The Hidden Side of Ayahuasca: Black Magic, Entities, and What Is Not Commonly Spoken About

This article is not just a text.
It is a warning from Mother Ayahuasca herself for those who are ready to hear it.

shipibo tribe PeruMost people come to Ayahuasca in search of healing, answers, and transformation, relying on images that feel understandable and safe to them. But the reality of this experience is far deeper and more complex than what is usually spoken about. It goes beyond familiar ideas of “help,” “process,” and “working on yourself,” and touches levels that cannot be prepared for while remaining within the old perception.

And if you are truly considering this path, it is important not only to have the desire for a result, but also the willingness to see what may not align with your expectations.

Because Ayahuasca does not give you what you want to see.
It reveals what is.

The article is about Ayahuasca ceremonies and the dangers that can exist inside them.

But I don’t want to start from the ceremony itself.

Because if you don’t understand what kind of world you are living in, then nothing that happens inside a ceremony will make full sense to you.

Right now, we live in a time where information that used to be hidden is no longer completely hidden. Not because someone decided to reveal it cleanly, but because it is leaking into awareness from many directions at once.

People are starting to hear about things they never questioned before.

About adrenochrome.
About the use of blood in rituals.
About practices that have existed for a long time, but were kept outside of public conversation.

You see parts of it in movies. You hear fragments in conversations. You start noticing that the same themes repeat in different places.

And at some point, if you don’t immediately reject it, you begin to understand something very simple and very uncomfortable.

Magic exists.

It always existed.

And it is being used.

Not metaphorically. Not symbolically.

In real ways, by real people.

Once you understand that, another layer opens in your perception.

You start realizing that there is an unseen world around us  –  not empty space, but a space filled with different forms of life.
Entities, spirits, structures that interact with human beings.

Not somewhere far away – here, around us, inside human energy fields, inside human bodies.

And once you truly allow that understanding in, not halfway, not as a concept but as something real, then the next question becomes unavoidable.

How do these entities enter a person?

There is not one answer.

Some of these entities come when soul enters the body into this life. There are reasons for that, and they are complex, but the fact itself is real.

Some enter when a person is in a weakened state.
Strong fear, shock, trauma  –  moments when the energy field opens without protection.

And people don’t realize that opening your field does not require permission in the way we imagine it. You don’t need to say “yes” out loud.

Being open is enough.

Sometimes this happens when a person is trying to protect themselves, without understanding what they are actually allowing in.

And sometimes it happens simply because someone is in a place where something else is being done.

Not rarely. More often than people want to believe.

Client’s Case

I had a client who came to me being sick and we found out that it started after her trip to Mexico.

She went there for her birthday. Nothing spiritual, nothing intentional. Just a trip, a celebration, being in a different environment.

She happened to be there during Día de los Muertos and visited a cemetery with many people around.

She didn’t participate in any ritual. She didn’t do anything unusual. But someone else did.

Someone in that space was working with black magic.

And she was there with an open, without nesessary protection, her energy field was weak and the entity from someone else’s ritual entered her energy field..

After that trip, her health started collapsing in a way that made no sense medically.

What became clear later was that something entered her field at that moment. 

Not because she chose it. Because she was available. This is what people don’t understand.

You don’t always need to be involved. 

Sometimes being in the wrong place at the wrong time is enough.

 

Any Ceremony is a Magical Ritual


Now take this understanding and bring it into the context of an Ayahuasca ceremony.

A ceremony is not just a gathering.  It is a magical ritual.

Whether people like this word or not does not change what is happening. During the ceremony, the practitioner opens the space between worlds.

He invites helpers. Spirits. Forces that work with him. He works with reality on a level that most participants do not see or understand.

This is true not only for Ayahuasca.

It is true for any strong ritual or ceremony, like Puja, Homa and many others.

In every organized religion, inside temples, rituals are happening. 

Energy is being moved, directed, collected.

During meditation or yoga, when done in a certain tradition, becomes a smaller version of the same process.

Energy is generated and directed somewhere  –  often to the lineage, to the Guru, to the system that holds that practice.

People don’t think about this.

But energy always goes somewhere and transformed.

This is not a comfortable conversation – and that is exactly why it is necessary

There is a beautiful, almost hypnotic narrative that is told about Ayahuasca – a story filled with jungles, ceremonies, songs, shamans, healing, awakening, and the feeling that you are entering something sacred and inherently safe.

