Was Santa inspired by this magical red-and-white mushroom? In Siberian and Northern European shamanic traditions, shamans consumed Amanita muscaria during winter solstice ceremonies. The toxins in the mushroom induced trance states. The rituals often involved "gifts" of wisdom or insight, symbolizing generosity. Researchers theorize this is part of what inspired the story of Santa and his iconic red and white look. What do you think? Was Santa a mushroom? Please do not try consuming these mushrooms.
