PEYOTE, MY DAD AND MANA POTTERY

c
what is this?

it is peyote

my dad is hippie--a real hippie. lived in a VW camper van and traveled the americas when he got a divorce. as far north as alaska and south to central america. his stories were the best--the good and bad things he would stumble upon. he brought me some pottery (a cup) once and told how he spent a month learning the skill and hanging out. did not seem real, just another of his tall tales from the road. i still have the cup--i use it to keep pens, coins, ?, in it. i recently examined it closer , found the name "MANA" and googled it. i was amazed at what i found. HE IS FAMOUS (sort of). i want ya'll to go to his website and 'look' around. Anyway, MY CUP has my name (eric), his name (michael), his symbol (turtle), the date 1979 (i was 11yrs old) on the bottom. Unfortunately he hd a stroke and it really affected his language area, those stories and other follow up stories are lost forever--makes me sad, even more sad that he wasn't around has much as he should have been. are you wondering how peyote plays into this, go to the website.
