Plants of the Gods

In every cultural tradition, plants are highly valued for their nourishing and healing properties. Hallucinogenic plants, with their powerful ability to transport humans into altered states of consciousness, have thus been regarded as gifts from the gods.
Based on anthropological, ethnobotanical, pharmacological, and biochemical research, this book explores the psychedelic plants used in indigenous cultures around the world, introducing related customs, songs, and dances, making it a classic text in ethnobotany. The book includes 400 color illustrations of rare plants, people, and rituals, as well as an analysis of the biochemical properties of hallucinogenic plants.
