Horror Trips

A new questionable theory about psychedelics and the Bible is developing right now. Explore Dr. Rick Strassman's new speculation that the Book of Genesis, and possibly other stories from the Bible, occurred in a DMT dimension.

Was Moses on DMT when he met God at the Burning Bush? Did the smoke from the burning bush contain enough of the Spirit Molecule to send him into another dimension? Did he use an ayahuasca-like brew using the acacia bush wood and Syrian Rue? Find out in this 3rd episode of the Psychedelic Theology Podcast Eastertide series!

In this mini-episode, we will build on what we learned about ergot in the last episode to unpack the myth that the manna which Hebrews ate in the desert or showbread the priests ate in the Tabernacle were psychedelic.

Was the original Eucharist psychedelic? Was it derived from kykeon, an entheogenic brew used in the Eleusinian Mysteries? Find out the answers to these and more questions in the first episode of the Psychedelic Theology Podcast's 8-part Eastertide Series on myths related to Christianity and psychedelics.

Yes, you read that right. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and enjoy a comparison between Jesus Christ and psychonaut Terence McKenna's understanding of the Machine Elves that can be encountered on high-dose psilocybin and DMT trips. Dive into the self-dribbling jeweled basketballs, entheogen glossolalia, and psychedelic Christmas metaphors for the embodiment of living language.    

It's time for the second annual live recording of the Psychedelic Theology Podcast at the Wild Goose Festival with the HippieCatholic Kassidy Beane! In this episode, we talk psychedelics, Folk Catholicism, and theologies of liberation. Many psychedelic religious movements incorporate folk Catholicism, and any systematic psychedelic theology must include their voices. The Wild Goose Festival is the largest gathering of Christian thinkers and advocates about psychedelics in the world. If you want to expand your mind, and your faith, this is the place to be.

The story of Adam and EVE, a Catholic seminarian turned Ecstasy kingpin, a Benedictine monk with 25 trips, a holy-rolling Sunday School teacher, and the Christian university whose ban on liquor accidentally sparked a culture of XTC

Take a journey with me through the Bible, medieval and ancient sex work, the streets of New York City, and Bonnaroo Music Festival to understand the Christian theology of harm reduction! We'll also review ways to keep ourselves and others safe when using psychedelics and "hard" drugs.

In the 1960s, a question emerged amount some theologians: is God dead? In the face of nuclear holocaust, scientific advancement, and changing social norms, was it time for Christians to admit there is no God? Or is it possible God actually grew weak and died?   Some of these theologians and their ideas interacted with psychedelic drugs. Non-dual LSD trips seemed to annihilate the dualist Christian framework.   Beginning with the 1960s and ending in the present day, we’ll tackle similar problems in this new episode. In the face of Climate Change, postmodern spirituality, and non-dualist psychedelic experience, does it make any sense to believe in God anymore? Is God dead?

This episode includes graphic material. Listener discretion is advised. Just as psychedelic trips can show us unfathomable beauty, they can also show us unfathomable horror that rival any horror movie. In this episode, the latter half of a Halloween Double Feature, we'll explore the story of three horror trips, how they affected the people who experienced them, and why we need to discuss horror trips more often in psychedelic research and subculture.
