Terence McKenna - Psychedelics As a Second Language

Breaking Language Barriers with Francesco De Luca

As Terence McKenna and others once said: ‘Everyone can learn about entheogens from books.’

Unfortunately, sometimes, we can’t read them due to language barriers.

For this reason, we spoke to Francesco De Luca, a poet and translator of the McKenna brother’s golden literary pieces.

Join us to learn more about the importance of literature, his stance on the world as a McKennian, younger generations losing touch with literature, how the world is becoming weird, and Terence McKenna’s philosophies.

Aldous Huxley’s Influence on Psychedelic Culture

PsychedelicsASL

Aldous Huxley is one of the many authors when we want to mention the most renowned authors.

Many people love his unique writing style and philosophy, including Alexander Shulgin, Terence McKenna, and several other scientific researchers who often mentioned his name and works.
But exactly what attracts the hallucinogen community to him?

The FELT presence of immediate experience with The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo and UnTerry McCanny

PsychedelicsASL

Join us this week to read a wonderful conversation with Terence McKenna.

“Uh, it’s actually UnTerry McCanny and The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo.”

We spoke about art, philosophy, puppetry, teaching about hallucinogens humorously, the influence of Terence McKenna in his life, McKenna Monday at Psychedelic Assembly’s library in Manhattan (P.S. They have pizza), the importance of philosophy in the psychedelic space, and what UnTerry McCanny would ask Terence if they could communicate. We also discussed the possibility of bringing new puppets to life!

We found that Michaelangelo is currently accepting donations for a William Burroughs puppet! (It’s just a secret between us, but I must say that the impersonation is immaculate!)

Psychedelia: A quest for the unknown

PsychedelicsASL

Recently, something has become a martyr in my head, and I think many people have this same question.

Why do people keep on using psychedelics?

Could it be that what we seek in psychedelic experiences represents the epitome of human existence as we try to satisfy our rooted curiosity about the unknown and could be the reasoning behind why people continuously explore the realms of consciousness and, consequently, psychedelics?
