Entheogenics and the Maya

Ancient Mayas are thought to have used entheogens, or chemical substances, typically of plant origin, that were ingested to produce non-ordinary or altered states of consciousness for religious or spiritual purposes. "Entheogen," an alternative term for a hallucinogen or psychedelic drug, is derived from ancient Greek words ἔνθεος (''entheos'', meaning "full of the god, inspired, possessed") and γενέσθαι (''genesthai'', meaning "to come into being"). This neologism was coined in 1979 by a group of ethnobotanists and scholars of mythology.〔Authoritative reference needed〕 Some authors claim entheogens have been used by shamans throughout history, with appearances in prehistoric cave art such as a cave painting at Tassili n'Ajjer, Algeria that dates to roughly 8000 BP.〔McKenna, Terence (1992) ''Food of the Gods''. London: Rider.〕〔King, Chris (2012) (Entheogens, the Conscious Brain and Existential Reality: Part 1 ). ''Journal of Consciousness Exploration & Research'' 3(6):579-604.〕 In 1977, José Luís Díaz noted an emerging scholarly discourse in ethnopharmacology that represented a scholarly basis for investigating these practices〔Díaz, José Luís (1977) (Ethnopharmacology of Sacred Psychoactive Plants Used by the Indians of Mexico ). ''Annual Review of Pharmacological Toxicology'' 17:647-675.〕
==History of Maya Entheogen Use==
Maya entheogen use remains an enigma, mostly because there is little evidence available from the archaeological record. There is also little evidence from the epigraphic record and Andrew McDonald and Brian Stross note that Maya script referring to these substances may prove especially difficult to decipher〔McDonald, J. Andrew and Brian Stross (2012) Water Lily and Cosmic Serpent: Equivalent Conduits of the Maya Spirit Realm. ''Journal of Ethnobiology'' 32(1):74-107.〕 At present, most of the evidence comes from ancient Maya art and rare examples of residues of substances recovered from ceramic containers.
