensary bin is Cubensis.

How the fck did I nail blue krater as being for Cubensis in f134, yet FAIL to say THEREFORE ALSO the grain dispensary bins TOO *must be* Cubensis, for consistency? MY CLAIM ABOUT BLUE KRATER BEING FOR CUBENSIS WAS IRRATIONAL GIVEN THAT I FAILED TO ALSO IN CONJUNCTION ASSERT — AND OPEN MY EYES AND SIMPLY LOOK — that the grain bin bucket dispensary MUST also therefore, for consistency, be interpreted NOT as grain, but as Cubensis.

My announcement of seeing inside blue krater: Feb. 1, 2023; 2.5 months ago:
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/01/art-showing-standing-on-right-leg-mytheme-motif-gallery/#Blue-Krater-Harvest

Feb. 14, 2023: Improved the left/right cutoff of the image crop:
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/14/idea-development-page-18/#oxen-harvest-crop

But even after improving the image crop to show the full harvest sequence, I still FAILED to EXTEND the idea; WHY DID I TREAT BLUE KRATER IN ISOLATION FROM GRAIN BIN & BUCKET ROW 2 RIGHT???

Doesn’t make any sense! Why didn’t I fkking LOOK at the grain bin? BLIND!

I am as blind as Marcia Kupfer, who wrongly (mis-thinks Brown) sees “youths intrees cutting branches“, when, in reality (according to Beginner-Level Brown), “theres mushrooms”.

Browns’ Deep Analysis: There’s Mushrooms.

There’s mushrooms.

Browns’ analysis to BTFO Kupfer’s “youths in trees cutting branches”

crap, THERE’S NOTHING THERE (at my two links above); YA DIDN’T THINK IT THROUGH, STUPID PAST-ME!

Valentines’ Day, I improved the crop, in Idea Dev p 18.

But again, YA DIDN’T THINK IT THROUGH.

You CANNOT say “blue krater collects Cubensis” without ALSO saying “THEREFORE ALSO THE GRAIN BINS MUST BE CUBENSIS.” OBVIOUSLY.

It should INSTANTLY be clear, that:

TO ASSERT THAT BLUE KRATER = CUBENSIS IS TO ASSERT GRAIN BIN & BUCKET = CUBENSIS TOO (of course, OBVIOUSLY!)

How did Dumb Past-Me think “blue krater” without ALSO instantly thinking “[BLUE!!!] grain bin & bucket”??? STUPID!

I remember my headspace: you can see that in my first post of the two, I was in the midst of creating page listing many images of Stand Right Foot, and Brown and I discussed Eadwine Leper image:

I was busy defending this: Jesus is standing on left leg because he’s taking on the impurity and uncleanness and disease of the leper.

and so this is often my defense for blindness, eg Lorenzetti’s Entry into Jerusalem:

WHAT THE HELL IS BROKEN WITH MY MIND THAT I DIDN’T INSTANTLY SEE the {heimarmene stars gate}, which is ONE OF MY MAIN MYTHEMES?

Answer: Where’s Waldo? ie, that image has too much going on that I was busy analyzing, and, specifically, what I learned from that failure was, PAY WAY MORE ATTENTION TO the {gate} mytheme/motif.

So I can tell you: I didn’t think it through, because busy on other stuff, juggling.

“Why didn’t you see that thing go by, when you were juggling?”

Score: Dumb Past-Me 0, Evil Future Me 1

tho it’s hard to condemn Dumb Past Me for first baby step 🤷‍♂️ – most ppl don’t have the guts to think of blue krater to collect msh. OTOH, my proposal felt long-shot unlikely, BECAUSE I became in a state of self-contradiction: I was in effect then claiming that:

1. Blue krater = collect cubensis AND
2. Grain bin & bucket, dumb guy excited; the image is to mock him for being excited about stupid grain; simpleton.

Row 2 right shows a simpleton happy to get grain.

