    193: The Mushroom Finds You: Ceremony, Healing, and Creative Power with Edward Crowe

    Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review Edward Crowe joins KK to explore his deeply personal relationship with psychedelic mushrooms—spanning visionary experiences, ceremonial practices, and the role fungi play in his creative and healing journey. Edward shares vivid stories from his psychedelic visions, including cultural and ancestral imagery, and explains how these experiences have shaped his worldview. He walks KK through his approach to facilitating one-on-one ceremonies grounded in intention, safety, and respect, highlighting practices such as outdoor sacred spaces, crystal work, and yearly participation. Edward also discusses his dosing philosophy, the importance of purging, microdosing lessons, and how mushroom use has positively supported his focus and path in the music industry. The conversation dives into Edward’s “mushroom healing journey,” where a series of synchronicities reinforced his belief that mushrooms find the people who need them.  New website launch, upcoming projects like Murder Cigars and his photography collaborations, and his belief in a “psychic mycelial network” connecting fellow travelers. We close with a candid discussion about psychedelic safety, the risks of commercialization, and why education and integrity must remain central to mushroom work.
