Badji’s Tales

Living with Faith in the Invisible

by Peter Westgate Thurrell

In September 1969, an Oberlin College senior ate a capsule containing 300 mcg of LSD. That night, he saw that most humans are basically sleepwalking in heaven, and he saw the possibility of waking up.The path of awakening took him around the world studying and journeying with Buddhist, Sufi, Druid, and Hindu elders, and indigenous shamans from 5 plant medicine traditions. However, awakening is an internal affair, and eventually, his path also required that he heal the traumas left from his own infancy and early childhood. Badji’s Tales is a chronicle of seventy-five of his adventures, ranging from funny . . . to astonishing . . . to unbelievably lucky! It offers a unique perspective on the field of psychedelic spirituality

“I love this book. Sometimes I laughed so hard I had to stop reading or I wouldn’t be able to breathe. The synchronicities wove themselves through every story until the sense of magic filled my body. A tale of spiritual seeking, messy, chaotic, confusing and thrilling, where, in hindsight, the hand of the divine was clearly there the whole time. Would that we could all realize this as we adventure through life!”
