Also included are a detailed index of natural chemicals of particular interest, and a huge bibliography containing thousands of reference entries.” (rear cover) Initially published in a limited run of 500 copies, less were distributed due to printing errors.

Phanerothyme: A Western Approach to the Religious Use of Psychochemicals
AU$400.00 Read MoreAdd to cartLisa Bieberman
Cambridge: Psychedelic Information Center, 1968.An uncommon pamphlet by one of the lesser-known figures in the early psychedelic movement. Lisa Bieberman founded the Psychedelic Information Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was one of relatively few women to publish independently within a scene dominated by male voices: Leary, Alpert, Metzner, and Watts chief among them. While associated with, though not central to, the Harvard psychedelic milieu, she maintained a degree of distance from Leary’s more overtly charismatic and spiritual positioning. Here Bieberman proposes a Western religious and philosophical framework for understanding psychedelic experience, pushing back against the prevailing tendency to graft Eastern mysticism onto what she regarded as a distinct mode of encounter.

Haschisch: A Novel
AU$1,000.00 Read MoreAdd to cartThorold King [Charles Gatchell]
New York: Brentano’s, 1888.First published in 1886 under the pseudonym Thorold King, a novel of narcotic experience following a young Englishman who travels to Egypt, becomes addicted to hashish, and experiences vivid hallucinations.

C. McClurg, who sold 3 editions. Then I turned it over to Brentano’s who published and sold 3 more editions. C.” Various advertisements and promotional materials for the book are glued to the pastedowns and endpapers. Among the relatively few 19th-century novels to treat cannabis, marijuana, and hashish in a broadly positive or experiential light.

Scopolamine-Morphine Anaesthesia and A Psychological Study of Twilight Sleep Made by the Giessen Method
AU$500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBertha Van Hoosen; Elizabeth Ross Shaw
Chicago: The House of Manz, 1915.Van Hoosen (1863-1952), pioneering American surgeon, was the first woman to head a surgical department at a coeducational university and a co-founder of the American Medical Women’s Association in 1915. She was a leading American advocate of scopolamine-morphine anaesthesia in obstetrics, the so-called Twilight Sleep method developed at the University of Freiburg. The technique, which rendered patients semiconscious and eliminated memory of labour pain, became the subject of a national campaign intersecting with first-wave feminist and suffrage-era activism following a widely-read 1914 McClure’s Magazine expose. Van Hoosen’s text, drawing on extensive clinical experience, covers the method’s application in both general surgery and obstetrics, with Shaw contributing a psychological study of patients under the Giessen protocol. Illustrated with a mounted photographic frontispiece and fifteen plates. This copy with a presentation inscription by the author.

Women and Psychedelics: Uncovering Invisible Voices
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartErika Dyck; Clancy Cavnar; Patrick Farrell; Ibrahim Gabriell; Beatriz C. Labate; Glauber Loures de Assis
Santa Fe and London: Synergetic Press, 2024.“This collection of short essays examines the place of women in the history of psychedelics. While some of the subjects are pioneers in their own right, the authors in this collection go beyond merely adding women to the past in psychedelic history, exploring some of the significant ways that women have contributed to psychedelic knowledge. Blending historical and anthropological approaches with a series of captivating interviews, this collection taps into women’s networks around the world throughout the 20th century. It reveals some of the sophisticated and creative ways women have influenced our understanding of psychedelics and how they will continue to protect these stories as we face our psychedelic future. Our collection intentionally moves beyond an American set of stories, teasing out networks in Latin America. This collection brings together authors from the Chacruna Institute and Chacruna Latinamerica to engage readers in conversations that move across time and place throughout the Americas. It is the first of its kind to balance non-English contributions through translation of stories exploring different cultural contexts outside the United States, where women have contributed to this enduring history.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Production of Entheogenic Communities in the United States
AU$35.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBrad Stoddard
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2024.Cambridge Elements: New Religious Movements. “The rise of entheogenic religion – that is, religions that involve the use of psychoactive drugs – has captured the attention of scholars and journalists. These studies tend to advance the interests of practitioners who advocate for the legitimacy of entheogens and of entheogenic religion more broadly. This Element breaks with these approaches as it offers a historical and critical analysis of entheogenic communities. It examines the production of entheogenic groups in the United States and considers the historical factors that have contributed to the rise in psychedelics more broadly. It also explores legal considerations and the impact of the law as a curator of entheogenic communities. This Element recognizes that these communities – like all imagined communities – are culturally conditioned, socially constructed, and historically contingent. By exploring these contingencies, we learn more about the broader sociocultural, historical, and economic frameworks that underlie the burgeoning association of psychoactive substances and religion.” (publisher’s blurb)
