Originally published in 1966, ‘Psychedelic Prayers after the Tao Te Ching’ by Timothy Leary is a work of textual interpretation, an exercise in creativity and an attempt to illuminate and guide the psychedelic experience through the lens of an ancient text. The cover drawing, a psychedelic, red horse motif, is illustrated by Michael Bowen. Having already published ‘The Psychedelic Experience: A manual based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead’ as an LSD guide book, Timothy Leary decided to look further East for his next inspiration. A fresh framework for exploring the “awareness-of-energy” and the “patterns of neurological signals which are usually censored from mental life.” The Tao Te Ching is an ancient Chinese text, containing 81 verses. It is thought to date from about the 6th century B.C.E, and tradition has it that it was written by Lao Tse, which means “old master”, although the authenticity of authorship and actual dates are still hotly debated. The style of the text is poetic and philosophical (in the broadest sense) and has been used as an inspiration for religions, artisans and in other systems of thought. There are numerous translations of the title, however its two root words are usually translated as “way” and “virtue”. It first became popularized in the West during the 19th century. Leary believed that the text must be reinterpreted for every new situation and this, for Leary, was especially true for the psychedelic experience. He took nine English translations of the text, read them all thoroughly and allowed the meaning to “slowly bubble up.” In his forward he wrote: “These translations from English to psychedelese were made while sitting under a bamboo tree on a grassy slope of the Kumaon Hills overlooking the snow peaks of the Himilayas.” In geography and text, he is overcoding the psychedelic space and reaching beyond Western culture for the substance but inevitably there is a merging of territories. For Leary, ‘Tao’ meant energy. His reading of the text, and its translation, tie into his 8-circuit (at the time 7-circuit) model of consciousness; specifically the cellular and molecular tiers, which, in his framework, LSD pertains to. It embeds the idea of consciousness being a Heraclitean flux, constantly in flow and in a permanent state of becoming. “Psychedelic poetry, like all psychedelic art, is crucially concerned with flow. Each psychedelic poem is carefully tailored for a certain time in the sequence of the session. Simplicity and diamond purity are important. Intellectual flourishes and verbal pyrotechnics are painfully obvious to the ‘turned on’ nervous system.” The book is structured into six parts; for preparation, the invoking of pure energy flow and different consciousness levels and the final section, which is the “Re-imprinting prayers”. The prayers, or poems, or hymns (as they are variously referred to) are a mixture of language; some poetic, some mystical and also some nods toward science. The use of innovative spacing and alignments create a rhythmic feel throughout and which lends itself very well to the spoken word. As a physical object, the book is a fascinating work in itself. The textured cover and the thick pages make it a delight to hold in your hands. The cover illustrations are beautiful, delicate and absorbing. The very ‘otherness’ of the psychedelic experience is invoked in the making of the prayer book. It contains the curiosity and the sensual multitude. There is a tradition of reinterpreting ancient texts, in the light of the psychedelic experience and it constitutes a major research area in psychedelic literature. ‘Psychedelic Prayers’ is one of the finest examples of this and still makes for a wonderful read in itself; as a curiosity, as a work of poetry and as an insight into the growth patterns of the psychedelic movement. — Testi: Leary Timothy.

197017000n.p.: n.p. ca. early 1970s. Very good. 25" x 38" approx. printed recto only in green and black ink. Folded with some splits at folds. Minor toning. Very good overall. <br/><br/>Poster picturing four sweaters wearing a number of buttons with pacifist themes like "Make love not war" and "Stop creeping proliferation." The poster has no text identifying an artist or any associated groups suggesting this was a commercial production with a "hippie" theme likely the kind of thing one might pick up in a head shop in the waning days of the counterculture. Still an evocative momento. n.p. unknown books

<p>"There's no denying that the stoned rovers were present at the beginning of a cataclysmic period in history, whose legacy "Magic Bus" describes in exquisite detail."--The New York Times Book Review <br> "MacLean's ardent eye for detail is lovely, as is the way he sets his more visually descriptive prose against the sturdier explanations of the names and places in his travels....His prose is guided by an informed curiosity about what the trail must have been like 40 years ago and how a Western presence there has contributed to its present state."--Boston Globe <br> "Most impressively, MacLean has a genuine understanding of the mystical and spiritual elements at play. His engaging traveler's voice and descriptive gifts offer a wholly different view of the tortured region from what is currently available via the mainstream media."--Foreword Magazine <br> "MacLean does a fine job finding journalists and local people who remember<br>the hippies and their impact on both the economy and the sensibility of the places they passed through...Travelers of all kinds, including the armchair variety, will relish the work and love MacLean has put into his latest."--Publisher's Weekly <p>"MacLean's vivid writing shows how much the Hippie Trail changed not only the way we travel, but also the places it passed through and the people who traveled on it."--Utne <p>"A magic journey--lyrical, sympathetic, but gently skeptical."--Colin Thubron <br>"An exciting and lively account of how the ideals of Kerouac metamorphosed into <br>back-packer travel: organized by Lonely Planet guides, fed with banana pancakes, and connected by hotmail from Peru to Phnom Penh."--Rory Stewart <br>In the 1960s and 1970s, hundreds of thousands of young westerners in search of enlightenment blazed the "hippie trail" that ran through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Nepal. Forty years later, Rory MacLean revisits the trail, where he encounters the tie-dyed veterans who never made it home, meets locals reaping the rewards and regrets of westernization, and crashes up against Taliban fighters and Islamic extremism, which has turned the hippie trail into a path of dust and danger. <p><br> — Testi: MacLean Rory. pagg. 280; rileg. brossura.

Contains the landmark photo essay 'Seeking the Magic Mushroom' in which New York banker Robert Gordon Wasson describes his mission to southern Mexico to participate in the age-old rituals of natives who chew strange growths that produce visions. "The mushrooms were of a species with hallucinogenic powers; that is, they cause the eater to see visions. We chewed and swallowed these acrid mushrooms, saw visions, and emerged from the experience awestruck. [We] were the first white men in recorded history to eat the divine mushrooms, which for centuries have been a secret of certain Indian peoples." - p.101. Includes thirteen photos, eight of which are in color, plus life-size watercolor paintings of the seven kinds of hallucinogenic mushrooms so far discovered. This essay begins on page 100 and extends to page 120. Light musty scent. Complete and unmarked with moderate wear. A sound copy of this historic issue. Book
