High Priest

Dieses Buch ist nur in der Englische Sprache erhältlich.

'High Priest' chronicles 16 psychedelic trips taken in the days before LSD was made illegal. The trip guides or "High Priests" include Aldous Huxley, Gordon Wasson, William S. Burroughs, Godsdog, Allen Ginsburg, Ram Dass, Ralph Metzner, Willy ( a junkie from New York City), Huston Smith, Frank Barron and others. The scene was Millbrook, a mansion in upstate New York that was the mecca of psychedelica during the 1960's, and of the many luminaries of the period who made a pilgrimage there to trip with Leary and his group, the League for Spiritual Discovery. Each chapter includes an I-Ching reading, a chronicle of what happened during the trip, marginalia of comments and quotations, and illustrations.

A fascinating window into an era, this first new edition of 'High Priest' in over over 25 years includes a foreword by Allen Ginsberg, a new introduction by Timothy Leary about the intergenerational counterculture, and new illustrations by Howard Hallils.
