Item specifics

Seller Notes: “Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Harcourt Brace Jovanonvich, New York. 1971. xvi, 380 pgs. Illustrated. ... “Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Harcourt Brace Jovanonvich, New York. 1971. xvi, 380 pgs. Illustrated. Bound in blue cloth with gilt titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf wear present. No ownership marks present. The text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid. One of the key enigmas of cultural history has been the identiy of a sacred plant called Soma in the ancient Rig Veda of India. Mr. Wasson has aroused considerable attention in learned circles and beyond by advancing and documenting the thesis that Soma was a hallucinogenic mushroom - noen other than the Amanita muscaria, the fly-agaric that until recent times was the center of shamanic rites among the Siberian and Uralic tribesmen. In his presentation he throws fascinating light on the role of mushrooms in religious ritual. A section on the post-Vedic history of Soma is contributed by the Sanskrit scholar Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty”
