The secretive Mysteries conducted at Eleusis in Greece for nearly two millennia have long puzzled scholars with strange accounts of initiates experiencing otherworldly journeys. In this groundbreaking work, three experts—a mycologist, a chemist, and a historian—argue persuasively that the sacred potion given to participants in the course of the ritual contained a psychoactive entheogen. The authors then expand the discussion to show that natural psychedelic agents have been used in spiritual rituals across history and cultures. Although controversial when first published in 1978, the book’s hypothesis has become more widely accepted in recent years, as knowledge of ethnobotany has deepened. The authors have played critical roles in the modern rediscovery of entheogens, and The Road to Eleusis presents an authoritative exposition of their views. The book’s themes of the universality of experiential religion, the suppression of that knowledge by exploitative forces, and the use of psychedelics to reconcile the human and natural worlds make it a fascinating and timely read.

Terrence McKenna - Pokarm Bogów.pdf

"Skoro już w XIX wieku zgodziliśmy się przyznać, że człowiek pochodzi od małpy, najwyższy czas pogodzić się z faktem, że były to naćpane małpy" - pisze Terence McKenna w książce, która zapewniła mu sławę jednego z najwybitniejszych badaczy natury ludzkiej. McKenna proponuje w niej nowe spojrzenie na ewolucję człowieka, akcentując rolę, jaką odegrały w niej substancje halucynogenne, używki i narkotyki

Tropi praktyki szamańskie i ceremonie magiczne, w których istotną rolę pełniły środki zmieniające świadomość. Przygląda się ludzkim wzlotom i upadkom, próbując odpowiedzieć na pytanie: Skąd się bierze ludzka fascynacja odmiennymi stanami świadomości i jakie mogą być z niej pożytki? Pokarm bogów należy do tych nielicznych dzieł poświęconych halucynogenom, używkom i narkotykom, które weszły do kanonu humanistyki. To dzieło niebezpieczne, ponieważ prowokujące do myślenia

Jim DeKorne - Ayahuasca Analogues.pdf

In the early 1990s, one of the few places psychonauts could locate information regarding the cultivation and extracting of ayahuasca analogue plants was The Entheogen Review. Out-of-print for nearly a decade, the ER monograph Ayahuasca Analogues and Plant-based Tryptamines combines all of the relevant data from issues of ER (1992 through 1999). Fewer than 3,000 copies of this rare volume were printed. Dedicated to the late Terence McKenna, the book features a poem that has never been published elsewhere, which Alex Grey wrote for him shortly before Terence passed away. Ayahuasca Analogues presents a historical slice from the notebooks and letters of pioneering kitchen chemists and basement shaman.

Combines every entry from past issues of The Entheogen Review related to ayahuasca, ayahuasca analogues, and plant-based tryptamines. New editorial remarks provide fresh commentary and bring the text up-to-date. Chapters include: Ayahuasca and its Analogues; Mushroom Ayahuasa; Phenethylamines and MAOI; Miscellaneous and MAOI; The Passiflora Genus; The Phalaris Genus; Arundo donax; Desmanthus illinoensis; Mucuna pruriens; Phragmites australis; Psychotria viridis; Mimosa tenuiflora (= M. hostilis); The Acacia Genus, DMT & 5-MeO-DMT; Pipes and Vaporizers; Book Reviews; Degree of Intensity Scale; A Botanical Index, and a complete Bibliography.

Marcia Moore - Journeys into the Bright World.pdf

Why did Marcia Moore, the celebrated yoga teacher, astrologer and author, and Howard Sunny Alltounian, MD, a successful and respected anesthesiologist, risk their health, their careers, even their sanity?

This is the intimate personal story of their life together, their love and their explorations into forbidden zones of higher consciousness.

Here is tape-recorded evidence of the struggles they endured, the past lives they relived and the joy that they found--under the guidance of the goddess Ketamine. It's an inner-space adventure story, more exciting and more profound than any novel. And every word true.

Timothy Leary - Psychedelic Prayers after Tao Te C hing.pdf

Timothy Leary--Harvard University psychologist, social change activist, psychedelia enthusiast, and cyberspace pioneer--died on May 31, 1996, as this edition of Psychedelic Prayers and Other Meditations was in progress. Translated "from English to psychedelese" in 1965, these 56 poems were inspired by the Tao Te Ching (Way of Life), ancient spiritual writings of Taoist philosopher Lao Tsu. Leary believed Tsu's writings would serve as an excellent guidebook for psychedelic sessions, so--armed with nine English translations--he sat under a tree in India and attempted to distill the works' essential meanings (from a drug-induced perspective, of course).

As meditation is to Eastern spiritual traditions, psychedelic drugs were to Timothy Leary. The counterculture guru encouraged people to transcend ego-centered perspectives of ordinary human consciousness, go beyond the dualities of right and wrong, and liberate themselves from their limitations. The Tao Te Ching fit these purposes quite well, he thought, and Ralph Metzner, who wrote the book's introduction, agrees: "These meditations on the art and science of consciousness expansion are serene, sensuous, funny and wise. They are among the most inspired writings by one of the outstanding visionary geniuses of the 20th century."
