Artists Obeying Panofsky’s Expectation: Omit the Branches Altogether

https://egodeaththeory.org/2025/01/07/panofskys-letters-to-wasson-transcribed/#Sentence-2-6 —

But even that is not very probable because even the most mushroom-like specimens show some traces of ramification; if the artists had labored under the delusion that the model before him was meant to be a mushroom rather than a schematized tree he would have omitted the branches altogether.

Panofsky’s letter 2 to Wasson, 1952

Panofsky letter 2 to Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔🤬 Wasson 1952 was censored by Popebanker Wasson.

Popebanker Wasson is an academic obstructionist & professional cover-up propagandist for hire, re: mushroom imagery in Christian art.

Panofsky’s arg was censored by Popebanker Wasson, with no mention of that censorship by Huggins.

Panofsky’s arg is favorably cited and asserted by the Denier of mushroom imagery in Christian art, Ronald Huggins 2024 & 2025 articles.

Illus: Michael Hoffman omitting the branches from mushroom-trees, to fulfill the expectations of the top Anything-But-Drugs art historian, Erwin Panofsky

This joke partly relies on fact of Deniers of mushroom imagery in Christian art being blind to the non-branching motif and only fixating on:

“This mushroom-tree can’t mean mushroom, because HAS BRANCHES”.

… making the Deniers blind to the more important motif & message of the mushroom-tree artists:

Our tree “HAS NON-BRANCHING” ie negation of branches/ branching.

How the mind transforms from psilocybin experiencing:

Not simply “branching is not the case”.

The mind ends up w/ qualified possibilism-thinking.

The mind’s experience is of branching, only during ordinary-state.

During the altered state, the mind’s experience is of non-branching:

ordinary-state possibilism vs. altered-state eternalism
