In the 1970s two of the most influential thinkers of the psychedelic era gathered what was then known about psilocybin botany and culture and presented it in "Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide." Writing under pseudonyms, the McKenna brothers provided simple, reliable, and productive methods for magic mushroom propagation, including black-and-white photographs that showed the techniques of the time. The development of more modern cultivation techniques does not eclipse the cultural contributions of this book. Philosophical asides, whimsical illustrations evoking the mystical nature of mushrooms, and speculations about the relationship of these organisms to humankind provide a lasting legacy. Truly the classic manual on home cultivation, the wisdom of "Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide" continues to inspire new students of psycho-mycology--and refreshes psychedelic memories for others.

A set of 23 meditation cards with art and poetry by Alex Grey

•  Includes guided meditations, reflections, and poetry by Alex Grey

The Sacred Mirrors are a journey through our physical, socio-political, and spiritual anatomy. The twenty-three cards in this boxed set lead the viewer through the process of theosis, that is, coming closer to God, through contemplation of iconic archetypes and seeing oneself, each other, and the world as a reflection of the divine.

Indigenous healers and shamans have known since antiquity that plants possess a spirit essence that can communicate through light, sound, and vibration. Now scientific studies are verifying this understanding. Plant Spirit Healing reveals the power of plant spirits to join with human intelligence to bring about profound healing. These spirits take us beyond mere symptomatic treatment to aligning us with the vast web of nature. Plants are more than their chemical constituents. They are intelligent beings that have the capacity to raise consciousness to a level where true healing can take place.

We perform ceremonies to mark important events and celebrate holidays—yet our modern approach to ceremony only scratches the surface of its true potential. With The Book of Ceremony, shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman presents a rich and practical resource for creating ceremonies filled with joy, purpose, and magic. “We are hungry to connect with more than what we experience with our ordinary senses in the material world,” writes Sandra. “By performing ceremonies, you will find yourself stepping into a beautiful and creative power you might never have imagined.”   Weaving shamanic teachings together with stories, examples, and guiding insights. 

Ancient and indigenous peoples have insisted their knowledge of plant medicines came from the plants themselves, perceived through a heart-centered mode of perception, not trial-and-error experimentation. Author Stephen Buhner explores this heart-centered mode of perception, helping readers to learn about the medicinal uses of plants, and how to gather information directly from the heart of Nature.

This is a workbook, a meditation guide, an opportunity to explore personal gifts at the deepest level, the level of the sacred.
