The Image Fragment

Image Credit: John Lash, 2008

I’m very stoked to have confirmed that this crucial image (fragment) that I decoded Nov. ~13, 2020 is indeed from John Lash, and was in an article Lash uploaded May-Aug 2008.

Earliest known availability: Aug. 7, 2008:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080807125333/http://metahistory.org/Wasson/Discovery.php

I think I’m going to have to redo all my Eadwine crops, because in Nov. 2020, the site had a dingy, green-brown tint.

old pic from WordPress gallery Nov. 17, 2020:

Nov 19, 2020. Cyberdisciple provided hi-res Nov 17, 2020.

If my experience is an indicator, this psalter gradually became available in degrees of “high res” – in 2020 I got in early, the image was “off” in terms of color balance.

They looked at my site and said, “that doesn’t look like our book”, and they adjusted the color balance at the high-res site for me.

Thank you, library people.

Here’s a couple fresh captures using my best techniques tho d/k if one is from mobile – probably both from desktop.

No Big Deal, But It Is to Me

This is not one of my usual jackpot breakthroughs of figuring out some intellectual puzzle, yet I feel the same way.

It was “merely” routine Archive.org sleuthing tonight – but I’m very glad and relieved, because:

  • I now know how to attribute the image, and
  • I have gotten finally some date-range specifics of when the heck did I first see it b/c I am certain that Nov. 13, 2020 was NOT the first time I saw it.
  • I definitely didn’t see this image (fragment) before Dec. 31, 2007, or else I would have added it to my gallery at Egodeath.com, which Browns’ 2016 book cites.
  • I certainly saw the image (fragment), some time between mid-2008 and 2019.
  • I didn’t post about it in the Egodeath Yahoo Group, b/c only two Lash posts are there, a pair of posts in 2007 that’s too early, the DOAL article was 2008.

Initially all the below sleuthing process & relevant URLs was worked-up in:

ANNOUNCEMENT: Valuable Dates Research from John Lash at Archive.org 🎉

[May-Aug] 2008.
Earliest known availability: Aug. 7, 2008:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080807125333/http://metahistory.org/Wasson/Discovery.php

Conclusion of tonight’s jackpot of research:
Image Credit: John Lash, May-Aug 2008.

I am very glad to be now able to say:

Image Credit: John Lash, May-Aug 2008.
Certainly no later than Aug. 7, 2008.
Very likely no earlier than May 11, 2008 (b/c Lash’s site map didn’t list it on that day.) It is of course possible that Lash somehow, somewhere posted that image without the context of DOAL article being fully uploaded and indexed in his Site Map – where I hypothetically could have seen it. But in all likelihood, I saw the image as early as [May-Aug] 2008.

I’m CERTAIN that Nov 2020 was not the first time I ever saw it.

This section is a burst / jackpot of intensive research about the above image fragment’s availability on the web, toward answering my Nov. 13, 2020 question “I’m sure I saw this image before, but it’s not in my Egodeath.com 2006-2007 gallery that the Brown book cites, so when did I first see it?”

DOAL = Discovery of a Lifetime article. Earliest date of upload found at Archive.org: Aug. 7, 2008:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080807125333/http://metahistory.org/Wasson/Discovery.php
It is possible the day after the previous snapshot, which would be: May 12 2008.

Lash could have posted the article DOAL as early as May 12, 2008 (ok, possibly earlier) – that’s according to the Lash site map snapshots – and certainly by Aug 7, 2008.

So: “May-Aug 2008” is the first time I could possibly have seen Lash’s 13% crop of the Eadwine image.

When Did I First Post About Lash?

A better search, w/ quotes:
https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/?s=%22john+lash%22
oh wow it only has 1 page-hit, w/ only two posts.

I ONLY POSTED TWO POSTS ABOUT LASH AND THAT WAS A PAIR IN 2007 BEFORE HIS PSALTER WEBPAGES/IMAGES. (double-check & test that statement, later).

His DOAL article was evidently first uploaded May-Aug 2008, but did he say anything on the web about the Psalter while researching the Psalter in Paris in November 2006?

Problem though: that’s too early! pic wasn’t avail yet! he was posting Lexicon words entries like ‘entheogens’ and ‘ego death’ – not the Great Mushroom Psalter yet. try that search tho, on th manuscript number, and “psalter”.

When Did I First Post About Lash’s Eadwine Image?

