Well, that's NOT good news. Very sorry to hear it.

Anyone familiar with Peyote should be particularly sensitive to such "signs"
in the course of pre-event preparation:
"Upon arrival at the place where the Peyote is to be prepared, the shaman
begins ceremonial practices, telling stories from the ancient Peyote
tradition and invoking protection for the events to come. Those on their
first pilgrimage are blindfolded, and the participants are led by the shaman
to the "cosmic threshold" which only he can see. All stop, light candles,
and murmur prayers while the shaman, imbued with supernatural forces,
chants."