At the same time, there exists another reality that is not spoken about openly, because it disrupts this image, removes the sense of control, and forces a confrontation with what does not fit into convenient concepts of light and love.

I am not speaking from theory, not from books, and not from someone else’s stories.
I am speaking from what I have seen with my own eyes, what I have lived through in my own body, what I have felt within my own field while being inside ceremonies.

Ayahuasca is not just a plant.
It is a mechanism of opening consciousness and the field.
It is a portal.

And like any portal, it never works in only one direction – even if you would prefer to believe that it does.

When boundaries dissolve – you stop being a closed system

Most people go to Ayahuasca for healing – and that is valid. But the problem is that very few modern people truly understand what is happening on the level of energy and perception when the process begins to unfold.

Ayahuasca does not simply “show” or “help you see.”
It literally dissolves the boundaries that in ordinary life keep your psyche, your body, and your energetic field in a state of perceived protection – a state that consumes a tremendous amount of energy just to maintain that illusion of safety.

When those boundaries dissolve, you stop being a closed system in which there is a clear separation between “me” and “not me.”

The dissolution of these boundaries and the release of control is the first and fundamental process of the ceremony. Without the willingness to become vulnerable, healing does not happen.

During the ceremony, all participants become an open space within a shared field.

And at that point, the conversation about entities stops being a metaphor.

Entities, attachments, and interactions are not symbols – they are experience

I have seen how people, during the process of a ceremony, change to such an extent that it cannot be explained through ordinary concepts.

The voice changes.
The body changes.
The gaze changes.

And this is not rare and not an exception.
This happens more often than people are willing to admit, because acknowledging it requires a completely different level of responsibility for where you are going and to whom you are opening yourself.

During the ceremony, by invitation (and sometimes without it – and this is exactly where the power of the master is revealed), energies arrive that interact both with the curandero himself and with the participants.

And therefore, sometimes, when looking at other participants or at the shaman, you may see not what you are used to, but the manifestation of these energies.

There are processes that have nothing to do with the simplified concept of “healing” that is usually being sold.

Because a person whose consciousness lives in duality is often frightened even by the very words “entity” or “spirit,” and therefore these are replaced with the more neutral word “energies.”

But in order to receive the experience for which you are traveling to the other side of the world, it is important for a person to know the truth and to be ready to work with what they will see – and this may not correspond to their illusions about what and how things are supposed to happen.

That is why preparation for a ceremony or retreat is important, in order to get rid of as many illusions as possible BEFORE the ceremony itself.

Unfortunately, in the modern world, not every person who calls themselves a shaman or a guide truly understands what they are working with, and often remains at the surface of their perception, depriving participants of the full experience and putting them at risk.

Black magic and ritual influence are not scary fairy tales – they are part of life

The term “black magic” creates resistance, because it destroys spiritual romanticism and requires acknowledging that power can be used for influence, control, and manipulation.

But refusing to use the words “black magic” does not change the fact that such practices exist and have existed everywhere and always.

There are traditions and lineages where Ayahuasca (just like Amanita mushrooms and other plant medicines) is used as a tool of power – not in an abstract sense, but in a very concrete, directed, sometimes harsh, and far from always ethical way.

Those whom in our society are called black shamans or sorcerers use the power of plants and spirits for their own enrichment or for other intentions:

For influence.
For submission.
For attachment.
For manipulation of another person’s energy without permission,
For entering someone else’s field without permission…

And yes, I have been in spaces where this was felt not as theory, but as a direct reality that cannot be argued with.

You may not realize it immediately.

But later, you begin to feel that something has remained – something that is not yours within your field.

And this feeling cannot be confused with anything else if you have ever encountered it.

My personal experience – when the “perfect space” turned out to be something else

I know several centers that are externally flawless – organization, structure, cleanliness, words, approach, everything corresponded to the image of a “correct place” that people look for when choosing where to go.

And that is exactly why, at first, there are no doubts.

But within the space, something happens that is difficult to describe in one word – it was density, tension, almost imperceptible pressure, as if the field itself is not neutral, but observing, holding, interacting, and harmful (of course not for everyone, but the energy of some people is more susceptible to such influences).

And I am familiar with those who had to recover for a very long time after such an experience.

I want you to understand:

Responsibility for the result lies on both sides.

If a person was deceived, they also bear responsibility, just as the one who deceived them does.