Remaining question of very great interest: did I post about the image or the containing article DOAL at the Egodeath Yahoo Group – if so, when? too busy with this jackpot to check how much i posted, but i saw 45 min ago that i did post about lash, in 2007 … which is too early, b/c the DOAL article didn’t exist until 2008, according to Lash’s site map at Archive.org.

John Lash – Voice Recording Tour of Metahistory Website
July 9, 2022
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/07/09/john-lash-voice-recording-tour-of-metahistory-website/

Two days ago, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023, I discovered that the Biblio of Browns’ book cites the John Lash page that’s one of a set of 9 Lash articles that I found about the Great Mushroom Psalter (not the only one; Hatsis and maybe Irvin provided another one, Gold Munich Psalter, I posted a little about it here) and 20th Century psychedelics history & Wasson.

Brown The Psychedelic Gospels > Bibliography p 245:
The Discovery of a Lifetime
http://www.metahistory.org/psychonautics/Eadwine/Discovery.php (4o4)
Accessed September 27, 2015

Per John Lash, We Must Pause and Take a Moment to Worship and Venerate Glorious Wasson, the Creator of Psychedelics and Entheogens and Who from the Grave Is Inserting Thoughts in Your Mind About Entheogen Theory

Background: It is grotesquely amateurish of John Lash to extremely, obscenely over-credit Wasson.

The only person who so over-worships Wasson is, …
Wasson, who in SOMA states that he is the first person ever to think of associating the mushroom with the Genesis Eden trees.
[ 😣 😡 never mind those $5&!! imbecilic morons in the French mycology club, and idiot mycologists: John Ramsbottom (hurls tomatoes)]

According to John Lash (Wasson’s #1 fan), Eadwine is here depicting Wasson (aka God), Creator of Plants:

Wasson (aka God), Creator of Plants
– according to John Lash
  • Wasson our god and savior who created mushrooms, and is
  • the person who coined ‘entheogen’ (see endnotes in 2nd Edition of Not In His Image), and is
  • the person ever who first thought of connecting psychedelics and religion (see my quotes in my Wasson article http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm), and is
  • the first person who ever realized Genesis Eden tree = the mushroom (never mind those IDIOTS in the French mycology club in 1900, morons, who naively blunder in claiming that the Plaincourault fresco means Amanita – fools! imbecile mycologists!) (see my Wasson article for proof that Wasson makes such outrageous, pompous, self-aggrandizing, unjustified, rude claims) and
  • who single-handedly created all of your thoughts connecting psychedelics and religion)

Section title:
John Lash: “Variations of the Wasson theory, including considerable departures from it”
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/12/04/scholarly-fail-quotes-hall-of-shame/#John-Lash-Variations-including-considerable-departures

Lash, hidden in endnotes, at one point admits that Wasson wasn’t the first- yet that doesn’t stop Lash from everywhere else, acting as if Wasson *IS* the field of entheogen scholarship.

We must rename “entheogens” to “Wassonogens”, because when entheogens give you God-consciousness, more specifically they give you Wasson consciousness: you gain unity with the Higher Power, whose name is Wasson, the creator of all your thoughts about entheogens.

Step Aside, God – Wasson Is Here

In his voice recordings in the site map tour of Lash’s site, Lash admits that Wasson is a dubble agint, ie he’s the most radioactve person in the world, the most sketchy and dubious person in the world – yet Lash nevertheless, after that, republished his book, 2nd Edition of Not In His Image, which persists in obscenely glorifying Wasson to the skies, displacing even God himself.

Expose: see John Lash’s edited book, final article, by Jan Irvin, which is also one of the articles in the “Top Articles” drop-down menu at GnosticMedia.com:

url https://logosmedia.com/2012/05/RGordonWasson_The-Man-the-Legend-the-Myth-secret-history-of-magic-mushrooms-by-jan-irvin-144/

I posted about Lash’s voice-recording’s admission of Wasson’s sketchiness (I provide Lash’s .mp3 link & timestamp), and spoke about it in Egodeath Mystery Show podcast, eg at Idea Dev page 13:
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/?s=radioactive+wasson+lash
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/03/09/idea-development-page-13/#Egodeath-Mystery-Show-episode-183

Found it: (not yet the Archive page w/ the Lash mp3 link):
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/07/09/john-lash-voice-recording-tour-of-metahistory-website/ – (has my photo of Lash’s endnotes obsequiously fawning over Wasson-as-God) –

At 9:03 [in Lash’s (part 2) .mp3] – “R. Gordon Wasson, a banker … and most likely a double agent for the nu hurl odor, if you want to play into that scenario”

I got link for the page that contains mp3, took 60 sec to load/retrieve:

Yep, confirmed, I heard Lash say the above quote again just now.

