Microcosms by Jill Pflugheber and Steven F White "As a kind of architecture of sacred plants, the imagery teaches us that other worlds, be they fairy-like, microscopic, or DMT-induced, often have a mysterious and enchanting logic all of their own." psychedelicpress.substack.com/p/microcosms

"I thought I was writing about synchronicities plucked from the dream place and chaotically, exuberantly integrated, but in reality, I was doing something much more human and falling in love with my best friend." - Leonie Rowland psychedelicpress.substack.com/p/hot-pig-su...

"These strange, magical spirits, long banished from our lives, have the potential to become some of our greatest allies if we can develop a good relationship with them" - From Trip Sitting by Julian Vayne psychedelicpress.co.uk/products/tri...
