“Underground Psychedelic Therapy is alive and well and has been operating, largely with impunity, across Australia for the past 25 years. This book holds gems of wisdom from 10 underground facilitators who, despite great legal risk to themselves have agreed to spill the beans. Between them they have clocked up thousands of hours of immersive practice, offering lifesaving treatments to those people lucky enough to find them. They represent the true voices of wisdom and experience on psychedelic healing and their gems of knowledge seem essential to informing the way forward for both legal mainstream psychedelic therapy and traumatised people looking for authentic healing. Psilocybin Mushrooms, MDMA, Ayahuasca, Kambo, Mescaline Cactus, 5-MeODMT, Iboga – each offer their own unique healing profiles and all are covered in this book.” (publisher’s blurb)

Cobweb of Trips: A Literary History of Psychedelics
Robert Dickins
Vale of Pewsey: Psychedelic Press, 2024.
“Cobweb of Trips is a literary history of psychedelics that catches a sublime aesthetic weaving its way through mid-twentieth century Britain and beyond – one which asks how early experimenters sought to find a role for psychedelics in society. Spinning a psychospiritual thread from literature and the history of medicine, this story brings to light how the question of psychedelics, and the trips people had, were animated by the era’s cultural transformations. From spiritual reimaginings and scientific novelty, to political agitation and the counterculture of the 1960s, Cobweb of Trips is a poetic thread emerging when the psychedelic experience alighted in modern history.” (publisher’s blurb) -