Record of my discovery of this info about Lash’s Image

yay! i have some proof: Date/time stamp: [intensive research burst: Jan. 31, 2023; current time as I finish formatting my findings in this page: 10:56 p.m. Started a couple hours ago ~9 pm Jan. 31, 2023. History of discovery of these dates – not “primary discovery”, but a sort of “secondary discovery”: this evening I discovered how to use Archive.org to answer a set of important questions I have been wondering since Nov. 13, 2020: When did I first see, or could have possibly seen, Eadwine’s leg-hanging mushroom tree image in the Great Canterbury Psalter? Ans: ]

DOAL = Discovery of a Lifetime – Lash article that presents the image fragment (an overly cropped, mere 13% of the full 3-row comic image – yet enough for a huge jackpot of decoding Nov. 13, 2020, thanks to huge success of applying my Christmas 2015 hypothesis (announced at the Egodeath Yahoo Group) of Dancing Man brought by Hatsis: {standing on right leg} =? eternalism-thinking??), yellow-skewed, blurry per the Brown & Brown Blurry Internet Images criteria) of Eadwine’s leg-hanging mushroom tree image in the Great Canterbury Psalter.

Flaws of Lash image:

  • 13% of the image; overly cropped.
  • Yellow-skewed.
  • Blurry.
  • In a defunct page, 404, that Lash removed. Thank you to the two sites who archived copies of Lash’s DOAL article. (I posted those two sites in 2022, when I posed the questions:
    Is the image from John Lash? Tonight I can answer: YES!
    When was the image first on the Web? Tonight I can answer: [May-Aug] 2008!
    When was the image first reasonably attainable/viewable and available in libraries or book for purchase? Tonight I can answer: 1958 & 2002)
    And a new question (I think) tonight but not(?) 2022:
    Did I post at the Egodeath Yahoo Group about the image??!!! is there any indication that i saw the image before? b/c in Nov 2020 i said “I NKOW I’VE SEEN THIS IMAGE BEFORE” – but “citation needed! i don’t even know if it’s from Lash!” (Until now! 🎉 )
  1. First, it began with me checking news at Lucid.news.
  2. I found article https://www.lucid.news/are-you-experienced/ and
  3. then i updated Idea Dev p 16 to point out the man standing on right leg.
  4. Then I added a bunch of images of standing on right leg.
  5. Then i decided to make a new posting/page containing those images.
  6. Then I published the page.
  7. Then I cleaned up the linked TOC and headings more: I walked to get the Brown book to look up the url in the biblio giving .. I was adding info about some pics. I wanted to add the URL for the DOAL article that Brown cited (though I could have gotten the URL from this site; from my 2-3 2022 posts).
  8. Since the URL is known to be 404, I pasted it then added Archive.org of it.
  9. Then it occurred to me to find earliest snapshot to answer my question since Nov 2020: “hey I can probably prove if the image is from Lash!! I’ve been really needing that! I posted that I needed that! (in 2022).
  10. “Hey I can also use Archive” to finally answer the other important question: when did i first see the image (it must have been before Nov 2020 but must have been after my 2006 articles/gallery I wrote at Egodeath.com b/c I CERTAINLY would have added to gallery in 2006 if knew of it then)?
  11. First I tried a direct approach: at Archive.org find 1st snapshot of the article’s URL that contains the image. Fair result: 2010. But GIVEN THAT LASH WROTE THAT HE RESEARCHED PSALTER IN 2006, 2010 is surely long after he uploaded the image. There must be some indication of the article in Archive long before 2010!
  12. LEVERAGING THE LASH SITE MAP PAGE INSTEAD: Then I craftily thought of hitting different angle at Archive: find an older page that eventually links to that page: which snapshot of the Lash Site Map first mentions the DOAL article? The logic is that since Archive had long known the URL of site map, it would have more frequent snapshots than of the brand new DOAL page URL. That turned out to be true!

May 11 & August 7, nothing between.

