Astrotheology and Shamanism: Unveiling the Law of Duality in Christianity and other Religions

by Jan Irvin

This well-researched work returns us to the earliest known forms of religion and nature worship to show how our modern religions formed and where they really came from. It also brings us into modern times, reviving and supporting the important work of John Marco Allegro. This book reveals how natural entheogens, including the Amanita muscaria mushroom, were used by those seeking higher consciousness and an authentic religious experience. A must read for researchers investigating the origins of religion and the symbology used by the modern religions of today. Includes an extensive bibliography, 185 illustrations and over 500 footnotes.

DAAAYYUUMMM All the pieces are fitting together. It's like I found the lid to a puzzle box which shows what the image looks like when complete. I will be reading this again in combination with more books as I fit the pieces together.

A superb introduction to the topics of celestial worship and ecstatic-visionary experiences. Herein, an overarching study is undertaken to demonstrate the role entheogens and astrotheology had in the “development”/forming of Christianity; indeed, these subjects are at the foundation, or esoteric heart, of Christianity( and the “religious” experience and spirituality in general). Astrotheology and Shamanism serves as a compendium to the various different studies in these topics to date, with many recommendations for further reading and research.

Powerful illumination of occulted(hidden) knowledge, highly recommended to anyone and everyone seeking Truth.

fascinating theory on the origins of the Christian religion. Don't know that I buy all of it, but much seems quite valid. Book heavily notated with multiple scholarly references. Had no idea, before I read this, that there was so much research into the history of the "Christian Church", and it's dogma, ritual, myth/story. The illustrations from ancient manuscripts, are awesome....definitely worth getting the color version.

Another book that proves that Jesus never existed. Is all about the sky and the mushroom.

If you're not already familiar with this subject, this is one of the most interesting things you'll ever read. Some of the research used and the conclusions they draw from it are questionable but there's still more than enough to convince you that the general idea is at the very least on the right track.
