Entheogens
(The
word entheogen is a modern term derived from two Ancient
Greek words, ἔνθεος (entheos)
and γενέσθαι (genesthai). Entheos literally means "god
(theos) within", more freely translated "inspired". The Greeks used
it as a term of praise for poets and other artists. Genesthai
means "to cause to be" or becoming. So an entheogen is "that
which causes God (or godly inspiration) to be within a person".
In its strictest sense the
term refers to a psychoactive substance (most often some plant
matter with hallucinogenic effects) that occasions enlightening
spiritual or mystical experience, within the parameters of a cult,
in the original non-pejorative sense of cultus. In a broader
sense, the word "entheogen" refers to artificial as well as natural
substances that induce alterations of consciousness similar to those
documented for ritual ingestion of traditional shamanic inebriants,
even if it is used in a secular context.
