NATURE · CHEMISTRY · CONSCIOUSNESS

The living chemistry
of consciousness.

A deep, respectful atlas of every psychoactive compound that arises in nature — from psilocybin fungi and 5-MeO-DMT toads to the ancient plant teachers of the Americas, Africa, and beyond.

CURRENTLY CURATING · 90 ORGANISMS · 41 COMPOUNDS · GROWING
WHY THIS EXISTS

Most knowledge of these compounds lives in scattered scientific papers, indigenous oral traditions, and harm-reduction archives.

EntheoAtlas brings them together — beautiful, deeply linked, scientifically rigorous, and culturally respectful — so anyone can truly understand the extraordinary chemical conversation between life and mind.

Acorus calamus (Sweet Flag)
plant
Palearctic
Acorus calamus
Sweet Flag

Semi-aquatic perennial herb with intensely aromatic rhizomes containing α- and β-asarone. Distinguished from sweet flag's many lookalikes by the characteristic spicy-bitter scent. Among the most globally distributed sacred plants of antiquity, named in Egyptian, Greek, Vedic, and Chinese pharmacopoeias.

Amanita muscaria (Fly Agaric)
fungus
Holarctic
Amanita muscaria
Fly Agaric

Iconic red-and-white spotted mushroom containing muscimol and ibotenic acid. Produces distinctly sedative, dream-like, and sometimes deliriant effects.

Amanita pantherina (Panther Cap)
fungus
Palearctic
Amanita pantherina
Panther Cap

Close relative of the fly agaric whose tan-brown cap conceals a substantially higher concentration of ibotenic acid and muscimol — making it both more potent and more dangerous than A. muscaria.

Anadenanthera colubrina (Cebil)
plant
Andean
Anadenanthera colubrina
Cebil

South American tree whose seeds have been prepared into psychoactive snuff (vilca) and brews for at least three thousand years. Closely related to yopo but distributed further south, across the central Andes and the Gran Chaco.

Anadenanthera peregrina (Yopo)
plant
Neotropical
Anadenanthera peregrina
Yopo

Tree native to the Caribbean and northern South America whose seeds contain a powerful mix of bufotenine, DMT, and 5-MeO-DMT. The seeds are roasted and ground into the snuff known as yopo, used in shamanic ceremonies of the Orinoco basin.
