Editorial Reviews
Choice 9/97
This is a work of responsible advocacy. Forte and his dozen principal contributors seek the wide acceptance, including legalization and mature practice, of "entheogens" -- "god spawning" psychoactive substances (LSD, mescalin [sic], etc.) that are deemed especially suited for use on designated or readily identifiable sacramental occasions. Though there is inevitably some unevenness, the collection as a whole is very good -- i.e., instructive and clearly presented. At its best, it is excellent (see, e.g., Forte's conversations with R.G. Wasson and Jack Kornfield). Ample lists of references accompany most of the individual chapters. The book should prove to be a welcome complement to other serious studies in mysticism (including those that take a fundamentally different tack). -- C. MacCormick, emeritus, Wells College --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
