SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Today the clinical return of research into psychedelic medicine has been accompanied by a model of religious experience that stresses the healing effects of unitive, immanent experiences. This paper instead unearths a counter-narrative of psychedelic religiosity: a more suspicious and critical sense of spiritual encounter that I illuminate through the classic gnostic mythology of the archons. In a number of movement texts from the 1960s through the 2000s, I trace the appearance of archon-like figures-both explicitly linked to gnostic traditions and not-and how their appearance motivates social critique and a more engaged politics of consciousness.
