Were ancient civilizations using psychedelics to communicate with the divine? In this thought-provoking episode of Ancient Mysteries, we uncover the hidden role of psychedelics in ancient spiritual rituals—from the trance-inducing ceremonies of Egyptian priests to the mushroom rites of Mesoamerican shamans and the secret initiation rituals of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Were these substances merely sacred sacraments, or were they gateways to higher knowledge, prophecy, and cosmic insight? Discover how ancient cultures may have accessed altered states to connect with gods, spirits, and otherworldly realms—and why modern science is only now beginning to understand what they might have known all along.
