Role Of Psychedelics In the Ancient World & Their Impact On Human Consciousness

Buckle in for an incredible journey through time as we explore the use of psychedelic and hallucinogenic plants and fungi within the ancient world and what role they played in the development of consciousness for humankind.

We start by diving into the oldest known records throughout history, before going into detail into some of the more prominent ancient cultures including: The Mayans, Toltecs and other Mesoamerican cultures with their use of mushrooms, cactus, and even toad skin. Ancient Egypt with their use of blue lotus. Ancient India’s mythical Soma. Ancient Greece and the Elusian mysteries. And the druids of Ireland connection to the faerie world. Before we finally come to one of humanities most controversial evolutionary theory known as the “Stoned Ape Hypothesis”
