Hi everyone,
I have two separate announcements, so I'll post two threads here.
I thought I'd let you all know here that I've started a new podcast this week for Gnostic Media. I've released two shows, below, one with Professor Carl Ruck on mushrooms in Christianity, and the other with Professor John Rush, who released his new book yesterday arguing that John Allegro was correct.
Upcoming scheduled podcasts include:
next week:
#003 - Dr. Martin Ball - regarding his books and upcoming philosophies to legalize entheogenic mushrooms.
#004 - Dr. Charles Grob - psilocybin studies at Harbor UCLA medical center
#005 - Prof. John Hoopes - Director of Global Shamanic Studies at Kansas U - regarding 2012 and the history of Mayan studies.

Podcast #002 An interview with Prof. John Rush, author of the new book Failed God, which argues John Allegro's The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross was correct.
Published: 28 Oct, 2008
Description:
Today I interview Professor John Rush regarding his new book Failed God: Fractured Myth in a Fragile World. This is the first academic book since the publication of John Allegro’s The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross (1970) that argues Allegro was correct - and provides ample support for the mushroom foundations of Judeo-Christianity. This is a very interesting interview, so don’t miss it! John Rush is Professor Anthropology, Sierra College, Rocklin, California. He teaches Magic, Witchcraft, and Religion, Physical Anthropology, and Physical Anthropology Lab. He’s Naturopathic Doctor and Medical Hypnotherapist in Private Practice. His specialty areas of study are Human Communication, Systems Theory, and Symbolism; Cults (He participated in a cult for three years – asked to leave); Tattooing and Scarification (He’s gone through 400 hours of tattooing); Herbs both medicinal and hallucinogens (He maintains a large herb garden full of legal magical herbs.); Clinical Anthropology – the use of anthropological concepts/models in clinical settings. His books include: Witchcraft and Sorcery: An Anthropological Perspective of the Occult, 1974; The Way We Communicate, 1976; Clinical Anthropology, 1996; Stress and Emotional Health, 1999; Spiritual Tattoo, 2005; The Twelve Gates, 2007; Failed God, 2008.

Podcast #001 - An Interview with Professor Carl A.P. Ruck and Richard Andrew Grove
Published: 23 Oct, 2008
Description:
For this episode I’m going to play a recording that I did back in April of this year, 2008. I went with Richard Andrew Grove of 8thestate media and Paul Verge of Divergent Films to the home of pioneering entheogenic researcher, Professor Carl A. P. Ruck of Boston University. Professor Ruck co-authored Persephone’s Quest with Gordon Wasson, he also co-authored Apples of Apollo with Clark Heinrich and Dr. Blaise Staples. He’s the author of the book Sacred Mushrooms of the Goddess, Secrets of Eleusis, and more recently he co-authored The Hidden World, Survival of Pagan Shamanic Themes in European Fairytales. In this episode we’ll discuss the entheogenic rites of the Eleusinian mysteries, John Marco Allegro’s research in The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, and Ruck’s upcoming books.
