Tonight we deep dive into what may be the biggest mystery in psychedelic history: "How did an Austrian novelist know about LSD years before Albert Hoffman "discovered" it in his laboratory? how did he know that the ergot fungus was the secret ingredient in the Eleusinian Mysteries of Ancient Greece, years before the hypothesis was first revealed by Carl Ruck and Gordon Wasson?" 

Leo Perutz's "St. Peter's Snow" was a proto-science fiction novel released in 1933 and it drops quite a few bombshells that should shake up our understanding of psychedelic history, and suggests that there was a psychedelic underground in the West that existed for many centuries or millennia , and that this occult illuminati may have released LSD on the world intentionally, to counter the extreme violence and technology being unleashed on the world.  we will hear an amazing paper called "Leo Perutz and the Mystery of St Peter's Snow" by Alan Piper, and an excerpt from the novel that contains some truly prophetic passages. Prepare to be mindblown!
