What is Psychedelic Theology?

Psychedelics changed my life.

After experiencing psilocybin for the first time in 2021, I found a powerful medicine for treating the suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety that I had struggled with for a decade. As an open-minded Christian minister, I knew that the psychedelic experience did more than affect my physical brain; it also had enormous spiritual and metaphysical implications. However, I was disappointed to find that there were few informed voices that sought to seriously address these substances and the experiences that they cause within the context of Christian faith and practice.

As a divinity student at Duke Divinity School, I decided to fill that gap by focusing my studies on the mind, theology, and different altered states of consciousness. Psychedelic Theology is a result of that research and work. I hope that Psychedelic Theology can become a resource for new psychonauts, curious onlookers, or lifelong seekers.

Psychedelics have a reputation for causing \"ego death,\" a powerful experience that resembles physical death. Could psychedelic ego death help us overcome our fear of death? Could Christian ethics and rituals also help us prepare for death using psychedelics?
