The phenomenon of experiencing altered states of consciousness has been intimately connected with the human being since the primal beginnings of mankind.

On all continents, there have been and still are peoples who practice ecstasy and trance techniques to make contact with the 'other reality', the world of spirits and gods, thereby defining and establishing their reality and norms of behavior over and over again. Many cultures have therefore placed mind-altering plants and mushrooms at the center of their collective and individual rituals. Over time, the most colorful stories developed about the origins of these sacred plants and their uses. From the peyote cactus from Mexico to the iboga plant from Africa to the lucky symbol of our cultural circle, the toadstool. Samorini's basic work offers the reader a uniquely detailed and comprehensive collection of these mythologies from cultures around the world.
