During Spring/Summer 2024 A.D., Brandon Palma & 8TH DAY CREATE ®
were commissioned to develop a family of brands centered around the psychedelic, mushroom, and entheogenic space. This visionary initiative was entrusted to Brandon by his dear friends, Carol Mangabat and Niina Alexander, based in the state of Washington, USA.
Set to officially launch in 2025, this collection of sacred brands was conceived with soul, heart and mind, aiming to uplift the current design aesthetic and perception of psychedelics into a higher, holy-inspired realm. The work pays reverent homage to the timeless traditions of partaking in entheogens as sacred sacraments—honored throughout history by cultures across the Earth.
THE CHURCH OF ENTHEOGENS™
•LOGO DESIGN•
The Church of Entheogens™ serves as the central mothership brand, holding within its orbit three current sub-brands—Mystical Mushroom Society™, Psilosonic™ ,Ceremonial Friends ™ - as well as future offerings yet to be revealed.
The logo draws inspiration from an “ancient future” aesthetic—an homage to the indigenous cultures of Earth who have revered sacred plants and entheogens since time immemorial. Two hands hold a stepped pyramid reminiscent of Mesoamerican structures, symbolizing the ascent through levels of consciousness. Beneath the pyramid, a constellation of stars represents the cosmic connection entheogens provide—keys to inner portals and divine universes encoded within every living being.
•WEBSITE DESIGN•
The Church of Entheogens™ website is envisioned as a one-page digital sanctuary—designed with cosmic elegance to reflect the union of heaven and Earth. A celestial temple rendered in pixels, it will guide visitors through a visual journey of sacred entheogens, interdimensional star-beings, and the transcendental landscapes of inner and outer consciousness.
This platform serves as an immersive introduction to the family of brands—designed to captivate both seasoned psychonauts and first-time explorers, including military veterans. The site is slated for launch in 2025.
MYSTICAL MUSHROOM SOCIETY ™
•ABOUT THE BRAND•
Mystical Mushroom Society™ is a Private Membership Association (PMA) dedicated to a community of seekers who honor the power of spiritual evolution through nature-based practices. It offers a sacred haven for individuals pursuing profound, transformative experiences in an environment rooted in safety, reverence, and mutual respect.
We are committed to cultivating a space of education, spiritual development, and collective upliftment. Believing deeply in the potential of entheogenic practices to enhance mental well-being and personal enlightenment, our mission is to support members in sharing wisdom, accessing sacred knowledge, and responsibly exploring natural paths to higher consciousness.
•LOGO AND MONOGRAM DESIGN•
The primary logo for Mystical Mushroom Society ™ is based on an original sketch by co-founder Carol Mangabat and was refined into a more formal brand emblem. It features the iconic Amanita muscaria mushroom, crowned with a heart containing a single, all-seeing eye—a symbol of conscious love and perceptive devotion.
The monogram interlaces the letters “MMS” into a heraldic shield, topped with a mushroom and anchored by a fleur-de-lis–inspired fungal motif. Drawing influence from illuminated manuscripts of the 15th and 16th centuries, the monogram was designed to stand with timeless elegance and strength.
•WEBSITE DESIGN•
The website design is inspired by illuminated Bible manuscripts from the 15th to 17th centuries and the stained glass of ancient churches. Sacred iconography is reimagined through mushrooms rendered with dignity and divine reverence. The site is currently in a limited launch phase.
PSILOSONIC ™
•LOGO DESIGN + PACKAGING DESIGN•
Psilosonic ™ is the third jewel in the brand constellation, launching with a curated collection of microdose capsules, infused chocolates, and mushroom infused gummies. Its visual language merges ancient civilization motifs with cosmic aesthetics, reflected across its immersive packaging suite.
The logo originated from a conceptual sketch by the founders, later refined into a polished mark suitable for packaging and digital presentation. It features the same symbolic heart and eye motif as Mystical Mushroom Society ™, ensuring brand continuity and spiritual cohesion—signifying conscious perception through love.
Each packaging design draws from the mythos of ancient civilizations, expressing the expansive, multidimensional nature of the mushroom experience. These designs echo the eternal message of sacred fungi: one of resilience, timelessness, and inspired greatness. Their purpose is to activate inner visions and awaken aspirational values across the mind, body, and spirit.
