With regard once more to mushroom-tree representations, we cannot be sure that the artists wished to represent psychoactive mushrooms; indeed, it is unlikely that this was the case.

Hall of Shame page quote incoming: entheogen scholarship consistently pretends to moderately assert, while in practice, they DELETE DELETE DELETE mushrooms from art.
Entheogen scholarship is hopelessly compromised.
To show how reasonable, trustworthy, and compromised they are, Brown & Brown make a show of throwing the Saint Walburga tapestry into the river, on the basis of the Mushroom Exception to art interpretation: in the case of mushrooms only, an item in art can only represent one thing.
The tapestry represents a vial, “therefore”, it cannot represent amanita (though we’re going to inconsistently nevertheless prominently display the tapestry in our 2016 book gallery & 2019 article collection of amanita images in Christian art).



Carl Ruck asserts that there were one or two people in the Church who used mushrooms (by which he exclusively means secret Amanita alchemy).
Brown multiple times writes that mushrooms were secret back then in the church (despite claiming his subtitle means it’s just a secret to us now).
I agree with Muraresku against Brown’s article book review of Muraresku: the only means of enlightenment, Transcendent Knowledge, is psilocybin (and exact equivalent plants).
I am as far ahead of the Ardent Advocates as they are ahead of Brown and all the other cheerleaders for “non-drug traditional methods of the mystics” and the phony entheogen scholars whose brand posture is to remove mushrooms from the Peak Mushroom middle ages while pretending to assert their presence.
“Entheogen scholarship is hopelessly compromised.”
It fills the pen with ink, while draining the life out of words.
