What’s greater than Truth? An elegant Theory.
If the Truth doesn’t agree with the Theory, then too bad for the Truth; the Theory is correct. 😑
Religious myth that doesn’t fit the Entheogen Eternalism Mytheme theory is not proper, well-formed, inspired myth.
The Egodeath theory is 100% successful at explaining inspired myth.
Corollary: If a myth doesn’t match the Egodeath theory, then that myth is manifestly uninspired. 🤷♂️
The Diamond Hammer of Interpretation is always successful, because anything that doesn’t fit its forced, Procrustean form is therefore deemed objectively malformed.
You have to vigorously commit to an explanatory model to sincerely do everything possible to contort the data to make it fit.
Add as many corrective epicycles as needed, and discard and ignore 5/6 of the evidence types, like Thomas Hatsis does: the end (the Theory) justifies the means (selection bias).
For every isolated bit of data that refuses to conform to the dictate of my Theory, I’ll outdo even the master himself, the anti-mushroom Psychedelic Witch, and invent an ad-hoc, invented on -the-spot, specially devised “new rule” fabricated just to explain-away each individual case, like:
“That mushroom tree in a Christian document doesn’t count, because, ah… um… It has to be a “devotional” Christian document. Yeah, that’s the ticket!”
Square peg data neatly fits into round hole theory, if you smash the evidence-base with the right magic hammer.
This is where I learned my powerful, unstoppable theorizing from.
Book TWICE recommended to Gordon Wasson by Erwin Panofsky’s PAIR of letters, censored multiple times by the FRAUD Wasson as proved by Browns’ 2019 article.

Brinckmann’s book cover, Wasson would agree with Hatsis, shows parasols of victory.

This identification is even more certain than in other images, because a triple parasol of victory! 😲
You just can’t cut with Occam’s razor any more than that! Cut off all unneeded branching overgrowth.
This type of medieval painting cannot represent psilocybin mushrooms, because:
The image means a tree, and therefore, cannot mean mushrooms. In medieval art, an image can only have a single meaning (except in the case of, anything other than mushroom imagery).
There are branches. If the artist had wanted to deliver the impression of a mushroom (for what we art historians say delivers to us an impression of mushrooms, per our describing them as “mushroom trees”), the artist would have omitted the branches altogether.

Panofsky’s SECOND letter to Wasson

Panofsky’s watertight reasoning proves that the left mushroom plant doesn’t look like a mushroom, because it has branching, and therefore the right mushroom plant cannot look like a mushroom either, because it looks like the left-hand, branching mushroom.
Yet another instance of alleged mushroom imagery explained away in fine historiographical methodological Hatsis fashion.
Anyway, this Eustace window image from Chartres Cathedral depicts a story that was later deemed heretical, therefore it doesn’t count as Christian art.
All mushroom imagery in Christian art is easily explained away by tried and true historical methodology, which I allude to somewhere in my online blogs.
Hatsis, Psychedelic Mystery Traditions
The anti-mushroom Psychedelic Witch’s theory is saved again! 😓

left arm = branching illusion, branching cut by right arm.
Right arm = non-branching possibilities; the psilocybin eternalism revelation that’s the initiation from youth to adult.
Unless you are Brown, in which case, it means “holding a slightly curved sword” (by its blade).
The shape of the liberty cap is anachronistic. (You guys got a big problem!)
Hatsis, pers. comm.
Cubensis doesn’t grow on bovine dung IF (year < 1976) AND (region = England).

Ya Think?
🤔 Hey i have an idea, someone oughtta look for psilocybin in Western religion.

“1976” joke because his article’s typo says “1976” but should instead say ‘entheogen’ was coined in 1979.
