This is an incredible book and masterpiece of anthropology. Something that should have been documented long ago, but nonetheless had to wait for the Western Ayahuasca Awakening boom. At least some good has come of it... Amaringo’s curiosity led him to explore various artistic styles and techniques as he sought to develop his unique voice. He studied and experimented with different mediums, including oil paints, watercolors, and pencils. These explorations allowed him to broaden his horizons and refine his artistic skills. Meeting Ayahuasca for the First Time Ayahuasca journeys often have a profound impact on an individual’s sense of self and their healing journey. Amaringo encouraged self-discovery through introspection, embracing the transformative power of ayahuasca to shed light on one’s deepest wounds, and foster personal growth and healing. Expressing Divine Consciousness through Art

Publication of these outstanding paintings of aya­huasca visions experienced by a native medicine man, Pablo Amaringo, and interpreted by the distinguished anthropologist Luis Eduardo Luna permits us to un­der­stand the unworldly psychic effects of the ‘vine of the soul.’” —Professor Richard Schultes, Director, Botanical Museum of Harvard University Amaringo’s art and spiritual teachings have inspired countless spiritual seekers and artists around the world. His vivid depictions of the spiritual realms and the interconnectedness of all things have resonated deeply with those seeking a deeper connection to themselves, nature, and the spiritual dimensions of existence. Contributing to the Psychedelic Renaissance Pablo Amaringo is one of the world’s greatest visionary artists, and is renowned for his highly complex, colourful and intricate paintings of his visions from drinking the Ayahuasca brew. My most sublime desire, though, is that every human being should begin to put as much attention as he or she can into the knowledge of plants, because they are the greatest healers of all. And all human beings should also put effort into the preservation and conservation of the rainforest, and care for it and the ecosystem, because damage to these not only prejudices the flora and fauna but humanity itself.The paintings are incredible, combining many different styles and a lot of detail. You can literaly get lost in a painting for a while, even without the commentary that follows each piece. When you take any plant other than Ayahuasca, you connect through your dreams. Ajo sacha, Chric Sanango, Bobinsana etc. you learn while you are asleep. But with Ayahuasca no, you are conscious and awake. That is why it is the planta maestra – the eye through which you see the world, the universe. It is miraculous and sacred and you can learn from your studies far more with Ayahuasca than with other plants, but you must obey the ‘statutes’ of this plant, i.e. the rules. If you obey, no knowledge will be withheld from you. Even after retiring from painting, Amaringo remained deeply committed to his spiritual practice and the sharing of his spiritual insights. He continued to teach and guide others, advocating for the transformative potential of ayahuasca and the importance of living in harmony with nature. Passing of Pablo Amaringo Ayahuasca is a brew made from the combined properties of the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the leaves of the Psychotria viridis plant. When consumed, it induces altered states of consciousness that are deeply introspective, shamanic, and visionary. Ayahuasca is considered a powerful tool for healing, spiritual exploration, and personal growth. Traditional Uses in Indigenous Cultures

A master communicator of the ayahuasca experience – where snakes, jaguars, subterranean beings, celestial palaces, aliens and spacecraft all converge – Amaringo’s art presents a doorway to the transcendent worlds of ayahuasca intended for contemplation, meditation and inspiration. In an era where Ayahuasca is gaining global popularity for its benefits to spiritual growth, self-exploration, and mental well-being, Ayahuasca Visions is an indispensable guide. It not only documents the rich tapestry of visions induced by this potent brew—it reinforces the profound connection between humans and the natural world.

Whether you're embarking on a personal spiritual journey or seeking a deeper understanding of Ayahuasca, this book is your gateway to the mysteries of this remarkable plant teacher. The artwork Amaringo created over the years uses themes such as dreams, humanity, nature, and their interactions with each other. He accomplishes this by portraying unique depictions of creatures and people in their environment. Everything from the way the images are drawn, to the colors used to show them, help Amaringo accomplish his themes in his work.

They studied them and said they found language and biology in the pictures so later I began to make explanations of them. But I could never show them to people here. That’s how it all started. You touch on an important point about protecting nature; there is an increasing amount of damage that people are causing to the natural world, what is your view why humans do so much damage? Left of the temple, the face of the woman in blue represents the sacred feminine force. This is eternal and we live within the unknowable mystery of her being.The ark at the bottom of the painting represents the sacrosanct. Within the ark is a pyramid in which a princess brings understanding of the mystic origins of cosmic life to the sumiruna and his apprentices. In the upper part of the pyramid is a tinaja used by indigenous women for carrying water on their heads for their families. To either side are birds who sing songs of the river, the forest, and the universe. Just Ayahuasca, but afterwards I took other plants at the same time as Ayahuasca, to learn more things. Wearing silk helps maintain good health, and particularly when unwell, wearing silk pajamas at night is very healing. A woman’s taquina is like silk being woven into a textile as smooth as her beautiful skin. One should always take good care of one’s skin, it is where our cosmic nature resides; if one looks after it one’s house will remain in good repair.