WHAT A SIMPLETON he is, BLIND TO HIGHER THINGS

WE WISE PEOPLE KNOW TO AVOID LOOKING AT DUMB GRAIN AND TURN/AIM OUR EYES ELSEWHERE, AT THE GOOD, MUSHROID PARTS OF THIS IMAGE, NOT AT THE GRAIN BINS AND BUCKET WHERE THE DOLT IS HAPPY TO BE

🤦‍♂️

I QUIT. THIS ART DECODING IS TOO HUMILIATING.

SCORE: DUMB PAST-ME 1 POINT, EVIL FUTURE-ME 10 POINTS

I Fell into the Pit of the Fatal Premise of “Mixed Themes” of OSC+ASC

of Inconsistent Mixture of Mundane and Peak Psilocybin in Same Image – Do not do that! STOP DOING THAT, IDIOT.

Like Max Freakout pointed out inconsistency to Kafei: who held “Jesus was a mundane person AND his life HAPPENS to match mystical analogies”

“This Scene Is Motivated by Grain Cultivation AND a Separate Side Interest Dabbling in Mushroom” – WRONG ANSWER, FAIL 💥😵

To Increase a Radical Position, Be Consistently Radical

not sure if made this point thought of few minutes ago: (I “felt” this point then): find “self contradiction” here. I started to say:

State 1: Jan 31, 2023: Dumb Past Me holds:
The blue krater is grain.
AND
The grain bins and grain bucket is grain.
CONSISTENCY: YES.

State 2: Feb 1 & 14, 2023: Half-wit (“Jesus led a mushroom cult; I is smart“) Dumb Past Me holds:
The blue krater is to collect Cubensis.
AND
The grain bins and grain bucket is grain.
CONSISTENCY: NO — clever bold aggressive assertion, but, now you just broke consistency, without even even thinking about it, because you failed to think about the branching ramifications.

And that is how I felt: Bold, hyper assertive, but not consistent; not supported well at all.

State 3: March 17, 2023: Evil Future Me (this morning) smartly realizes:
The blue krater is to collect Cubensis.
AND
The grain bins and bucket are to distribute Cubensis. WINNER!!! 🎉 🏆 👑 🎶
CONSISTENCY: YES; it is actually STRENGTHENED, a lot!!

🎉 🏆 👑 🎶

Looks like a Letcher-Hatsis hit job. Do we need to lengthen Mike’s joke? Letcher-Hatsis-Bennett?!

https://cyberdisciple.wordpress.com

The “Letcher Hatsis” Joke

The joke:

There’s a single guy named Letcher-Hatsis, uses same bunk arg’n, as Deniers of mushroom imagery in Christian art.

That guy’s name, now, is:
Panofsky-Wasson-Letcher-Hatsis-Bennett-Huggins-Mosurinjohn-Ascough-Greer

Michael Hoffman reply, Feb. 16, 2026

The poor scholar whose last name is

Panofsky-Wasson-Letcher-Hatsis-Bennett-Huggins-Mosurinjohn-Ascough-Greer

Deniers of mushroom imagery in Christian art.I read this Cyberdisciple email today  Feb. 16, 2026 

Deniers of mushroom imagery in Christian art:

* Erwin Panofsky 1952

* Gordon . . . . Wasson 1968

* Andy Letcher 2006

* Thomas Hatsis 2013

* Chris Bennett 2020

* Ronald Huggins 2022

* Sharday Mosurinjohn 2025

* Richard Ascough 2025

* Christian Greer 2025 maybe

____________________

Thomas Hatsis denies mushroom imagery in Christian art, despite his pushing for psychedelics in Western religious history. 

Bennett:

“Finding mushroom imagery is TOO HARD You should be weak like me and only look for Easy-Mode, Cannabis evidence.”

Mosurinjohn & Ascough: You entheogen scholars are pathetic and illeigitmate, deseving of fullest disrespect.  

“Finding mushroom imagery is impossible, because in fact there is none.  You should ignore Western history and only look for Easy-Mode, Indigenous Shams; they have had mushroom wisdom[sic] for millennia.”

