Vintage statues

Does anyone here know where to find good quality vintage statues of saints?

There are a few I'm trying to find for my altar (St. Anne, St. Michael, and St. Elias more specifically) but the stuff I see online A.) looks very cheaply made or B.) is prohibitively expensive.

What do you like to do/watch while tripping?

My spouse is going on a weekend camping trip and I've decided that I want to go on a trip of my own. It's been about a month since my last dose and I'm going to try that gel capsule from XÜM.

It's supposed to last for 6 hours, so I'm gonna need to find something to do during the experience.

For regular trippers, what kinds of music do you like to listen to while tripping? What movies or shows do you like to watch? Or do you just kind of sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip? Or is there something else different that you enjoy?

St. John's Eve.

St. John's Eve is coming up and I was hoping to make my way to NOLA to participate, but unfortunately I'm unable to. So I've decided I will celebrate on my own and try to make my way down next year.

​

Does anyone here celebrate SJE? What kind of rituals and prayers do you do?

​

Pictured here are my statue of Marie Laveau and icon of St. John the Baptist.

I want to try mushroom gummies, but I'm on an SSRI.

I've been on an SSRI for about a year. Specifically 25 mg of Sertraline, although I did start at 50 and had to cut down due to negative side effects. 

I really want to try mushroom gummies, but I also know that being on an SSRI can, at best, dull the experience and, at worst, cause Serotonin Syndrome. However, I have also seen some opinions saying that stuff like mushroom gummies won't uptake your serotonin in such a drastic way and Serotonin Syndrome is extremely unlikely or even exaggerated. 

So as I see it, I have 3 options:

1.) Continue not doing mushroom gummies while I'm on Sertraline and just deal with it. 

2.) Gradually taper off (which I've been considering anyway since I'm not sure how effective it is for me anymore) and then try the gummies. 

3.) Try the gummies anyway, even with the risk. 

But ultimately I know that I can live without trying this stuff. It isn't something that I need in my life to survive. But I'm still curious about it all the same. 

Any advice or personal anecdotes? Especially from those who are on/have used an SSRI?
