There's a certain school of thought amongst etymologists that suggests that the term 'pissed' has its roots in shamanic times when the shaman would eat the whole mushroom and the rest of the tribe would drink his piss(which would be placed into a mead or similar) to experience a considerably less hardcore version of the visions the shaman was experiencing. |  |

All true, dear boy, all true.
The Abbot of a rather charming monastery which I used to visit on occasion, would often appear from the woods in a state of great excitement with a basket full of a wide variety of fungi, from Chicken of the Woods to Giant Puffball. I particularly enjoyed his Horn of Plenty, and Blewit. |  |

Isn't it true that the book of Revelation was written on an island*, or somewhere anyway, with a high number of psychoactive plants which may have led to some of the more bizarre things written in it?
Not sure where I read this before. But I'm sure I wasn't tripping.

A lot of it stemmed from the desire of the hippies (including counter-culture academics) to draw together their quasi-spiritual experiences on psychadelic drugs with more traditional religion. The same movement which produced Carlos Casteneda and his supposed (but probably fictional) shamanic encounters with peyote gods. |  |

I was trying to figure out the pun on this, and then realised it wasn't an EricClacton post |  |

It's a little known fact that the builders/early users of early Neolithic monuments like maes howe an Stonehenge etc were very heavy users of hallucinogenics. At least at the time of year these monuments we're in use. Though henbane rather then mushrooms seemed to be their favorite |  | | |

Do the full-timers indulge in goat-based perversions then?
Reminds of a joke I heard the other day.
'Kinky' is when you use a feather.
'Perverted' is when you use the whole chicken. | |