Who wrote the stupid wrong vague anti-Western phrase “mushroom wisdom”?  actual:

Henry Winslow’s awful post:

https://egodeaththeory.org/2026/01/26/the-egodeath-theory-corroborates-carl-rucks-psychedelic-mysteries-paradigm/#debunking-the-psychedelic-theory-of-the-eleusinian-mysteries-winslow-aug.-2025

Pop writer Winslow wrote:

“Researchers from Queen’s University think not.
[not “no evidence”; they think DEFINITELY NOT psychedelics in mystery religions – why? they slip from “possibly not” to “= definitely not”, exactly as they make a stink about Ruck doing, in the positive direction. -mh]

“So they just dropped a thorough takedown of the whole theory

[ultra vague, non-scholarly, untestable, undefined assertion -mh]

in the journal Psychedelic Medicine. 

“Drs. Sharday Mosurinjohn (whom I interviewed in April) and Richard Ascough systematically dismantle

[ultra vague, non-scholarly, untestable, undefined assertion -mh]
what they call “the psychedelic mysteries hypothesis[sic, PARADIGM],” 

pointing out there’s zero archaeological [RESTRICTIVE QUALIFIER] evidence for psychedelics at Eleusis [RESTRICTIVE QUALIFIER].  

[dirty rhet arg’n strategy: only accept 1 type of evidence: whatever type of evidence your side (Deniers of mushroom imagery in Christian art) has destroyed (washed out  these particular cups), and is minimal.]

“They say proponents are presenting speculation as fact, and the entire narrative is built on shaky foundations and circular reasoning.

Hypocrites Mosurinjohn & Ascough 

present their speculation (maybe no psychedelics in mystery religions, since the only type of evidence that that counts is the dirt that we Deniers washed away, and by that arb. definition, “THERE IS NO EVIDENCE. “)

as if fact (We showed that there’s definitely no psychedelics in mystery religions; DEBUNKED ROGAN. & Muraresku. & ruck)

“So why does the myth persist?”

[the above presenting of negative speculation as negative fact by Mosurinjohn & Ascough has now MAGICALLY become factual, so that we can say confidently with a con-artist’s tone of finality, “the myth of psychedelics in mystery religions”.]

“The authors [Mosurinjohn & Ascough] argue it’s about legitimacy.

[ie, YOU ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARS ARE ILLEGIT & PATHETIC & discredited and invalidated – like Wasson p. 180 SOMA smearing blundering “mycologists” ie Affirmers of mushroom imagery in Christian art eg John Ramsbottom.

Ramsb. more than effectively retaliated, by re-printing his new book just to add:

“We are committed skeptics, not interested in truth re: mushroom imagery in Christian art.”

– signed, Popebanker Wasson, privately to the top myc’ist, J Rams.  

As Jan Irvin figured in conversation w/ me in 2006, it took Wasson decades to figure out that he’d been, for years, DESTROYED & EXPOSED as a committed liar, by the top myc’ist, Ramsbottom.]

Winslow con’t:

“People want to believe there’s a ‘respectable’ Western pedigree for psychedelics with our European ancestors. 

[ie YOU ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARS LACK A RESPECTABLE PEDIGREE]

[now wheel-out the weaponized Indigenous Shams:]

“Never mind that there are plenty of Indigenous lineages around the world that have preserved psychedelic wisdom[sic, folly] for millennia. 

“If we need history’s stamp of approval to justify research and policy reform today (we don’t), surely that’s enough.”

The Dust-up over Psychedelic “Lineage”

I am my own authentic lineage, so am above all this.

There’s a huge stinck stink & controversy(s) now about “LINEAGE”.  

The concern, making “lineage” your (weak) foundation, is funny to me, because I myself am an (ahistorical?) religious founder figure.

Not actual-me is the founding figure, but rather, the Mythic Michael Hoffman, never existed, he was nothing but a s3x-cult, disgusting Fly Agaric fungus.  

“Therefore Christianity sucks” – that’s the John Allegro/ Carl Ruck/ Terence McKenna/ John Rush, driving-mission, achieved, by abusing entheogen scholarship to accomplish.

