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 reader 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 reader 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.

I was apprehensive about this book but excited. I was apprehensive of what I could learn from it because it seemed to be about myths and legends, but what I realized really early on was how much they apply to my own journey and life. I gatheres so much insight and loved every moment of it. I can't recommend this book enough!

Legendary!

I had to pace my listening as I wanted to savor the experience and also deeply enjoyed it. As a big fan of Clarissa Pinkola Estes as well as a psychedelic and ecological justice advocate and therapist - Simon’s work landed beautifully for me. I am inspired as well as soothed from listening - which is remarkable at a time when I often am shocked and in despair. Thank you thank you thank you!

Storytelling, authenticity, and much more

This book reminds us that ancient stories are in a way our ancestors. They are what survives, what is handed down, what we can still hold, and what we may become whether or not we know them. So, better to know them. If the human task is to remember the secrets of existence over and over then Simon is a damn good rememberer. If not, it’s still a great book, artfully curated, that highlights the importance of intentionality and the hard truth that the taking of the psychedelics is only the very beginning of the journey.

A resonant journey through the mysterious expanse within and without, and a meditation on that boundary. The myths shared hold wisdom, but also remind us that we do as well, if we can learn to listen. As I swam with the author, exploring the roots that support him in this work, with gratitude I felt my own connection to the soil deepen. 🙏🏻
