Graham Hancock

  Thank you Graham Hancock; sorry it’s taken so long   Hi Eric -- I see, I hadn't connected the dots. So you are the grandson of Eugene Seaich!! Please write to me at my personal email address, xxxxxxxxxgmail.com so that we can be in touch. I would like to put up an article about your grandad's book on my website and then draw further attention to it through my fb pages. This would be an article that you would need to write, and it could include the personal account you relate about.

Hallucinogens and Shamanism

Mushrooms of Language Henry Munn from: Hallucinogens and Shamanism, Michael J. Harner, ed., ©1973, Oxford University Press The Mazatec Indians, who have a long tradition of using the mushrooms, inhabit a range of mountains called the Sierra Mazateca in the northeastern corner of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The shamans in this essay are all natives of the town of Huautla de Jimenez. Properly speaking they are Huautecans; but since the language they speak has been called Mazatec and they have been referred to in the previous anthropological literature as Mazatecs, I have retained that name, though strictly speaking, Mazatecs are the inhabitants of the village of Mazatlan in the same mountains. (1) HENRY MUNN has investigated the use of hallucinogenic plants among the Conibo Indians of eastern Peru and the Mazatec Indians of the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Although not a professional anthropologist, he has resided for extended periods of time among the Mazatecs a...
