Shamanic Graffiti

Description

100,000 Years of Drugs, 100 Years of Prohibition


By Frank Ogden and Marcus Ashley Rummery


Freud said dreams were the "royal road" to the unconscious, and then along came a superhighway: psychedelics. Personally, we can access the psychedelic experience, but Frank Ogden shepherded over a thousand people's experiences. What is presented is the howling unconscious released from the normal chemical constraints that restrict it. Written in the simple, but vivid style Frank popularized in his bestselling, The Last Book You'll Ever Read, Shamanic Graffiti presents an alternative history of the brain and it's functions: shamanism. Giving real world examples, the book finishes-up by exploring the theories of two pre-eminent psychedelic theoreticians, Dr. Timothy Leary and Dr. Stan Grof and looks at the future of psychedelic drugs.


Frank Ogden was educated in Canada and the United States and served in World War II. During the 1960s, he joined a medical team researching LSD at Hollywood Hospital. He helped found Canada's first think-tank, taught at the Ontario College of Art and the New England School of Art in Boston, and was a founding member of the World Future Society in Canada. Frank has been profiled on numerous TV and radio stations and in newspapers and magazines around the globe, including: CNN, PBS, CBC, Forbes, LA Times, Globe & Mail, Washington Post; U.S. News & World Report; Toronto Sun, and Financial Times. Frank passed away in 2012.

Marcus Rummery has been an artist all of his life. A member of numerous bands and comedy troops, he began performing stand-up comedy in 1996. He has performed all across Canada and been featured on CBC Radio's Definitely Not the Opera. In 2002 he became certified to teach Bikram's Method Hot Yoga, and since 2014 has taught his own yoga called "Hot Prana." In 2008 produced the film, Big Medicine – the Techno-Shamanism of Frank Ogden. Marcus lives in Vancouver Canada.
