Thousands of years before Christianity, secret cults arose which worshipped the sacred mushroom–the Amanita Muscaria–which, for various reasons (including its shape and power as a drug) came to be regarded as a symbol of God on earth. When the secrets of the cult had to be written down, it was done in the form of codes hidden in folk tales. This is the basic origin of the stories in the New Testament. They are a literary device to spread the rites and rules of mushroom worship to the faithful. . John Marco Allegro
