‘Plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom.’ – Ken Kesey.
Psychedelic revivalists are rife in the ranks of music, comedy (thankfully not musical comedy… unless you count HAIR) and visual art. Heck, even Jamie Oliver’s jumped on board. But if it’s the crux of the matter that you seek, THE JOURNEYBOOK is for you. It’s a manifesto for 21st century psychedelic culture and is exceptionally exciting because it’s an Australian publication.**Much more than a compendium of tales from altered states, THE JOURNEYBOOK presents us with historical and contemporary shamanism in all its glory and a wealth of information on sacramental plants. It’s a thoroughly delightful read, comes complete with full-colour psychedelic art AND defies publishing conventions: it’s a flipbook. Could you be more psychedelic?
