Joshua Castro is a Medicine cook and musician at the service of the sacred cactus of Huachuma (Aguacoya/San Pedro). His specialty is Hachumishki: Huachuma reduced and preserved in Agave honey. He has been sharing medicine at the service of Grandfather Wachuma for over 10 years. He lives in Pululahua, inside the volcanic crater, where he shares medicines with travelers. Joshua is dedicated to the conservation, proliferation and protection of the Huachuma Cactus and the Sacred Mushroom (Psilocybe Cubensis) working in community, thus fulfilling the ancient prophecy of the Northern Runes, which says: “When the land is suffering and the animals disappear, people of All races will unite to restore peace on earth, and they will be known as the warriors of the rainbow." He is a musician and his songs accompany the listener in deprogramming belief systems that have repressed humanity, to facilitate the awakening of consciousness in balance and celebration of existence.

Garrett is a dedicated vessel of the Huachuma, embodying love and harmony in all that he does. His journey has taken him to Ecuador and Peru, where he immersed himself in the profound teachings of the sacred cactus, learning its ancient healing practices, history, and traditional use.
