Book Details: This handsome author-signed volume is from a tightly limited first edition with this being copy number 192 from the run of just 274 copies. We have sold a handful of copies of this special edition recently and this is our final copy.

The book is bound in dark blue cloth with gilt lettering and ornamentation including a gilt lightning bolt on the front board. The book is protected by a stiff glassine dust jacket and a sturdy, dark blue cloth-covered slipcase.

This text discusses the role played by psychoactive mushrooms in the religious rituals of ancient Greece, Eurasia, and Mesoamerica. In the book Wasson describes his quest for the soma plant, which led him to the Middle East and India, to shamanic rites of Siberia, Mesoamerica, and the United States, and to the folklore of Europeans, Bedouins, and even the Pennsylvania Dutch.

Entheogen literally means `god generated within' and refers to the various psychoactive substances that have been used throughout history in a spiritual context.
