Persephones Quest: Entheogens and the Origins of Religion Paperback - 1992
by R. Gordon Wasson; A. Ruck; Carl a. Ruck (With)
From the rear cover
This fascinating book discusses the role played by psychoactive mushrooms in the religious rituals of ancient Greece, Eurasia, and Mesoamerica. R. Gordon Wasson, an internationally known ethnomycologist who was one of the first to investigate how these mushrooms were venerated and used by different native peoples, here joins with three other scholars to discuss his discoveries about these fungi, which he has called entheogens, or 'god generated within.'

Description:
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some bumped corners and very light edge-wear, but nice solid copy overall. In 1956, funded by the CIA, Wasson traveled to Oaxaca to participate in a Mazatec mushroom ritual, deceiving the curandera, Maria Sabina, in order to bring psilocybin to the American public and help instigate the psychedelic revolution via the notorious Life magazine article, 'Seeking the Magic Mushroom'. This generously illustrated book, which was published after Wasson's death, includes his writings along with those of his Road to Eleusis collaborator Ruck, Indian art specialist Kramrisch, and entheogen proponent Ott. 257 pp. Myth.
