hey, stumbled upon another item probably realted to cohoba, it's a snuff tray, tiwanaku (andes, southern neighbors of the wari), 500-1000CE

www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...
from the linked met-article: Snuff tray, Tiwanaku, 500–1000 CE Snuff inhaled through tubes from small trays or tablets such as this one was a widespread practice in Precolumbian South America. In the San Pedro de Atacama region of northern Chile a large number of snuff trays have been found in burials in association with other paraphernalia, such as inhaling tubes, spatulas, small mortars and pestles, and snuff-powder containers. The snuff was prepared from the leaves, resin, and seeds of plants, many of them hallucinogenic, which were dried and finely ground. Historic and current data suggest that snuff had many purposes in the Andes: it was used to cure various ailments, to alleviate pain and hunger, to provide alertness in war and hunting, and to induce trances during rituals and religious ceremonies. The tray is decorated at one end with three carved figures. At the opposite end are the remains of an indigenous repair, a tie preventing a split, running the length of the tray, from widening. map of the spatial distribution of the wari and tiwanaku cultures, from https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwanaku

hey, the wari, who appeared in yesterday's roll with the feline shaped bootle, used it too? i wasn't aware of the use of hallucinogenics in the andes (besides san pedro cacti)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohoba

www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...
excerpt of the linked wiki artikle: "such as cassava, indicating a broader range of uses beyond strictly ceremonial or healing contexts.[3] The practice of snuffing cohoba was popular with the Taínos with whom Christopher Columbus made contact.[4] However, the use of Anadenanthera powder was widespread in South America, being used in ancient times by the Wari culture and Tiwanaku of Peru and Bolivia, and also by the Piaroa of Venezuela and Colombia, and the Yanomami of Brazil and Venezuela.[5] Other names for cohoba include vilca, cebíl, ñuá and yopó. In Tiwanaku culture, a snuff tray was used along with an inhalation tube. Fernando Ortiz Fernández, the founder of Cuban Cultural Studies, offers a detailed analysis of the use of cohoba in his important anthropological work, Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar [es].[6]" from the linked met-article: "This Wari bottle seamlessly merges the body of an anthropomorphized feline with that of a flask-like vessel. Combining in-the-round, low-relief, and painted elements, this ceramic is both visually and technically intricate. The depth of its earthy tones and its balance of volumes brilliantly illustrate the ability of Wari artists to fuse Andean mastery of color and sculpture in the art of pottery. Standing upright with its arms against its body, the feline’s posture de-emphasizes its animality. The figure stares defiantly at the viewer with its eyes wide-open, a threatening stance amplified by its upright ears, gaping fanged mouth, and dotted eyebrows. The animal’s paws are partially humanized, depicted with digits rather than claws and topped with a grey wristband. The clawed fingers grab a fantastical creature, commonly known as the "humped animal" in scholarship (Menzel 1964; Knobloch 1983), on each side (one side is damaged, perhaps from prolonged exposure to salts in the ground). The two humped animals were painted in brick red with a yellow outline on raised roundels. This color scheme is reversed on the two figures on the circumference of the bottle, whose elongated bodies fit closely the curvature of the vessel’s chamber. Geometric designs, such as dotted circles and rhombuses with appendages, complement the painted decoration of the vessel’s body. A row of orange, brick red, and grey chevrons crown the bottle’s spout, a feature common to Wari ceramics."

Next up at the World Cup is #HTIvsSCO.

Early medieval Scottish history is rich and complex (shoutout @govanstones.bsky.social). Our journal has several articles on Scottish history, like: search.informit.org/doi/10.3316/...

In c. 600 CE the Taino moved to Haiti; the Taino aren't covered in JAEMA.

In a blog post about cohoba, the psychedelic used by the Taino people, the author says, "In no way shape or form am I advocating for the use of any kind of drugs."

What groveling!

You SHOULD be advocating for the use of sacred medicines and against imperialist prohibition!
