Getting Higher: A Manual for Exploring Psychedelic Substances Through Spirituality, Self-Transformation and Magic

Getting Higher by Julian Vayne is a 126-page manual for exploring psychedelic substances through spirituality, self-transformation and magic. It presents practical strategies for holding and enhancing psychedelic experiences, including games for use while intoxicated and complete entheogenic ceremonies. The book is intended for both novices and experienced psychonauts, and frames psychedelic practice as a form of sacred experimentation that can be approached by scientists or shamans without requiring specific beliefs beyond the value of the experience and curiosity about neurochemistry. Drawing on ancient cultural wisdom and contemporary psychedelic science, it addresses traditional sacred plants and modern magical molecules. The book includes a foreword by Dr David Luke and illustrations by Pete Loveday.
