Podcast Review: Psychedelic Salon

Prepare to have your mind blown.  This podcast plays recordings of past lectures by Terrence McKenna, Timothy Leary, and an astounding number of other fringe greats.  I’m not a big fan of Leary, but McKenna was something special.  If you haven’t had the pleasure of listening to him speak, I’d recommend giving him a try.  Keep your mind open.  There is no way to summarize his lectures.  He was absolutely an amazing man.

I started off 6 months ago by first listening to Episode 12, Raeetsch: Witches Ointments and Aphrodisiacs.  It remains one of my favorite lectures on this podcast.  Right up there with the Valley of Novelty series, which I recommend that you listen to for a long and in depth overview of McKenna’s thoughts.

Common topics covered in this show:  Psychedelics, culture and ideology, theology, mythology, and shamanism.  Not necessarily in that order.  Enjoy.
