In 1956, funded by the CIA, Wasson traveled to Oaxaca to participate in a Mazatec mushroom ritual, deceiving the curandera, Maria Sabina, in order to bring psilocybin to the American public and help instigate the psychedelic revolution via the notorious Life magazine article, 'Seeking the Magic Mushroom'. This generously illustrated book, which was published after Wasson's death, includes his writings along with those of his Road to Eleusis collaborator Ruck, Indian art specialist Kramrisch, and entheogen proponent Ott. 257 pp. Myth.
