This book was written before many others on the same subject. Wasson had less scholarship to work with and so he took a molehill of facts and used the technique of evocation to build a mountain of a book. In retrospect, he got it right most of the time. In situ, Wasson's evocative writing style is very poetic and dreamy. I enjoyed this book more than all of his others because he took me right to the Eleusinian mysteries and made me feel that I was right there sitting among my fellow initiates.
Wasson is one of those writers that became better with each book he produced. His books are like fine-wine, they have aged extremely well, are still relevant and always enjoyable. This book belongs in the entheogenic Corpus. It is a quick and enjoyable read and you won't regret buying it.