Tail wag dog: abuse of the field of entheogen scholarship, for the purpose of smearing the big bad church and permanently reify Prohibition.  

The evil Church is so bad, don’t even THINK of trying to repeal Psilo Prohibition.

Gosso Camilla Cite Egodeath.com

email from Michael Hoffman to Cyberdisciple cc’d Max & Brown: p.m. Feb. 16, 2026 –

Cyberdisciple,

Forgot about this

[Cyberdisciple attached photo of Alluciongenic e Christianemimo book p. 90, which has a garbled citation of Egodeath.com by M. Hoffman]

I have one of the Gosso/Camilla books… I have that book; p. 90, thx. 

No one cites the Egodeath theory, except 10 publications I know of, or 20…

I am looking for Nov 2020 email from you giving the wrong type of url for Great Canterbury Psalter i guess, lacking .zoom suffix??

Omit .zoom suffix, get ugly, dark, dingy color palette.  per my first batch of crops Nov. 2020.

In What Year Did the Great Canterbury Psalter Go Online?

I found some history recently toward an answer.  

Helping my discovery, my timing is good, except I had to take hiatus, for engineering univ. courses, Jan 2008 – Sep 2011.

John Lash uploaded Eadwine’s leg-hanging mushroom tree image in the Great Canterbury Psalter around 2008; 

after his 2006 book 1st Edition, he did vigorous research travelling like Browns to the Great Canterbury Psalter, uploaded in 2008 the article THE DISCOVERY OF A LIFETIME

Paul Lindgren is the ACTUAL discoverer of mushroom imagery in Christian art in Great Canterbury Psalter around 1999; 

check w/ Ruck & M. Hoffman who talked w/ him.  

Lindgren is credited twice in Conjuring Eden: Art and the Entheogenic Vision of Paradise

 (Hoffman, Ruck & Staples, Entheos 1, 2001), 

https://entheomedia.net/Issue%20one.htm, https://egodeaththeory.org/2020/12/24/entheos-issues-1-4-mark-hoffman/#Entheos-Issue-1.

to my surprise, Ronald Huggins oct 2025 article about Plaincourault fresco DOES cite “Conjuring Eden”.  The Deniers’ ignorance is now slightly less than zero.  

Also cites my Wasson and Allegro on the Tree of Knowledge as Amanita (Hoffman, 2006), http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm.

Huggins again fails to cite Entheogens in Christian art: Wasson, Allegro, and the Psychedelic Gospels (Jerry Brown & Julie Brown, 2019) https://doi.org/10.1556/2054.2019.019 

He throws about the Panofsky & Brinc citations like they are his private weapon that only Huggins gets to use.

Jan Irvin is not allowed to access the (damn) DRAWER (cited by Huggies) at Harvard instead of arming ALL scholars by citing Browns 2019.

Huggins fails to cite The mushroom-tree of Plaincourault (Giorgio Samorini, 1997) https://www.samorini.it/doc1/sam/sam%20plaincourault.pdf – though the direct predecessor of Huggins 2025 article.

What year Great Canterbury Psalter got bright not dingy color palette?

Before a couple days ago, I assumed that the entire library site in Nov. 2020 had dingy dark palette, then they saw my site and fixed to a bright color palette in their entire site.

Not the case.

See my dark, early crops, bet they omit .zoom from suffix.

– M. Hoffman

Confirmed: Original URL from Cyberdisciple Lacks .zoom Suffix, so, Dark Color Palette

On Nov. 17, 2020, Cyberdisciple emailed Michael Hoffman & Max Freakout a URL for Great Canterbury Psalter – but, omitted the .zoom prefix, so, ugly dingy color palette.

So I don’t know when or why the library fixed the bad palette.  

I accidentally a couple years after, when I resumed Great Canterbury Psalter, I used — on mobile — urls that have the .zoom suffix, = bright color palette.

