Book Description: McGraw-Hill, Blacklick, Ohio, U.S.A., 1980. 247 page softcover. From the back cover, "Your enthrallment begins with the book's opening description of the author's all night vigil at a shamanic mushroom ceremony the velada in Huautla, Mexico. Against this awe inspiring setting, you embark on a revolutionary investigation and analysis of the meaning and use of the divine hallucinogenic mushroom, Psilocybe mexicana, and its relevance to the cultures and peoples of Mesoamerica from pre-Columbian times to the present. In its pages you will take part in the sacred ritual, become familiar with its rules and taboos, and witness, as if you were actually present, both the contemporary and historical impact of the sacred mushroom. You will actually experience its deep significance to users for healing, meditation, divination, and religious worship. Astonishing photographs and drawings accompany Wasson's deep and sensitive penetration into the living and past cultures of Southern Mexico, and the role of the divine plant in the natives' religion, where the Indian happily weds it to Christianity. A unique work, the book offers a vital key to our understanding not only of pre-Columbian art and literature before it was touched by European and Asian influences but also of the importance of the mushroom throughout the area today. It is the high culmination of Wasson's rich experiences, discoveries, and insights gleaned from a lifetime of voyages into the deepest territories of the hallucinogenic worlds, both past and present. In it he has distilled the sum total of all that he has learned and all he now believes to be the significance of the way people have used sacred drugs as an element of life, of daily human activity, and as a source of constant and special spiritual strength."
