Expanding Mindscapes
The first collection of its kind to explore the diverse and global history of psychedelics as they appealed to several generations of researchers and thinkers. Expanding Mindscapes offers a fascinatingly fluid and diverse history of psychedelics that stretches around the globe. While much of the literature to date has focused on the history of these drugs in the United States and Canada, editors Erika Dyck and Chris Elcock deliberately move away from these places in this collection to reveal a longer and more global history of psychedelics, which chronicles their discovery, use, and cultural impact in the twentieth century. The authors in this collection explore everything from LSD psychothe...
Singing to the Plants
In the Upper Amazon, mestizos are the Spanish-speaking descendants of Hispanic colonizers and the indigenous peoples of the jungle. Some mestizos have migrated to Amazon towns and cities, such as Iquitos and Pucallpa; most remain in small villages. They have retained features of a folk Catholicism and traditional Hispanic medicine, and have incorporated much of the religious tradition of the Amazon, especially its healing, sorcery, shamanism, and the use of potent plant hallucinogens, including ayahuasca. The result is a uniquely eclectic shamanist culture that continues to fascinate outsiders with its brilliant visionary art. Ayahuasca shamanism is now part of global culture. Once the terrain of anthropologists, it is now the subject of novels and spiritual memoirs, while ayahuasca shamans perform their healing rituals in Ontario and Wisconsin. Singing to the Plants sets forth just what this shamanism is about--what happens at an ayahuasca healing ceremony, how the apprentice shaman forms a spiritual relationship with the healing plant spirits, how sorcerers inflict the harm that the shaman heals, and the ways that plants are used in healing, love magic, and sorcery.
From the Depths of Evil
In this tenth installment of the Thulian Chronicles, Arka-Dal, who is the emperor of Thule, and his friends have to contend with a series of calamities and menaces, any of which could bring the empire tumbling down around their ears. They find themselves battling everything, from invading armies, an insane wizard, beings from another galaxy, ancient curses, and the devil himself. Along the way, Arka-Dal gains an unexpected ally, new wives and discovers his vengeful side. This is a rollicking, wild, roller-coaster ride that is a must-read for fans of the previous nine installments and will also appeal to lovers of high adventure.
Peaux blanches, racines noires
Par quels processus historiques et culturels un rite initiatique gabonais, le bwiti, réprimé pendant la colonisation, incarne désormais une forme de "chamanisme" africain sur la scène internationale, bénéficiant d'une image enchantée et salvatrice ? Le bwiti, et surtout l'iboga, la plante psychotrope dont on ingère les racines pendant le rituel, sont aujourd'hui réinvestis non seulement par des intellectuels et le gouvernement gabonais, mais aussi par un microcosme franco-gabonais d'initiateurs et d'initiés.
