About this listen
A mythological journey through 10 archetypes of psychedelic healing: ancient stories, tangible tools, and depth psychology insights
Designed for a new generation of psychedelic facilitators and seekers, Psychedelics and the Soul invokes the traditions of Jungian depth psychology, mythology, and Indigenous cultural wisdom to meet a critical question of our times: How can the emerging field of psychedelic medicine heal the soul amid planetary crisis and collective opportunity?
Psychedelic therapist Simon Yugler invites the listener on a mythological journey, using depth psychology to explore 10 universal themes that transcend our individual experiences—and reveal how psychedelic medicine can heal the soul and our collective unconscious in a time of uncertainty and initiation:
- The Well: The Unconscious, Symbolism, & the Mythic Unknown
- The Temple: Beyond Set & Setting
- The Underworld: Shadow, Grief, & the Descent to Soul
- The Serpent: Psychedelic Somatics & Shedding Your Skin
- The Monstrous: Trauma, Exiles, & the Wound That Heals
- The Trickster: Marginality, the Crossroads, & the Liminal Road
- The Guide: Power, Authenticity, & Inner Authority
- The Sacred Mountain: Vision, Ecstasy, & Becoming Nobody
- The Tree of Life: Animism, Climate Change, & the Ensouled Earth
- The Journey Home: Integration, Community, & Dancing with the Village
Each archetype acts as a prism, using myth, fable, and universal wisdom to reflect back to the listener the collective experiences and unconscious truths that shape our psyches—and that are made more profound and accessible through psychedelics. Yugler shares how entheogens and plant medicine open a gateway to our understanding of our culture, selves, and interconnected reality toward wide-scale social and planetary healing.

"This is not just another book about psychedelics. Psychedelics and the Soul effortlessly transitions between our most current understanding of the transformative properties of plant and fungal medicines and the perennial truths embedded in our earliest myths.... We need books like this to remind us to offer something before we take, to inspire us to shed our skin, to teach us how to pray for a vision."—Devendra Banhart, singer-songwriter and visual artist
"Using cogent myths and depth psychology, Simon Yugler acts as a soulful guide to and through the liminal terrains of plant medicines and altered states."—Michael Meade, author of Awakening the Soul and Fate and Destiny
"Holy wow, I can't wait to recommend Psychedelics and the Soul to everyone I know. It's the perfect book at the perfect time."—David Bronner, cosmic engagement officer (CEO) of Dr. Bronner's soap company

Very Good
This book offers a truly unique insight into the world of psychedelic healing. I love how seamlessly the mythology and psychological are woven together.
The choice of myths was also very interesting and insightful. Quite a few I hadn't heard before which was nice. And the analysis was very informative but not overwhelming. The same was true for the psychological.
There were also so interesting case studies of people with different backgrounds and personalities. Which really helped highlight the pros and cons as it were.
While this book is obviously written from a pro psychedelic treatment point of view, it doesn't ignore the negative side. At various places these arguments are addressed. Which was also interesting. Definitely one to go and mull over and quite likely come back to in future. And that's not something I do very often.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
