Magic Mushroom Explorer

Magic Mushroom Explorer by Simon G. Powell is a visionary guide to safely using psilocybin mushrooms to tap into the wisdom of Nature and reconnect humanity to the biosphere.

Powell explores the ecopsychological effects of wild psychedelic mushrooms, including enhanced biophilia, expanded awareness, eco-shamanic encounters, and access to the ancient wisdom that binds all life on Earth. He examines the most recent scientific studies on psilocybin in the U.S. and U.K.

The author details his work to keep the use of psilocybin mushrooms legal in the U.K., demonstrating that an irrational rejection of scientific evidence underlies the harsh war against psychedelic states of consciousness.

Psilocybin, the active ingredient found in psychedelic mushrooms, is seen as an invaluable natural resource for spiritually revivifying the human psyche and reconnecting us to the biosphere and the vast intelligence of Nature. Interweaving recent scientific studies from the United States and Britain, more than 25 years of sacred mushroom exploration, and behind-the-scenes insights on the political wars against psychedelics, Powell offers a guide to safely navigating and maximizing the healing and spiritual potential of psilocybin.

He reveals how the beings and otherworldly teachers common in psilocybin experiences are emissaries from our higher consciousness, emerging when the floodgates of perception are opened. Powell shares vivid descriptions from his own psilocybin journeys, illustrating how the mushroom offers a path of return to the ancient wisdom binding all life on Earth, communicated through tutorial visions and higher modes of perception.

Illustrating psilocybin’s healthful properties, now acknowledged by mainstream science, Powell describes his activism in the fight to keep psilocybin mushroom use legal in the U.K. He highlights the irrational rejection of scientific evidence that fuels the war against psychedelic states of consciousness.

Laying the groundwork for a new relationship with our biosphere, Powell demonstrates how the Earth's psychedelic medicines can reconnect us to the spirituality and wisdom of Nature, offering a route to bring the human race back from the brink of ecological and existential disaster.
