Book excerpt: Le livre que vous tenez entre les mains est un monument. C'est l'ouvrage fondateur d'une nouvelle discipline scientifique, l'ethnobotanique, qui étudie l'homme en fonction de son rapport aux plantes qui l'entourent. Les auteurs sont de véritables sommités scientifiques : Richard Evans Schultes, professeur de biologie et directeur du Musée botanique de l'université de Harvard, et Albert Hofmann, directeur de recherches des laboratoires Sandoz, célèbre découvreur du LSD. Que ce soit le datura, le chanvre, le peyotl, la belladone ou d'autres, chacune des quatre-vingt-onze plantes hallucinogènes ici détaillées a laissé une empreinte profonde sur nombre de civilisations qui les consommaient et continuent parfois de le faire. Des fameuses pythies grecques aux prêtres mayas en passant par les chamans sibériens, l'accès à un monde surnaturel, magique, divin, voire au cosmos, est passé pendant des siècles et sur tous les continents par le filtre de ces substances phénoménales. N'était-ce pour les travaux d'audacieux savants - dont nos auteurs figurent au premier rang -, ça n'est pas seulement le secret de ces mystérieux végétaux qui serait tombé dans l'oubli, mais toute une culture universelle que nos préjugés occidentaux menaçaient de perdre dans le trou noir de l'ignorance. Mêlant avec bonheur la botanique, l'ethnologie, la chimie, la mythologie, l'histoire de l'art et des religions, cet ouvrage, devenu un véritable classique, est une somptueuse invitation à voyager dans la mémoire de l'humanité.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned anthropologist and ethnopharmacologist Christian Ratsch provides the latest scientific updates to this classic work on psychoactive flora by two eminent researchers. • Numerous new and rare color photographs complement the completely revised and updated text. • Explores the uses of hallucinogenic plants in shamanic rituals throughout the world. • Cross-referenced by plant, illness, preparation, season of collection, and chemical constituents. Three scientific titans join forces to completely revise the classic text on the ritual uses of psychoactive plants. They provide a fascinating testimony of these "plants of the gods," tracing their uses throughout the world and their significance in shaping culture and history. In the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties. The most powerful of those plants, which are known to transport the human mind into other dimensions of consciousness, have always been regarded as sacred. The authors detail the uses of hallucinogens in sacred shamanic rites while providing lucid explanations of the biochemistry of these plants and the cultural prayers, songs, and dances associated with them. The text is lavishly illustrated with 400 rare photographs of plants, people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world's sacred psychoactive flora.

Download or read book Les plantes psychotropes et la conscience written by Romuald Leterrier and published by Editions Alphée. This book was released on 2008 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Ayahuasca, ce breuvage psychotrope originaire d'Amazonie ne cesse d'être mentionné dans de nombreux ouvrages consacrés au chamanisme. Quel est son mode d'action ? Quels sont ses principes actifs ? Se pourrait-il que ce que les Indiens nomment les esprits, ou "mères des plantes ", soit une représentation de l'intelligence des végétaux ? Romuald Leterrier nous conduit dans une enquête passionnante, réalisée chez des chamans d'Amazonie péruvienne, ponctuée de cérémonies, de visions et de démarche scientifique pluridisciplinaire, sur un fond de nature luxuriante où poussent ces fabuleuses plantes enseignantes. Il dégage l'hypothèse d'une intelligence végétale, d'une véritable conscience porteuse de connaissance, et capable de dialoguer avec l'être humain. À travers l'étude du fonctionnement des plantes psychotropes et du chamanisme, c'est une nouvelle vision du vivant qui émerge.

Book excerpt: This book provides an innovative analysis of the conditions of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship in the light of the archaeology of production, linguistic analysis, visual representation and ethnographic research. During the past decades, the "imaginative" figure of ancient Egyptian material producers has moved from "workers" to "artisans" and, most recently, to "artists". In a search for a fuller understanding of the pragmatics of material production in past societies, and moving away from a series of modern preconceptions, this volume aims to analyse the mechanisms of material production in Egypt during the Middle Bronze Age (2000-1550 BC), to approach the profile of ancient Egyptian craftsmen through their own words, images and artefacts, and to trace possible modes of circulation of ideas among craftsmen in material production. The studies in the volume address the mechanisms of ancient production in Middle Bronze Age Egypt, the circulation of ideas among craftsmen, and the profiles of the people involved, based on the material traces, including depictions and writings, the ancient craftsmen themselves left and produced.