The link Cyberdisciple sent:
https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f134.item – dark, dingy

Add .zoom suffix: 
https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f134.item.zoom – bright

email to Cyberdisciple & Brown 4:10 p.m. Feb. 16, 2026

Definitely Julie’s photos are clearer for me.  

eg: the guy behind Christ making IY hand-shape, his thumb now looks normal length, not double-length.

Bad Resolution Can Throw Off Interpretation

In Nov 2020 I learned a huge lesson that Browns assert: importance of clear images.  

John Rush f134 row 1 left 2/5 (Eadwine’s leg-hanging mushroom tree image in the Great Canterbury Psalter), fist appears to point.

Fist does NOT point.  

Compression artifacts make him appear to point.

I had to redo my interp w/ higher res (though too-dark palette initially, because the Great Canterbury Psalter URL lacked .zoom suffix).

John Rush Crazy Id’n of 4 plants in Day 3

todo : image:

f11: Day 3: Creation of Plants, with Lines and Annotations

Ronald Huggins 2025 Oct hammers on John Rush’s overambitious gallery, too, re: the easy whipping boy who we all criticized: 

John Rush, record-holder for blurriest images and most dubious claims about them — if you can even follow what Rush is asserting.  Self parody. 

I recently found on my drive, precious PDF backup from late Rush’s Website: Rush says about Day 3’s 4 plants, poorly specified ID’n.
CH1-ALLPLATES.pdf (also: CH3- ALLPLATES.pdf)

My sensible Dec. 2020 ID’n for 4 mushroom types in Day 3, comes after at least 3 previous, pretty far off or vague attempts to ID the 4 mushroom-plants.

• Arthur 2000: tries to make a 5-plant SOMA recipe.
• Rush 2011.
• Brown 2016 and/or 2019.
• Michael Hoffman Dec. 2020 – the first sensible, non-garbled, specific, useful list of ID’ns.

something huge to notice: the bias against psilocybin: in Rush’s accounting,

• only 1 of 4 plants is psilocybin.
• 2 of 4 (!) are kiddie Amanita.
• 1 of 4 isn’t even a mushroom (opium).

In my accounting, 3 of 4 plants are psilocybin.

Rush wrote – garbled order like all entheogen scholars write. 

After proper sort, the 4 plants are ID’d by Rush as:

1. Opium poppy.
2. Amanita. YAY, KIDDIE AMANITA!
3. A Psilocybin species. (bore-ing, who cares)
4. Amanita. YAY, KIDDIE AMANITA!

They are ID’d consistently & sensibly by me Dec. 2020 as:

1. Panaeolus – PSILOCYBIN
2. Liberty Cap – PSILOCYBIN
3. Cubensis – PSILOCYBIN
4. Amanita – muscimol + ibo acid

Bad Entheogen Scholars Wrongly Seeing [Amanita] Mushrooms Everywhere

Thus we see the anti-psilocybin, psilocybin-suppressing (filtering-out) result of:

• 1st-generation entheogen scholarship (the Secret Amanita paradigm)
• 2nd-generation entheogen scholarship (the Explicit Psilocybin paradigm)

Who was suppressing psilocybin, eg by bad interp of Day 3 under an intense pro-Amanita bias? The 1st-gen entheogen scholars.

My list is the first to be written, sanely, left to right, 1-4 in order.

That set of categs matches my experience mushroom-spotting.

These are practical, useful categories for the person in the field of mushrooms.

The Art Image Has Bands on Cap; So, no mushroom imagery in Christian Art

A Funny 4 U:

Hugs’ 2025 Oct article argues:

The art images have bands, so, no mushroom imagery in Christian art.  

In fact, the bands confirm – not disconfirm – Panaeolus.

“Bands on cap, or dots, are how artists randomly arb’ly for no reason, depicted trees.  Meaningless.  Whimsical.  So, not mushroom.“

CONCL: Huggins HAS NEVER SEEN MUSHROOMS.

Like saying “image has serrated base so is not Amanita”, when popular drawings show serrated base. Golden Guide: Richard Schultes. 

todo: does Plants of the Gods preserve those Amanita illustrations that were in Golden Guide to Hall’c Plants?
