The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross - Cliff Notes and Book Review

Submitted by Danny on Thu, 09/16/2021 - 12:40

Etymology, sexology, and mycology are brought together in this highly imaginative study of ancient words and their obscured origins. Is there is a hidden connection between the ancient fertility and drug cults of the early bronze age and the origins of Christianity? Is the link codified in the Bible? Is Jesus an allegory for a hypnotic mushroom that mysteriously grows out of the womb of the earth without fertilization, like a virgin, emerging only after receiving life-giving rains from a giant penis in the sky? Is the mushroom the true son of God?

Soma Lore - Musings about the Immortal Mushroom-Sacrament of Antiquity

As we were hiking in the Indian Peaks range of the Colorado mountain last week, we walked right past dozens of these toadstool mushrooms, with only a faint clue of what they were.

Unbeknownst to us, we were hiking among living deities! The nectar of the gods! THE IMMORTAL MUSHROOM-SACRAMENT OF ANTIQUITY! (Writing about mushrooms is awesome because you get to use fun words like hypnotic, sacrament, mushroom-cult, ecstasy, deity, comatose, etc.)

Backpacking, Dispersed Camping along the Redwood Creek, and Horseback Riding in Redwood National Park

In the middle of our epic California coast adventure, my fiance and I decided to try a little backpacking along the Redwood Creek in the Redwood National Park in Northern California - it's the only place in the park where dispersed camping is allowed. We followed that up with an experience I'll truly never forget: horseback riding on the horse trails that go through the heart of the Redwood National Park. Amazing!
