Andy Letcher
4.9/5 (14787 ratings)
Description:Did mushroom tea kick-start Greek philosophy? Was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland a veiled psychedelic mushroom odyssey? Is Santa Claus really a disguised magic mushroom? The world of the magic mushroom is a place where shamans & hippies rub shoulders with psychiatrists, poets & international bankers. Since its rediscovery 50 years ago, this fungus, once shunned in the West as poison, has inspired folktales & urban legends. This definitive study chronicles the history of the mushroom—from its use by Aztecs & Siberian tribes thru to the present—stripping away myths & taking a critical & humorous look at its more recent manifestations. Informative, lively & well researched, Shroom is an engaging exploration of this psychedelic.AcknowledgmentsPrologue1 AgaricusThe mushroom peopleScience & magic The archaeology of ecstasy Mush disordered Feasts & revelationsWasson 2 AmanitaThe fly-agaricSoma Chemistry & conspiracy3 Psilocybe Academic exerciseHigh priests Ripples & wavesUnderground, overground The elf-clowns of hyperspaceMuck & brassEpilogue: love on a puffballAppendixNotesReferencesIndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
