	Iboga-tourism in Central Africa
		Iboga is eaten on the first night of the initiation ceremony and may be further consumed on subsequent nights should it be deemed necessary.
		The consumption of iboga is supervised by the 'nganga', a senior priest of the religion whose knowledge of iboga's effects on the body and mind is such that he or she is aware of when the initiate has had sufficient.
		Iboga visions are frequently pretty tedious reading for the outsider, their prophetic quality usually simply a symbolic message relating personal work that needs to be undertaken.

	Lycaeum > Leda > Adam, Eve and Iboga

		Whenever I accepted iboga offered to me, I could see that a deep sense of respect was felt towards me; and for this reason they considered me to be a strong man. The woman particpants were dressed like nuns, the officiants like cardinals or bishops.

		Among a dozen or so of the complex indole alkaloids derived from tryptamine and found in Tabernanthe iboga (Apocynacea) ibogaine is the most important hallucinogen, not only in iboga, but perhaps of all those species indigenous to to the African continent.
		Found in Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, a large area of Zaire,and also cultivated in west Africa beyond this natural range, iboga is an important element of life, not only for its hallucinogenic powers but also as an aphroidisiac prized more by the natives for this purpose than the famous African yohimbine.

	A Bwiti Iboga Initiation Ritual
		Somehow the iboga manages to change your vibration, slow you down to such an extent that you become super-aware on the physical plane (exoreal) of events occurring at other dimensional vibrations (endorealities).
		Once those poor souls caught in the paradigm of scientific thought realize how they have limited themselves by invoking scientific rules to try and understand phenomena that goes beyond the parameters, of science they will have tools that will explain the nature of this new reality in terms that they are familiar with.
		It needs a specifically designed music and ritual to have that effect, and aspects of the iboga are potentised, catalysed and actualised by the music, aspects which would not emerge if the iboga was taken out of that context.

		The complex ceremonies and the tribal dances associated with Iboga vary greatly from locality to locality.
		Iboga is intimately associated with death: the plant is frequently anthropomorphized as a supernatural being a generic ancestor" which can so highly value or despise an individual that it can carry him away to the realm of the dead.
		There are sometimes deaths from the excessive doses taken during initiations but the intoxication usually so interferes with motor activity that the initiates must sit gazing intently into space eventually collapsing and having to be carried to a special house or forest hideout.

		What I kinda "discovered" about iboga, and probably a lot of other entheogens, is that (and particularly with iboga) "they" will use your own truths (like your own views about life, God, creation, spirit, etc) to show you the TRUTH TRUTH in your truth.
		What Iboga does, well at least has done for me, is that it has replaced that need for silence.

		The dose: It is difficult to dose iboga, but for most people 6 grams should do it, and if you are treating any kind of opiate addiction I would recommend to have 1 or 2 grams of iboga extra, ready for use right after the treatment.
