The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries
Book • 2008
This book delves into the history of the Eleusinian Mysteries, a series of secret rituals and initiations in honor of the goddesses Demeter and Persephone.
The authors, a mycologist, chemist, and historian, present a radical theory that the sacred potion 'kykeon' used in these rituals was infused with a potent, psychoactive entheogen.
The book challenges conventional interpretations of these ancient rites and offers new insights on the role of naturally occurring psychedelic drugs in spiritual rituals, their healing potential, and how the secrets of the Mysteries were concealed.
It also explores the broader implications for Western religious history and the development of human consciousness.
