The fleinsopp (liberty cap) mushroom is a psilocybin "magic" mushroom that contains the psychoactive compounds psilocybin, psilocin and baeocystin. The Vikings dried it, and consumed it.
Recent research has revealed evidence to suggest that the Vikings may have been consuming these psychedelic mushrooms before heading into battle.
Vikings are often associated with a hard-drinking culture and a propensity for violence. However, Vikings also had deep spiritual and mystical practices that included the use of psychedelics to enhance their understanding of the world around them.
They would be consumed during rituals or festivals, usually accompanied by prayer or chanting. This allowed for an altered state of consciousness that provided introspective insight and encouraged creative thinking.
Studies suggest that Viking shamans were also known to consume plants such as hemlock, henbane, and mandrake—all of which contain psychoactive compounds like scopolamine. These substances could have been used to induce visions or trances, which aided in spiritual healing ceremonies or other forms of divination practice.
Did Vikings eat mushrooms before battle?
The Vikings are known for their courageous battles. Still, some experts suggest that they may have been under the influence of a hallucinogenic mushroom before entering into these fights. According to recent research, the berserkers—Viking warriors who were said to be able to enter into an uncontrollable rage prior to battle—ingested a psychedelic mushroom known as Amanita muscaria or ‘fly agaric.’ This mushroom species contains psychoactive compounds, which could explain why Viking warriors were so daring and fearless in combat.
Recent evidence suggests that Viking warriors likely had knowledge of this plant-based drug, as it has been found in archaeological sites dating back to when these battles occurred. Moreover, there is historical documentation from other cultures around this period describing similar practices involving the ingestion of mushrooms prior to battle.
