Hey raindrop have you ever read "the Yaqui way of knoledge." by Carlos Casteneda. In it he describes a peyote experience where he met the spiritual manifestation of the peyote plant, named Mescalito (not sure I spelled that right). Casteneda had a full blown contact experience, mabey Psilocibin (Shrooms) has a similar spirit within it that you have contacted on some small level.
Keep an open mind about it and remember that the point of existence is Love and Knowledge, so seek both with all your heart.
