Terrence McKenna

McKenna explored the psychedelic realms, describing them as alternate dimensions of consciousness filled with self-transforming linguistic entities and mythic forces.

  • McKenna believed that psychedelics allow the mind to enter alternate dimensions—realms of self-transforming linguistic entities and mythic archetypes.
  • His descriptions of DMT beings—playful, trickster-like machine elves—sound eerily similar to the fae and spirits of Celtic lore.
  • He spoke of these realms as hyperdimensional spaces, where symbol, language, and reality interweave into one unified experience.
