You, dear reader, are an extremely fortunate individual to have stumbled upon this particular digital doorway. What lies ahead is one of the most important volumes in the canon of psychedelic literature. The Essential Psychedelic Guide was written by D.M. Turner, an extraordinarily courageous and articulate pioneer in the exploration of the imaginal realm. However, due to a tragic series of events resulting in the untimely death of its author, this book was very nearly lost forever. Only a few psychonauts lucky enough to have found copies from the initial print runs would have ever been the wiser. Luckily, though, some mysterious force for good in the universe has seen fit to digitize it for your reading pleasure. I, for one, am awfully thankful.
The Essential Psychedelic Guide, while deceptively slim in its printed form, is a veritable well-spring of knowledge for the aspiring psychonaut. It brings together in a single volume the basics of psychedelic history, essential information on physical and mental safety, and detailed chapters on 8 of the major entheogens, including hard to find, accurate data on dosage and administration. Turner also presents quite a bit of highly novel thinking with regard to the philosophical underpinnings of the bizarre, extreme, and sometimes sublime dimensions that entheogens can make accessible. Indeed, one could scarcely dream of a better introductory text for the newcomer to the visionary way, or a more practically useful reference for the experienced psychedelic voyager.