Because ignorance of the laws does not release from responsibility, and the unwillingness to know the truth is a form of self-deception, which creates the possibility to deceive those who live in that illusion.

The illusion of safety and its dangers

One of the most destructive ideas is the belief that if a person calls themselves a shaman, a guide, or a spiritual person, it automatically means purity, safety, and that they truly understand what they are doing and what they are dealing with.

This is not true.

Power itself guarantees nothing, because it is neither good nor bad.

What is decisive is who applies this power and with what intention.

And if the guide himself has not yet:

  • worked through their ego and fears,
  • integrated their shadow,
  • balanced their inner feminine and masculine energies,
  • still lives in duality,
  • and does not constantly work on themselves – no matter how much Ayahuasca they have drunk (1000 times or more),

then what will happen during the ceremony under their guidance could both help and harm.

How Ayahuasca affects a particular person is very individual.
And, of course, there are many reasons for “negativity” or what may seem like it to get into a person’s field.

But even a “random” participant can suffer from intentional influence.

That is why, in order not to “get caught in the crossfire,” it is important to understand what I am writing about here.

This is why it is not enough to simply “trust.”

Here, it is necessary to feel and to discern, to be honest with yourself, so as not to ignore the signals that the body gives earlier than the mind begins to explain.

And I will be with you at the retreat in Peru, helping your understanding and the integration of your realizations into life.

And yes, by the way, this article is a warning from Mother Ayahuasca herself for those who are reading it.

Why this is not spoken about, even by those who know

The history of humanity, starting from the Middle Ages, when accusations of magic could cost a person their life and the lives of their loved ones, and continuing to this day, shows that people are still considered insane if they speak about seeing what is invisible to the majority.

Because often people themselves do not understand what exactly they are seeing, those who speak about spirits and entities appear insane in the eyes of others – those who do not see it.

Yes, today more and more people are speaking about this, and much is beginning to be acknowledged. But nevertheless, in society, it is still not fully accepted to speak openly about this – it is discussed behind closed doors, where no one will accidentally label them one insane.

For a Western person, it is easier to explain the effect of any substance through scientific reasoning.

The idea that everything is also happening through contact with spirits may reduce the number of people coming to these practices.

But understanding that we are constantly and everywhere interacting with spirits and unseen entities, that we are constantly exchanging energy – both with them and with each other – can help to more deeply understand what is happening in our world.

When you drink tea or coffee, you are interacting with the spirit of those plants.

When you receive energy after drinking coffee or tea – it is an energy exchange: you receive energy from the spirit of the plant, and in return you give your body as a carrier for its manifestation.

And this is only one example – there are many more like this in your life.

Pay attention to alcohol and other dependencies that can create spirit attachments, and which Ayahuasca may help you release.

Closed eyes do not create safety.

They only remove the possibility of seeing in time what could help you or warn you of danger.

This requires acknowledging that:

  • not all spaces are safe,
  • not all guides act from purity,
  • not all processes are “healing.”

And acknowledging this makes it impossible to continue living by old models like “everything is safe, just trust the process,” and instead forces you to take responsibility for your choice.

This is not about fear – this is about clarity and power

What I am writing here is NOT meant to scare you or make you refuse Ayahuasca, because I myself invite you to a retreat in Peru.

I am writing this so that you seriously ask yourself: are you ready to hear the truth about yourself and about the world around you?

If this article scares you, then most likely you are not ready.

And there can be many reasons for this: both your personal ego, thinking it knows everything better, and fears that came from past incarnations or were acquired in this life.

Or perhaps you truly do not need to go into this experience, and it would be better for you to find other practices for developing your consciousness.

I can help you understand the reasons, if that is important for you.

It is also important to know: black magic, low-vibrational entities, and other forms of influence do not act always and not on everyone.

Therefore, if you have an inner knowing (not ego-based pride) that this does not concern you – that is wonderful.

Continue to hold this state: “this has nothing to do with me” – and it will work for you.

And still, it is important to distinguish what exactly you feel when reading this article:
fear  – that is very often controlled by some entities in the human energy field, which really do not want a person to get rid of her and sabotage all real healing,
or
a clear understanding that this is not about you.

Fear contracts, makes you vulnerable, and takes away your ability to adequately perceive what is happening.

Clarity, on the contrary, gathers you, returns you to your center, and allows you to remain within the experience without losing yourself.

