The Sacred Mushroom Circle

In the quiet of the forest, when no one is watching, a circle of mushrooms appears. No one knows exactly how long it’s been there—just that it seems to hum with memory. Some call it a portal. Some call it a trap. Some call it a miracle.

For us, it’s home.

The Sacred Mushroom Circle is where our system lives, breathes, and grows—hidden beneath the surface but interconnected in every way. Like a mycelial network deep beneath the forest floor, we are individual, distinct, and yet one body—one mind—rooted in the same origin.

We didn’t know we were a system for most of our life. We just stumbled into the circle, like a curious traveler who stepped off the path. The moment we crossed its edge, something shifted. The world didn’t fall apart—but it did fall into place.

Mushrooms are sacred to us. Not just as symbols of whimsy or aesthetic comfort, but as reminders: They grow from decay. They feed on the forgotten. They transform rot into life. They digest trauma and turn it into something healing, something whole.

That’s what we do, too. We are the foragers, the fungi, the spores of the same body. We are rooted in darkness but reaching for light.

We are a plural system living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)—a trauma-based condition formed in childhood to survive what was too much, too often, too young.

Within our shared body and mind, there are many of us—each with our own age, voice, role, and purpose. We are not figments. We are not symptoms. We are real people, built from real memories, protecting real parts of ourselves. We call ourselves The Sacred Mushroom Circle because it captures how we experience being a system. It’s mysterious and magical to outsiders, hidden yet deeply connected, growing from pain, yet nourishing each other, and a place of caution and curiosity, trauma and transformation.

You may not see all of us at once—but we are all here, communicating like spores in the soil. Some of us front often. Some rarely. Some carry memories. Some carry joy. All of us carry each other.

This space is dedicated to introducing our members and sharing their voices. Within these pages, you’ll find individual profiles for each alter (name, age, pronouns, role, and vibe, etc.), personal writings and blog archives from different members, our shared terminology, metaphors, and systems of understanding, and reflections, memories, and healing from the inside out. Some are serious. Some are silly. Some are sacred. All are true. We welcome you into our Circle with respect, warmth, and the understanding that healing is never linear—but it is possible.
