Well there is a very old tradition of soma which may date to pre-Vedic times, and that is the Soma-siddhanta. It is a tantric practice and centers around a bizarre etymology of the word soma. In tantra, different approaches to the state of Unity will be concealed by two words joined together in one word. In Soma-siddhanta, soma is actually the compound sa-Umaa, that is Shiva and Uma conjoined. Their nectar of union is soma. -Vaj.
