From The Bodies Of The Gods: Psychoactive Plants and the Cults of the Dead

This book explores the history and documentation of these rites and how their symbolism remains deeply embedded in religions around the world. Discover how prehistoric Cults of the Dead continue to echo in modern religion, arts, and film.
