ROAD TO ELEUSIS, THE(ISBN=9781556437526) 英文原版 下载 mobi 免费 pdf 百度网盘 epub 2025 在线 电子书

　　The secretive Mysteries conducted at Eleusis in Greece for

nearly two millennia have long puzzled scholars with strange

accounts of initiates experiencing otherworldly journeys. In this

groundbreaking work, three experts—a mycologist, a chemist, and a

historian—argue persuasively that the sacred potion given to

participants in the course of the ritual contained a psychoactive

entheogen. The authors then expand the discussion to show that

natural psychedelic agents have been used in spiritual rituals

across history and cultures. Although controversial when first

published in 1978, the book’s hypothesis has become more widely

accepted in recent years, as knowledge of ethnobotany has deepened.

The authors have played critical roles in the modern rediscovery of

entheogens, and The Road to Eleusis presents an authoritative

exposition of their views. The book’s themes of the universality of

experiential religion, the suppression of that knowledge by

exploitative forces, and the use of psychedelics to reconcile the

human and natural worlds make it a fascinating and timely read.

This 30th anniversary edition includes an appreciative preface by

religious scholar Huston Smith and an updated exploration of the

chemical evidence by Peter Webster.
