Through the use of Bridgesii cactus I have in the past rubbed up against many forms of life but one of my most vivid experiences was looking through my back window facing the yard and seeing something similar to the linked picture. It was grinning widely and around 4 feet tall. Out of all my experiences with spirits this one struck me much more vividly because from my perspective it was flesh and blood. It seemed as though it knew humans could not usually see it so when I (for better word ) gasped and made direct eye contact with it my fight or flight response went off. I promptly remembered an old Irish saying about turning out your pocket to confuse interactions with the fae and escape attack. upon me doing this it noticed my awareness of it and wretched backwards in fear quickly disappearing in a shimmering cloud.
Now after this experience I did large amounts of research involving such entities. Paracelsus mentioned them as earth elementals while their true nature between different occultists always had major differences. In Robert Anton Wilson's "Cosmic Trigger" he goes into detail of his experience of being a strict materialist that having moved to the country and taking psychedelic cactus, saw a very similar entity to what I saw utterly confounding him. In Carlos Castenada's "Don Juan" he describes of his interaction with Don Juan a Mexican shaman who has him eat large amounts of cactus to interact with a entity he called Mescalito. To the Shamans Mescalito was the spirit of the plant itself and fits the description of my experience entirely.
I guess my question is has anyone else had similar experiences, and if so where do you think they fit within the spiritual hierarchy ?
