When Reality Grew From the Ground Up
A banker walks into the Mexican mountains in 1955 and emerges with a story that will reshape Western consciousness. R. Gordon Wasson wasn't searching for enlightenment-he was an amateur mycologist with a curiosity about mushrooms. What he found in that Mazatec village, guided by healer Maria Sabina, became a Life magazine sensation that introduced millions to "magic mushrooms." But here's the twist: we've spent the decades since convincing ourselves this was a rediscovery of ancient wisdom, when the truth is far stranger. The relationship between humans and psychedelic mushrooms isn't the timeless spiritual tradition we imagine-it's largely a modern invention, and understanding this reshapes everything we thought we knew about consciousness, culture, and the very nature of sacred experience.
