Has anyone ever read any of this guy's books? As some of you may know, I have recently become very interested in the A. Muscaria mushroom, believing it to be superior to all other entheogens or at the very least their equal in an opposite way. For instance, I believe  psilocybin mushrooms symbolize the outbread whereas aminita symbolozies the in breath. Psilocybin detoxifies you from negative belief stuctures wheras A. Muscaria fills you with the divine light.


Anyway, apparently I had already known about this Wasson character. He is the guy who introduced Leary to psilocybin mushrooms in 1960. He is the first westerner to have partaken in a sacred mushroom ceremony with the now famous Maria Sabina.

What I did not know about him was that he also used A. Muscaria mushrooms and wrote the book Soma: divine mushroom of immortality. Has anyone read this book or any of his books and are they worth reading?

Also another question I have is did Leary or Ram Daas ever try A. Muscaria and if so what was their opinion of it?

I had assumed they were so obsessed with psilocybin and LSD that they didn't have time to think about A. Muscaria, but if they were in touch with R. Gordon Wasson I am sure he must have insisted they try it considering how he thought it was the ancient soma. Yet nowhere in any of Leary or Alpert's writings do I recall any mention of this mushroom.
