In so doing I have included a number of categories which may not generally be considered suitable for inclusion under the heading of religion. Stewart, for instance, includes shamanism, curing, special powers of shamans, miscellaneous shamanistic information, guardian spirits, destiny of the soul, ghosts or soul, and jimsonweed.
1960, James F. Downs, “Washo Religion”, in Anthropological Records, volume 16, number 9, University of California Press, pages 365-386:While the hallucinations produced by jimsonweed and other anticholinergics are frequently described as frightening or even “nightmarish,” the toxic anticholinergic syndrome caused by jimsonweed can include seizures, CNS depression, respiratory failure, and cardiac abnormalities, all of which can be life-threatening.