QED: John Lash added “Discovery of a Lifetime” to site nav after May 11, 2008 and on or before August 7, 2008. So call it “May-Aug 2008”. Call the image the “the John Lash 2008 leg-hanging mushroom tree image”

The first time that I could possibly have seen this image (def’ly provided by John Lash) was May-Aug 2008 just after I started public hiatus, 2 years after making my gallery http://egodeath.com/christianmushroomtrees.htm

I have yet to scour the Egodeath Yahoo Group archive to detect if & how early I saw the DOAL article,
https://web.archive.org/web/20080807125333/http://metahistory.org/Wasson/Discovery.php

In DOAL, lash wrote:

“In November 2006 [when I pub’d main the Egodeath theory article at Egodeath.com -cm], shortly after the publication of my book Not in His Image, where I describe entheogenic rites in the pagan Mysteries at Eleusis and elsewhere, I made a long-awaited visit to the National Library in Paris.

“Upon acquiring a membership card I was able to consult the archives for Greek and Latin manuscripts, of which the BNF (Bibliotheque National de France) has an impressive collection.

“I was in quest of a very particular item, Latin MS 8846, the Paris Eadwine Psalter.

“This is the single and unique illustrated Medieval text of its kind, incomparable to anything else.

“I was not able to handle the actual MS, but I examined the color microfilm made from it.

“My session of three hours in the microfilm booth left me with wide eyes, a slack jaw, and unsteady feet.

“I literally staggered out into the Rue de Richelieu. For a couple of hours I remained in state of astonishment, awed by the images I had seen rolling across the microfilm screen.”

That sounds like me after Nov. 29, 2013, shaken/trembling for 2 weeks, after spotting the 3 layers of branching in Campbell’s Power of Myth – Illustrated book + Fritz Graf Greek Myth book cover with Douris’ kylix art of Jason/ Ladon/ Athena/ golden fleece.

The Great Mushroom Psalter is Latin MS 8846 (explained by John Lash in DOAL article).

A Wanted Date Found: A Great Mushroom Psalter Book First Available 1958, then 2002

Lash below that writes:

“In 2002 the Spanish publishing house Moleiro publlished an exact copy of the Paris Eadwine Psalter [Lash means Latin MS 8846], including the natural blemishes of the original pages.

“(The only earlier facsimile edition was published in Copenhagen in 1958.)

“The meticulous catalogue description makes not the slightest allusion to mushroom imagery, or anything at all unusual.

“The sample pictures offered by Moleiro are carefully cropped to avoid showing any evidence of illuminating fungi. “

What do you mean, “the sample pictures”? Free, marketing samples of the full replica, Lash must mean. I could look for mushrooms there, using my gallery of all 75 mushroom plants in the Psalter.

“Another on-line resource, Facsimiles of Manuscripts Illuminated in the British Isles, reproduces some tell-tale scenes but without comment on what is being shown. An article on the Moleiro edition in the UK online magazine Church Times (July, 2005) says: …”

But I want to know if in 2007 or 2010 or 2011 I pointed to this image or a page that contains this image.

Do my posts reveal awareness or indicator that I saw this image or a page that contains this image?

If this URL I posted in 2007 … would Lash’s page have contained the image at that time??
Psychonautics navigation page:
http://www.metahistory.org/PsychonautNAV.php
waiting and waiting for Archive.org, what is 1st snapshot?

OMG I think we can detect when Lash first uploaded the image of Eadwine’s leg-hanging mushroom tree image in the Great Canterbury Psalter

Earliest snapshot of Psychonaut Nav page: 2005:

not great results for that URL, try Brown’s URL
http://www.metahistory.org/psychonautics/Eadwine/Discovery.php
near that date: the image is present as of June 13 2010 at

Proof that the Canterbury Psalter’s Leg-Hanging Mushroom Tree Is Psilocybe
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/proof-canterbury-psalters-mushroom-trees-are-psilocybe/

The above was the image that led my explosion jackpot of decoding the Eadwine image Nov. 2020, by applying my conjecture/hypothesis from Christmas 2015 about “dancing man” in the salamander bestiary image, {standing on right leg} =? eternalism-thinking instead of possibilism-thinking.

There are many figures standing on right leg in the image.

The above yellow blurry heavily cropped image (13% of the Eadwine image) was probably provided by John Lash.

I probably saw the above image around 2008(?), and I re-found it Nov 2020.

I feel sure that I re-found that image, in Nov. 2020, because when I found it in Nov. 2020, I felt that I remembered it, I had seen it before.

I was surprised Sunday two days ago Jan. 29, 2023 that Brown’s book The Psychedelic Gospels‘ biblio cites John Lash’s noteworthy defunct article:
“The Discovery of a Lifetime” about the Great Mushroom Psalter.
