RIR Nov9 2008 Jan Irvin - The Holy Mushroom & SUB

Jan Irvin who is behind the DVD "The Pharmacratic Inqusition" and co-author of "Astrotheology & Shamanism" joins us on the program to talk about his latest book "The Holy Mushroom - Evidence of Mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity". The Book is a critical re-evaluation of the schism between John Allegro and Gordon Wasson over the theory on the entheogenic origins of Christianity that is presented in John Allegro's book The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross. We begin to discuss the work of John Allegro and we then move on to talk about Gordon Wasson's work. Topics Discussed: Christianity, Entheogens, The Dead Sea Scrolls, Banker J.P. Morgan, Harriet Hosmer, Ivan Bilibin, John Ramsbottom, Andrija Puharich and much more. Don't miss our continuation. We talk more about the Schism between Allegro and Wasson. We discuss some of the Symbolism behind Jesus as a Mushroom and that some cardinals and bishops to this day are dressed up as mushrooms. We also talk about the Piltdown Man/ Piltdown Hoax, the Gnostic Sect Mandeans, "Devil worshipers", Lucifer, the Jesus Seminar, Symbolism in St Marks Basilica in Venice and much more.