Ayahuasca is deep, transformative inner work that gives strong results when you enter the process not from naivety, but from understanding what exactly is being opened and what responsibility it requires.

How to avoid mistakes when choosing an Ayahuasca ceremony

  • Even if you have already arrived at a ceremony and feel that something is not right – do not regret the money you paid.

Just leave. Protect yourself and do not participate.

  • Pay attention to the state of the shaman and their assistants.

If they look unhealthy, unkempt, exhausted, if there are skin rashes or other alarming signs, and also if you hear disturbing stories from other participants – stop and think before allowing this person to open your energetic field.

  • If you hear that Ayahuasca is being prepared together with participants, rather than by the shaman himself as part of his sacred ritual – do not go to such a retreat.

It may sound more “comfortable” and be accompanied by better living conditions, but do not be deceived by these promises. Remember: behind external comfort there are often other reasons.

  • If a retreat center in South America looks too comfortable, ask yourself: where does the money for all of this come from – and reread what I have written above.

And perhaps you will be surprised by what your inner knowing tells you.

  • Before traveling, be sure to clarify:
    • how many participants will be at the ceremony
    • how many practitioners assist the curandero in holding the space
  • It is also important to understand how the curandero lives outside of ceremonies:

Does he/she  help people in their community and is considered a healer by the community, or are they simply profiting from the popularity of Ayahuasca among Western people?

About inner choice

Always listen to your heart and inner knowing, and do not follow ego-driven desires.

Understand for yourself whether you are truly ready for the Ayahuasca experience.

The ego can lead you into situations where you begin to go through experiences and “work through” things that your soul never actually needed – simply because you unconsciously found yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Remember, we all have freedom of choice.

And it is important to choose consciously, not allowing the ego to pull you into unsafe or someone else’s karma or processes.

Even “working through karma” is also a choice.

You do not have to go through all possible karmic situations.

Sometimes they can be resolved through love and compassion, without entering long and heavy processes.

Choose yourself and listen to your heart.

And then you will find yourself in the right place at the right time – where you can receive the best possible result for yourself and your life.

A different approach to this work

My work is based on returning a person to their own foundation, their ability to feel, to discern, and to understand where they are and what is happening to them.

Preparation here is more important than the ceremony itself.
Awareness is more important than the depth of the experience.

Conscious understanding of the received information and integration of the experience into life is the most important part of the healing process.

And if this approach resonates with you – where there is space not only for experience but also for clarity – you can begin here:

👉 Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru

Conclusion – a quantum perspective on Ayahuasca

If we remove cultural and spiritual interpretations, Ayahuasca can be seen not only as a “sacred object,” but also as a tool that changes the structure of perception and dissolves the regular boundaries of the subject.

In this sense, it can be understood as a technology.

A technology that:

  • reduces perceptual filtering,
  • weakens the influence of ego and limiting mental constructs on consciousness,
  • dissolves the boundary between inner and outer,
  • increases sensitivity to energetic processes,
  • changes the way consciousness “assembles” reality from multiple possible perceptions,
  • temporarily expands the range of accessible states of perception beyond the usual “fixed” picture of the world

From the perspective of a quantum view of reality, it can be said that in an ordinary state, a person perceives only one “assembled” version of reality – the one stabilized by their experience, beliefs, and the brain functioning as a filter.

Ayahuasca weakens this fixation.

And in this state:

  • the rigidity of perceiving one reality as the only possible one decreases,
  • sensitivity to probabilistic and multi-layered aspects of experience increases,
  • the “observer effect” is enhanced, where a person’s attention begins to directly influence how the experienced reality unfolds,
  • content that in ordinary states remains “folded” or inaccessible may become manifest

It is precisely the combination of these factors that creates a paradoxical situation: a person begins to “see more,” but at the same time becomes less capable of accurately interpreting the nature of what they see.

This is exactly where the guidance of a spiritual mentor with a high level of consciousness becomes important.

And within this space, the possibility appears to interact with what normally remains inaccessible: whether internal psychological structures, unconscious processes, or more subtle levels of perception that a person interprets through their available language (energies, spirits, images).

Ayahuasca is neither good nor bad.
It is a tool of power.

And power, by its nature, is neutral – but it amplifies and reveals what is already present within the participant and within the field they enter.

And the question is not whether Ayahuasca is safe.

The question is how ready you are to meet what it truly reveals – without illusions, without the need to simplify, and without the attempt to fit this experience into familiar explanations.
