Terence McKenna was born in 1946 in Colorado and became a leading voice in the study of psychedelics and shamanism. He conducted ethnobotanical research on psilocybin mushrooms in the Amazon and promoted their potential for expanding human consciousness. McKenna authored influential books such as Food of the Gods and The Archaic Revival, blending science, philosophy, and myth. He developed theories on the nature of time, language, and human evolution, including his Timewave Zero model. As a charismatic speaker, he hosted lectures and radio shows that inspired a generation of thinkers. His work bridged academic research and countercultural exploration, leaving a lasting legacy in psychedelic studies.
