Product Description
The Apples of Apollo: Pagan and Christian Mysteries of the Eucharist
Ruck and two accomplices, none identified, take turns or work together to explore a complex of rituals involving the god Dionysos, seeking to discover the original food of the sacramental communion. Among their perspectives are mistletoe, centaurs, and datura; Perseus the mushroom picker; and Jason the drug man. An underlying ethnopharmacological theme emerges. Annotation c.
