Started reading Immortality Key: The Secret History of The Religion With No Name, by Brian Muraresku (2020)
It's written incredibly well and about such a fascinating topic: the use of psychedelic concoctions in ancient Greece, shedding light on the mystery of Eleusis.
In fact, one of Brian's central thesis is how the mystical experiences at Eleusis were the catalyst for the things Greek are known for, like democracy, and even the seed for Christianity (the latter which according to the author, later hijacked/twisted the Eleusian practices to obfuscate the divine experience, which resulted in the Christian rites we know today).
It's a really in-depth research, and what I love is that he had access to incredible resources, including the Vatican Librairies, as well direct contact with prominent archivists and such.
Would be a cool guest on the THC I bet!
PS: you can listen to the JRE episode with Brian and Graham Hancock to have a summary of the book with images/videos. Fascinating (It's free, I think you may need a free spotifiy account, but free!)
