so i looked up the name Sarmoun which i had come across and apparently it is an ancient persian(Pahlavi) word meaning "the bees" The word can be decoded using Sufi numerology to provide the word Nush which has a variety of meaning. The primary one being as sweet as honey and associates with the sting of the teacher which also carries the sweetness of wisdom. Nush also means drinking and the sufi idea of awakening to the world whilst putting oneself in the intoxicated mystical state of a drunkard. It also carries the meaning of opium and the antidote to a bitter poison, an allusion to sleep and awakening. Nushab is the water of everlasting life of immortality.
So i interprete all this to indicate that its possible that a religious rite of enlightenment involved an alcoholic drink involving honey and possibly opium. I always wondered what Soma was and this perhaps gives the clue!

Greg Focker: You can milk just about anything with nipples.
Jack Byrnes: I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?
The mystery deepens.

Quartz: In mythology it is most commonly identified as the mysterious maban of Australian aborigine history. Often found in cemeteries in Europe and Pliny the Elder believed it to be crystallized water, a believe that held until the 1600s. Its use as a prism is ancient; the mystics would light sacred fires using the quartz’s focusing abilities. Native Americans gathered crystals in buckskin and fed them deer’s blood. Smoky quartz is prized by Scottish residents that use it for all sorts of decorations.
