About the author
Antoine explores the hidden architecture of human experience and the movement that brings consciousness back to the body, the heart, and the inner truth. His work weaves ancient wisdom, lived experience, and embodied clarity to support those called to remember who they are and why they came here. He walks this path in service to Life, sharing what he has learned with anyone who feels the resonance.
This groundbreaking work bridges modern chemistry and ancient spirituality. The authors, an ethnomycologist, a chemist, and a classicist, propose that the sacred drink used for over two millennia in the Eleusinian Mysteries, the “Kykeon,” contained a psychoactive compound derived from ergot, the same fungus from which Albert Hofmann later synthesized LSD-25. By aligning historical research, chemical analysis, and mythological interpretation, they suggest that the Mysteries of Eleusis were not symbolic rituals, but direct initiations into divine consciousness.
