The Road to Eleusis. Persephone’s Quest

Book The Road to Eleusis · Persephone’s Quest Two landmark works on entheogens and the mushroom origins of religion This edition brings together two works by Robert Gordon Wasson, the “father of ethnomycology” — the man who first argued that humanity owes the origins of all religion to entheogens and psychedelics. The Road to Eleusis uncovers the secrets of the famous Eleusinian Mysteries, while Persephone’s Quest traces the role of psychoactive mushrooms in the religious rituals of the ancient world. A foundational text for anyone interested in ethnomycology, the history of religion, and the cultural history of psychedelics.
