About Me

Bio

I'm an independent researcher, author, lecturer and podcast host.

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 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

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.
