THE DEVIL YOU KNOW: Evolving a Shamanic Psychology of Transcendental Evil, by Dr. Shonda Freude

A pop-art doctoral dissertation, an autobiographical grimoire, an experimental novel, a hypersigil, a travelogue of the Chapel Perilous, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW contains the most extensive catalog of entheogenic visionary material ever subjected to symbolic analysis! 

The Phonomancer™ Player's Handbook

"Phonomancer™ is a live-action role-playing game. You can play alone, or with up to ten billion friends. It’s somewhat akin to traditional fantasy role-playing games like Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. However, in AD&D, you create a character to go on adventures in an imaginary setting. In Phonomancer™, you go on adventures in an imaginal setting to create your character."

Part instruction manual for a fictional game about a psychedelic cult, part entheogenic how-to, part experimental novel, part spiritual memoir, part treatise on the future of religion, and all magic all the time, The Phonomancer™ Player's Handbook is a classic of DIY Pop Shamanism.

With courage, discipline, and effort, a little bit of danger and a whole lot of fun, you can learn to use the phonomantic S triad to control the effects of psychedelics and develop supranormal psychological and spiritual capacities.

A.P. Psychedelics: Going Beyond Set and Setting to Achieve Visionary Virtuosity explains how!
