Volume 3
Eleusinia

1. The Philosophy of Ergot Eleusinia is a reference to the Rites of Eleusius, the initiatory celebration in ancient Greece, which employed a rye mold called ergot, containing compounds similar to LSD.
2. Mead of Initiation An elixir of ergot was used to prepare the initiates for revelation of the Mysteries.
3. Space Program Grecian philophers would drink the ergot mead and dream of today; they were planting seeds for the future.
4. Telesterion S.F. The telesterion was the official center, where people would take the elixir after rigorous mental and physical preparation. So important were these rites that they became the center of cultural and intellectual life.
5. Pluto in Sag. Eleusinia was recorded on New Year's Eve of 1995, as Pluto moved into Sagittarius, at one of the largest "raves" ever held (25,000+) in San Francisco, CA.
6. Olympiads of Thelema The fact that a large percentage of the attendees were on some sort of psychedelic is very important: We must get off the "war on drugs" stereotype, and learn to see it as a potent medicinal tool.
7. To Mega Therion's
Sumerian Psychosis		 Eleusinia can refer to modern times as well as ancient ones, as a cultural ritual of awakening the global mind, just as they did in Greece and Egypt.
8. IAO Kore Ritual:
A Feast of Fire		 We were able to transmit a modern-day version by channeling through the thousands of psychedelic beings, laying down and closing their eyes, or participating in the ongoing IAO Core ritual.
9. Dionysus Aphrodite Apollo The gods and goddesses can be as vital and active today as they have ever been in the lives of the Ancients.
10. Phoenix Sun Devils The CD recording definitely contains the energy that was present on that night ... continuing the transmission ...
Recorded live 1 January 1995 at the Cow Palace, San Francisco, CA.
