Book Description

NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1959. beige bindings, red titles and sacred mushroom illustrations, Tight Copy, light edgewear, neat previous owner bookplate on the first front-freepage, the clear Brodart covered dust jacket has light edgewear. An exploration of psychotropic mushrooms and fungi in ancient cultures, religious rites and experiences, primitive and new age mysticism, and varities of metaphysical and psychic experiences. Written by an authority on parapsychology and ESP. With experiments and research including an experiment using Amanita Muscaria and a far reaching trace state in which Harry Stone a test subject who could neither speak Egyptian nor write Hieroglyphics in his normal state, could do both when in a sacred mushroom induced trance - as he assumed the persona of Ra ho Tep. Ra ho Tep was a real person of whom little is known. Stone's English utterances include a description of a plant sending people into a trance - a plant identified by Dr. Puharich as Fly Agaric, a species of mushroom. This appears to suggest that the state of trance in which the spirit leaves the body was practised in Egypt in the year 2700 B.C., or two thousand years before its appearance in the Western World; and it also seems to imply that there is some connection between this phenomenon and the Sacred Mushroom Cult which has long been practised in various parts of the World. 220 pages...
