Psychedelic Shamanism
Written by Jim DeKorne
This book is said to be the boldest exploration of psychedelic plants since ‘The food of the gods’ by Terence McKenna. Theory is linked with practice for the first time in one consciousness expanding book.
As a ‘psychonaut’, both personal experimentation and scholarly research have led DeKorne to explore ‘imaginal realms’. The reader is guided through the lore and history of an amazing number of psychotropic plants and given advice on how best to handle the ‘entities’ that one may encounter in ‘hyperspace’.
DeKorne is not just an amazingly educated and well respected ‘psychonaut’; he is also a master gardener. In this book he also explains how to cultivate many of these psychoactive plants in loving detail, as well as how to extract their specific and powerful psychoactive alkaloids. There is also very down to earth dosage information along with typical reactions, details of the length and intensity of common experiences and traditional ritual uses
Perhaps the most lucid and captivating intro to the shamanic hypothesis, Psychedelic Shamanism has all the experience needed to explore hyperspace.
