Thomas Hatsis | Witches, Psychedelics, God | EODR 26

Is an author, psychedelic historian and researcher into magick and the occult.

He authored a book called "The Witches' Ointment: The Secret History of Psychedelic Magic"

-An exploration of the historical origins of the “witches’ ointment” and medieval hallucinogenic drug practices based on the earliest sources.

Daniel starts off by asking Thomas about his past growing up and how he got into both psychedelics/entheogens and Occult related topics. Thomas explains his philosophy and belief towards these plants then goes into a explanation of medieval witches and the later witches who existed during the times of the Salem Witch trials. He talks about the magic witches ointment that assisted witches in "flying" or more specifically being induced into a very lucid dreamstate where its possible to gain insights and communicate with spirits.

Daniel then asks Thomas about psychedelic conspiracy which leads into a hilarious discussion about Jan Irvin and his accusations against both Thomas and Daniel as well as Terence Mckenna.
