About the Ancient Psychedelia Project

Rewritten for simplicity:

“Humans evolved in tandem with ongoing use of entheogens.

“I teach about entheogens throughout history using:
o Research from books.
o Images from coins, artifacts, steles, seals.
o Christian and religious art of which I have built up a large database.

“I spent 30 years researching and writing the book Ancient Psychedelia.

“This website shares information through visual means.

“‘Symbolism’ is the emphasis of this site.

“A key finding of my research, to bear in mind while studying the imagery on this website:

“Mushroom symbolism has been secretly encoded, across cultures, in religious iconography.

“Mushroom symbolism is not always immediately obvious.

“In Egyptian religion, Mushroom symbolism is encoded in a highly specialized manner.

“In Christian art, there are many depictions of “mushroom trees”.

“It can be argued that mushroom images in Christian art do not represent mushrooms. [The man hanging by one leg above the sword positively identifies these Canturbury images as Psilocybin, because of systemic consistent mytheme use. -mh]

“By its nature, symbolic encoding is not intended to be explicit or immediately understood.”
