The Berserkers (rough translation: The Bear Vests) were a happy tribe
of Vikings in Denmark around year 800 that had a habit of going ber-
serk. My history book informs me that they used the alkaloid amanitin
found in the mushroom Amanita. The trick was to boil the mushroom, let
the strongest warrior drink the stuff, and have the other drink his
piss, a trick also known among Siberian, Lappish and Finnish tribes.
The participants got moderately stoned and generally managed some
transcendental experience. This practice is described as limited ex-
clusively to men. The mushroom, Amanita Muscaria/Fly Agaric/Fluesvamp
produces less nausea when it has been filtered in another humans body.
Most people dismiss the idea that the mushroom was used to induce ber-
serker rage, as the mushroom doesn't work that way. The prospect of
killing, raping and mutilating other human beings should be suffi-
cient. If you're going to eat mushrooms, drink piss etc., stick to the
mushrooms with psilocybes in them. They are much more effective.
