History: Amanita used for demons/possession?

Post by birdbrain » Fri Dec 31, 2021 12:55 pm

Often in ancient Chinese medicine, low doses of poisonous compounds are used for demons/possession, same in many other cultures. Sap from "powerful trees" is often added to use the trees spirit, etc. It makes sense amanita was used for this purpose, but I can't find references.

Has anyone seen the historic use of amanita for demons/possession in any cultures?
