Alchemically Stoned – The Psychedelic Secret of Freemasonry

Description

P.D. Newman’s bold and daring theory provides a radical interpretation of Masonic symbolism. In the tradition of Wasson, Hofma and Ruck, in “The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries” (1978), and Heinrich’s “Strange Fruit: Alchemy, Religion, and Magical Foods” (1995), Newman suggests that practical psychoactive pharmacology, rather than philosophy, lies concealed in the root of some of our allegories and mysteries.

Admitting to being more than a mere theoretician, Newman draws from his own personal experiences, and a wide range of sources, in presenting his theory in a logical ma er, which merits consideration. – Arturo De Hoyos, 33* Grand Archivist and Grand Historian Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdictio Author P.
