The Chalice and the Blade by Rian Eisler

Rian Eisler's The Chalice and the Blade has to do with revisioning society by looking at ancient models of how men and women arranged social structure in the past. This book is a tracking horse for a new respectability for psychedelics because when you begin asking the question why was there a partnership society for so long and why did it give way to a dominator culture, the answer lies I think in changing patterns of plant utilization. And it's definitely much more than a growers guide. Don't be fooled. It isn't easy and it isn't that the process is difficult. It's that you have bad habits that will get in the way of the process.
