What does peyoteism mean?

Peyoteism refers to the religious and spiritual practices centered around the use of peyote, a small cactus containing the psychoactive compound mescaline. This practice is primarily associated with the Native American Church, where peyote is used in ceremonies for healing, spiritual insight, and communion with the divine. The use of peyote is often seen as a means to connect with nature and enhance spiritual experiences. As a religious practice, peyoteism emphasizes the importance of ritual, community, and respect for the sacredness of the peyote plant.
