The cult classic on psychedelics and human consciousness by the world famous ethnobotanist Terence McKenna.

‘The single most influential spokesperson for organic psychedelics’ The Independent
What can altered states of consciousness reveal about our origins and our place in nature?

In this landmark piece of psychedelic literature renowned ethnobotanist and psychonaut Terence McKenna explores our ancient relationship with organic psychedelics and opens a doorway to a higher state of being for us all.

An odyssey of mind, body and spirit, Food of the Gods is one of the most fascinating and surprising histories of consciousness ever written. A daring work of scholarship and exploration, it offers an inspiring vision for individual fulfilment and a humane basis for our interaction with each other and the natural world.
