about me
I'm an independent researcher, author and lecturer in archaeoastronomy, astrotheology, ethnopharmacology, shamanism, symbolism, ancient and modern mythology, fertility cults, and ancient and modern religion.

I'm the author of the new book The Holy Mushroom: Evidence of Mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity; A critical re-evaluation of the schism between John M. Allegro and R. Gordon Wasson over the theory on the entheogenic origins of Christianity presented in The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, © 2008. For more information, please see www.theholymushroom.com

I'm the host of the Gnostic Media podcast at www.gnosticmedia.podomatic.com

I co-authored the book Astrotheology & Shamanism: Unveiling the Law of Duality in Christianity and Other Religions, 2006, with Andrew Rutajit. I also co-produced the DVD The Pharmacratic Inquisition, 2007, also with Andrew Rutajit. See www.gnosticmedia.com

Watch the Pharmacratic Inquisition DVD free online here: video.google.com/videoplay

I'm the curator of the official website for John Marco Allegro, the much criticized Dead Sea Scrolls scholar, and have contributed much to the re-examination of many of Allegro’s theories. See www.johnallegro.org

I contributed much of the research toward the academic article Wasson and Allegro on the Tree of Knowledge as Amanita, 2006, with Michael Hoffman. This article is to be published in The Journal of Higher Criticism, sometime in 2008.

I was featured in the documentaries The American Drug War, aired on Showtime; and the recently released Canadian film, High Jacking Humanity.

I have over 15 years of research into the study of ethno-pharmacology and drugs. Through the years I've given dozens of public speeches and radio interviews regarding these studies.

Book - Astrotheology & Shamanism
( local favorites » other ) "Astrotheology & Shamanism: Unvieling the Law of Duality in Christianity and Other Religions" This book is the first time scholars have attempted to combine the two fields of research of Astrotheology (sun and star worship) along with ancient shamanism (entheogen usage) to show the true history of all of the world's religions.

In this show we investigate a modern mystery and phenomenon that has recently swept the world. It can be found discussed at large conventions for $300 for an admission ticket - where the so-called experts gather to promote their ideas of this field of study - and also in popular books, movies, radio shows, and TV programs.
I'm talking about 2012 and the history of the Mayan Calendar. But did 2012 really come from the Maya? Or from charlatans? What is fact, and what is fiction? And what is re... read more
