A Brief Introduction to Holy Mushroom Theory
A Brief Introduction to Holy Mushroom Theory
Thomas Hatsis, December 7, 2017 [2013?]
The Holy Mushroom theory presents a challenge to social scientists interested in entheogenic and psychedelic history.

Roasting Jan Irvin
There is a better title and more complete article than this later copy from arspsychedelia.com orig site
Thomas Hatsis, November 7, 2017 [2013]
If there is a Christian mushroom cult, it won’t be found without critical historical inquiry.

Thomas Hatsis, September 12, 2017 [2013?]
Lacking real evidence, Jan Irvin shows that he is not a historian, but an ideologue.

The Christian Radish Cult
The Christian Radish Cult
Thomas Hatsis, September 11, 2017 [2013?]
The evidence touted by Christian mushroom-cult theorists reads more like an opinion column than real historical inquiry.

If Jan Irvin doesn’t investigate his hypotheses, how seriously can we take his conclusions?

Notes
wtf, Irvin 2008 book THM slams Ruck for limiting – Irvin is busting open access to The Mushroom , amanita. Opposite of Hatsis’ claim about Irvin’s position.
Amanita continues to have powerful psychedelic effects proved by hopkins with psil, so therefore Amanita is king of all psychedelics.
Amanita is traditional wishful thinking, traditional popular mushroom lore.
Psil Manna is better than Amanita scroll Eze Rev 10.

Do not rebel like that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
Ezekiel’s Scroll Has Writing on Both Sides, So, Not Mushroom, in Ezek 2 & Rev 10
Ezekiel Scroll Disproves Heinrich & Rules Out The Mushroom: Has Writing on Both Sides, when Unrolled, plus, Amanita doesn’t roll up – So, Not Mushroom, in Ezekiel 2-3 or Revelation 10
Gen 2-3 Kicked out of Eden/ Rev 22 Return to Eden
Eze 2-3 eat scroll / Rev 10 eat scroll that cannot be Amanita, ruled out b/c Amanita only has writing on one side, not both sides when unrolled.
9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, 10 which he unrolled before me. On both [AMANITA RULED OUT] sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%203&version=NIV —
3 And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.
I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or terrified by them,
Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says,’ whether they listen or fail to listen.”
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound as the glory of the Lord rose from the place where it was standing.[a] 13 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against each other and the sound of the wheels beside them, a loud rumbling sound. 14 The Spirit then lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the Lord on me. 15 … deeply distressed.
Ezekiel’s Task as Watchman
16 At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 18 When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for[b] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 19 But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved yourself.
20 “Again, when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before them, they will die. Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The righteous things that person did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 21 But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin, they will surely live because they took warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
22 The hand of the Lord was on me there, and he said to me, “Get up and go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you.” 23 So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown.
24 Then the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet. He spoke to me and said: “Go, shut yourself inside your house. 25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people. 26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious people. 27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.”
