Chris Bennett on Cannabis Use in Ancient Religion (including Gnosticism)

A special show of sorts. I make public one of our exclusive Finding Hermes meetings. Christ Bennett, a leading researcher on entheogens, presented on the topic of cannabis use in ancient religion. This included the visionary rituals of Sethians, Valentinian, and other Gnostic sects. Enjoy this spanning lecture on how Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and other faiths of antiquity reached altered states of consciousness with cannabis.  Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
