 Psychedelic Archaeology, the 'Happy Discipline', is an investigation into the past through serendipity, divine inspiration, accident and blunder. It involves looking for clues to the consciousness of past cultures in the art that they left behind and exploring their world in the same state of consciousness - by taking whatever drugs necessary. Although wildly inaccurate and dangerous when practised by a layman, in the hands of an expert Psychedelic Archaeology produces results that are illuminating, fascinating, hilarious and, who knows, very possibly accurate.
In 'The Road to Tir na n'Og', the first published paper in this newly acknowledged field, Brian drops acid in the Neolithic cairns of Loughcrew, Ireland, and brings back a tale of dwarves, art, fucking, and a stone computer that hasn't stopped working for 5000 years.
The book comes with a DVD of the short movie 'Cairn T' by Flinton Chalk. This beautiful film shows the equinox sunrise illuminating entoptic carvings on the backstone of the cairn. It is accompanied by a trance-inducing 111Hz chant by the Barrittones. The 111Hz chant is based on the work of Paul Devereux, who discovered that Cairn T, and many other Neolithic buildings, resonate at a standing wave of between 110 and 112Hz. Devereux's subsequent investigations have discovered that this exact audio frequency range, and no other, has a marked and unmistakable effect on the human brain, in particular the pre-frontal cortex and the temporal lobes.
The book is limited to 111 copies, of which numbers 1, 11, 69 and 111 were the first to go. 111 is, of course, a very significant number for Brian. He's run the 111 Club, lives at number 111, and he is namechecked on page 111 of the original edition of Robert Anton Wilson's 'Cosmic Trigger'. |
This books is no longer available in print and has already become a collectors item (some copies have been known to sell for £100). Brian has decided to release his personal aurthor's stock of this book, only a limited few are left, they all come signed so don't miss this opportunity to buy yourself a piece of psychedelic history.
