Odin the Wanderer sacrificed one of his eyes to Mimir in exchange for a drink from Mimisbrunnr— a well which Mimir guarded beneath the World Tree, Yggdrassil. By drinking from this well, Odin gained both understanding and wisdom though he would continue to wander the world in search of new sources of knowledge.

The consumption of a subperceptual amount of psilocybin, creating a subtle experience, typically promoting a feeling of being slightly more receptive and open-minded, in-tune with others/your surroundings, as well as enhanced empathy, productivity, and creativity.
To experience the effects of micro-dosing requires multiple sessions, over an extended period of time and is incorporated into a stable daily/weekly routine.
A study in the Harm Reduction Journal, sited by TheThirdWave.co references that micro-dosing has been found to help with the following:
Improve Mood: Peacefulness, overall well-being, calmness, happiness, and a reduction in the symptoms of depression. This includes more emotional connection, a general sense of optimism, and an improved outlook on life.
Improve Focus: Covers skill sets like the ability to focus or concentrate and enhanced self-awareness.
Creativity: Aside from a general sense of improved creativity, this also includes behaviors such as being more open, enhanced curiosity, ability to shift perspectives, and divergent thinking.
Self-Efficacy: This applies to such behaviors as ambition, self-motivation, self-confidence, and a sense of agency. It also relates to improved mental health, including increased introspection, the practice of meditation, and other aspects of behaviors tied to self-care.
Improved Energy: In this case, “energy” refers to things like mental stimulation, wakefulness, and alertness.
Social Benefits: Outside of more engagement with others, this category also includes more empathy, a greater sense of connection, and more extroversion.
Cognitive Benefits: When micro-dosing, users experience heightened mental clarity, better memory recall, and improved problem-solving ability.
Reduced Anxiety: This applies to a reduction in both general and social anxiety.
Physiological Enhancements: Includes enhanced visual acuity, cardio endurance, reduction of migraines and headaches, and higher sleep quality.
While a micro-dose is considered to be anywhere from 0.15-0.3g, we recommend you start your dosing amounts low and work from there to determine you could benefit from an increase.
Additionally, t is important to trial your first dose on a day that you do not work or have any obligations. This is because some individuals can be hypersensitive to the effects of psilocybin and while our micro-dosing capsules and each individual chocolate bar square are typically within a comfortable range for the majority of individuals, this precaution is important for self-awareness.
Keep in mind that while on the first day you may feel exceptional results, on the second you should experience roughly half as much as the first day, and the third should be unnoticeable.
A recommended Beginners Micro-dose Schedule is anywhere from 0.15-0.3g taken every 3 days, as suggested by Dr. James Fadiman (author of Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide), to prevent tolerance changes over time.
Beginners Micro-dose Schedule
Week 1: Mon/Thu/Sun
Week 2: Wed/Sat
Week 3: Tue/Fri
Week 4: Mon/Thu/Sun
Taking your micro-dose in the morning at breakfast has proven to be the most beneficial to allow you to utilize the effects throughout your day and taking it in the evening can interrupt your sleep schedule.
Taking psilocybin in any quantity before sleeping has been known to promote intense dreaming and often psychologically confronting scenarios. This is especially true if you have been avoiding any specific memories or experiences.
Because of this, bruising in believed to be an effective confirmation that psilocin and/or psilocybin is present in the mushroom.
Yes, you can go to work. No, others will not notice. Micro-dosing is safe to do prior to going to work, after you have confirmed that your dose is the proper amount and subperceptual. Again, it is important to ensure you trial your dose amount on a day you have no obligations to ensure you are not hypersensitive to psilocybin and require a smaller dose than the average person.
Janet L. Chang, AAPI Mental Health advocate with a Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Neuroscience from Brown University, suggests the 7 following areas to track while micro-dosing to determine if your dose is well for you:
Best taken intermittently to gain insights and break through moments to assist in sorting priorities and values, with a potential to cause major shifts in perspective. It is important to ensure you are prepared for a major personal transformation that could radically impact your experience of life. While not everyone has this extreme of an experience, the potential is always present.
Benefits of macro-dosing include:
While a typical macro-dose is 2-3g, keep in mind that individual hypersensitivity can effect this. Individuals who are hypersensitive have reported having comfortable macro-doses starting as low as 1.5g and experience effects within 10-15mins instead of the typical
This is the most common way to consume mushrooms and the most efficient but it can also be less palatable for some as the mushrooms have a bitter earthy taste.
Effects will typically begin around 30-45mins after though eating them on an empty stomach will cause a shorter wait and a stronger experience.
Simply chop, tear, or grind your mushroom and add to your tea bag or place steep in a mug or tea pot directly. Add water at a near boil (195-200°F), covering and steeping for 10mins. Do not add boiling water, as high temperatures will compromise active ingredients. Finally, strain before drinking.
*Adding lemon, ginger, and/or honey is often recommended for both flavour and to lessen stomach cramps though success varies from person to person.
Typically the method of choice for micro-dosing though some prefer to use this method for macro-dosing as well. This option hides all taste and makes consumption very discrete. Pre filled vegan capsules can be purchased directly from us or can be filled at home after grinding dried mushrooms and filling empty gelatin or vegan capsules.
Mushrooms can be made into psilocybin edibles and added to most foods however it is important to add them after the cooking stag has been completed in order to preserve the psilocybin properties which high heats destroy. If you would prefer to avoid making edibles at home, our small batch chocolate bars make micro or macro dosing more enjoyable.
