Motive for creating this webpage: this is an errata, where in Egodeath Mystery Show Episode 138: In Defense of Myth, I do my frequent error of incorrectly reading aloud text! 😵 re: the myth that’s referred to in the name of the episode.
This dvd is a version of Irvin & Rutajit’s book Astrotheology & Shamanism. Named per Jonathan Ott’s good duo-book that includes The Angels’ Dictionary.
See excellent book review by Justin Case, got more upvotes than my earlier review 😡, quotable Suppression Assumption statements.
Justin Case wrote, summarizing Ott’s historical model:
“the rise of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman empire meant the downfall of Western civilization into the Dark Ages in which all effort was made to eradicate science, independent thought and any practice involving entheogens and knowledge thereof.
“Central to this plunge into ignorance was the deliberate substitution of the ages old entheogenic sacrament provided to seekers in the Eleusinian mystery rites – the sacrament that gave one an undeniably profound experience – with the innate Christian Eucharist that gave no experience but which required faith in order to have any meaning at all.”
The evidence shows that the above recounting is largely false.
Thomas Hatsis and I largely agree here.
We need to throw away the entheogen scholarship old, Moderate(Minimal)/ Suppression paradigm, as I’ve been calling for since 2002, and develop instead the Maximal/Normalcy, opposite paradigm & explanatory framework theory, the Maximal/Normalcy entheogen theory of religion.
Reject 👎 the Allegro/ Ruck/ & sometimes Hatsis, Moderate/ Suppression entheogen theory of religion.
I have been proving my rightness, the superiority of my framework over that pushed by the Dr. Rut Secret Amanita committee, constantly and strongly ever since then.
Good job defeating yourselves, loser idiot entheogen scholars!
Ott pushes hard, & directly – Ott defines & asserts, the Suppression Assumption that Christianity has no mushrooms, so the Supreme Court can say “The entheogen scholars confirm that our own religious history lacks any psychedelics, therefore Prohibition is justified.” 😵⚰️
GOOD JOB OTT, PUSHING THE FALSE, entheogen-denying, pseudo-history which is the main product of “entheogen scholarship” per the Moderate (read “Minimal“) entheogen theory of religion – the Suppression of Entheogens paradigm. 😖
The Normalcy of Entheogens paradigm (the Maximal entheogen theory of religion) is the case; is the truth; is the fact of the matter; and also is strategically powerful to repeal Prohibition of Psilocybin.
Idiots! Fools! Whose side are you on?!
Effectively, functionally, the entheogen scholars are working on the side of the Prohibitionists!!
Amanita is worthless, undesirable, low/insufficient efficacy, & legal – and Carl Ruck strenuously promotes this decoy, dead-end, phony substitute mushroom, the lowest-grade psychedelic, this weed, this false alternative.
Meanwhile, Psilocybin is effective, targeted to produce cognitive loosening & mythology experiencing – and illegal.
No coincidence.
Entheogen scholars strive to steer us down the disempowered, dead-end, suckers’, fools’ gold path of non-targeted Amanita, to steer us away from the psilocybin Truth, of history and metaphysics and mythology.
The Psilocybin truth about History:
Against the “entheogen scholars”, the truth is, Psilocybin was centrally influential throughout Christian history, and normal and predominant, and widely understood – against the story that the defeatists are striving to tell.
The entheogen scholars – nearly all of them – tell major, harmful falsehoods about the history of Christianity, that promote Prohibition of Psilocybin, by denying that Psilocybin was centrally, influentially present, as is manifestly clear from the description of the Eucharist and banqueting & Mystery Religion and mythology and religious art.

The Psilocybin truth about Metaphysics:
Psilocybin directly & efficiently reveals metaphysics: monopossibility, frozen worldline, block universe, & pre-existing control-thoughts.

The Psilocybin truth about Mythology:
Psilocybin directly puts the mind squarely into the realm of comprehending mythology as description of the transformational phenomenology of the loose cognitive experiential state.
The Worthless, Useless Dross Weed of Amanita; the Infantile, Non-Targeted, Kiddie Mushroom
In contrast, the more we hear about Amanita, the bigger of a worthless, useless question mark Amanita is; legal & good for nothing.
No wonder the bogus “entheogen scholars” are pushing and promoting always Amanita (never Psilocybin), led by Carl Amanita Promoter Ruck’s Dr. Secret Amanita committee with the evil M. Hoffman.
Reject their bunk, substitute product! 🚫🍄

in the recording at 50%, I wrongly said the word ‘Christian’ several times, when the word thats written is the word ‘Christmas’. At end of paragraph:
Unlike his colleagues, Allegro was not beholden to the Catholic Church and therefore was able to develop his theories and interpretations free from Catholic dogma.
The result was the radical claim that Jesus was a psychoactive mushroom.
In particular, Allegro argued that the mythology and symbolism surrounding the Christ figure all point to Amanita muscaria mushrooms,
the iconic red and white mushroom so common in Christmas symbolism and imagery.
Martin Ball
I criticize Martin Ball for using a comma at the end, to falsely attribute holding the Amanita Christmas myth to Allegro.
I doubt that Allegro asserted Amanita Christmas.
While reading aloud, I was thinking the word ‘Christmas’, and I thought that I had said the word ‘Christmas’ – but the word that I actually said was ‘Christian’, several times; hallucinated.
never trust an entheogen scholar
