Articulations: On The Utilisation and Meanings of Psychedelics Kindle Edition

by Julian Palmer (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 57 ratings
See all formats and editions
Drawing upon 15 years of profound research, Articulations is an illuminating inquiry into the many different plants and compounds available in the modern day, conducive ‘mindsets’ and understandings regarding how psychedelics can be most constructively utilised. 

Articulations presents an uncompromising and clear analysis of the psychedelic state, intricately exploring the origins of the visions, the nature of the beings, and how authentic healing can most effectively proceed through the conscious use of psychedelics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want a DIFFERENT perspective on psychedelic uses?
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2015
Verified Purchase
If you want a real-world, open-minded, easily-absorbed and well-articulated read on the use of psychedelics in a contemporary time, then this is the book for you. Encompassing traditional and modern ideals with respect (well, mostly lol) and humour, Articulations gives a great perspective from a person who seems to have a wealth of first-hand knowledge (unlike ANY mainstream media publication). I enjoyed the apparent credo of "make your OWN mind up;" this is something I believe in utmost... "think for yourself, question authority" as the late Bill Hicks put it.

The author has an easy writing style which isn't overly hampered by verbosity or "high-and-mighty arrogance" as some publishings get. Yet clearly the author knows what he's talking about in regards to various psychedelic substances. A uniquely Australian perspective is also greatly appreciated considering the potential for a healthy psychedelic culture to blossom in all aspects of future health scopes; physically, mentally, and spiritually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chapter 4 on Ayahuasca was my favorite, but I enjoyed all the chapters equally

Exceptional piece of writing from an expert in Australia with over 20 years experience, and it shows. Chapter 4 on Ayahuasca was my
favorite, but I enjoyed all the chapters equally. The other free articles at his website give you a taste of his writing. Down to earth, clear & concise. I have only written 2 book reviews on Amazon, one for this one, and the other for "Antipodes of the Mind" by Benny Shanon (another timeless classic) from the professor who dreamed of Ayahuasca over 130 times and charted the Phenomenology with brillance.
Articulations should be at the top of your entheogenic book shopping list, keep up the great work Julian!

4.0 out of 5 stars Honest take on plant medicines and psychedelics
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
A sober and no-nonsense take on the use of psychedelics. No hype or personality-cult here, a thread of honesty and humility can be found from page one all the way to the back cover. This book is a mix of practical advice and musing of a philosophical flavour. A valuable book if you are interested in psychedelics.

I have a large library of psychedelic books and this one stands out as a favorite for several reasons. Palmer's approach to psychedelics and life and meaning are very thoughtful, experiential, practical, and non-dogmatic. A fantastic read that not only tells you how to do it and when to do it, but why to do it and sometimes why not to. I am very surprised that I hadn't heard of it earlier. Very highly recommended.

Articulations is an excellent account of the author's impressive experience and research with both plant-derived and synthesised psychedelics. His easy no-hype style includes anecdotal and scientifically-backed studies into all aspects of psychedelic substance preparation and use, and what to expect. I like his realisation that Western psychonauts can benefit from their own solo explorations, letting the plants themselves do the teaching and that Amazonian shamanism is not the only way. NIce work Julian.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Welcome Dose of Clarity
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2014
Verified Purchase
As the title indicates, this book is composed of Julian's musings on how various psychedelics may be most efficaciously engaged and utilized. His approach is extremely pragmatic and lucid, eschewing uber-trendy pseudo-shamanic glamour in favor of a more stark and honest confrontation with the mystery of What Is.
This slim volume is worth more than a thousand Ascended Master Shamans™.

My only minor complaint is that there are a few glaring typos which should have been caught by the editor.

Essential for anyone interested in Changa and other contemporary psychedelic modalities.

Wonderful, highly sophisticated, trans-personal and transcending book on the use of sacred substances for liberation. It’s very rare to find a brilliant author with a deep spiritual, nondual approach to psychedelics and the human form of existence...

Reviewed in Australia on July 6, 2020

... because this book is just that - articulate. It is rare to find a book about psychedelics (or any more 'alternative' topic) that is this beautifully balanced. Julian is that rare psychedelic expert: someone who has both a decades long history of deep plant medicine work combined with a capacity for clear rational thinking. Julian is able to discuss fringe topics such as plant intelligence and entities without verging into woo woo 'messianic wellness' territory. His treatment of the topic is balanced and sophisticated and he avoids the trap of needing to pick sides when it comes to cosmologies or worldviews (e.g. 'shamanism' versus 'Western medicine'). Palmer's clarity and rationality is a testament to the medicines he has worked with. 'Articulations' provides a wealth of knowledge re the psychedelic experience and various plant medicines. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the area of psychedelics - especially those who want a great introduction to the topic. I bought this on kindle and loved it so much I also bought a hard copy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2015

Great source material for anyone who's interested in entheogens and other psychedelic compounds, and particularly for people who've found personal insight from works of authors such as Alexander Shulgin, Carlos Castaneda, D.M.Turner, Terence McKenna, Rick Strassman and so on. Palmer never fails to mention the multitude of aspects in all of the subjects he analyzes; prejudgments, commonly held beliefs and approaches that we often hold towards psychoactive compounds altogether, let alone the healing properties of nature in itself. Humor also serves as a side dish in the overall narrative, which really helps in dealing with these subjects that might be some times a bit heavy for some readers.

As the Western culture continues with its Frankechemicalized path onwards with its legal and socially acceptable drugs such as nicotine, caffeine and alcohol, the truly bright spot is that the usual pitfalls are avoided here; as often with so-called "hippie literature", in this book there is no blind admiration towards anything but merely just insights and thoughts in which nearly everything is brought up to a critical scrutiny -- therefor, it's up for the reader to decide what path they choose to pursue and what view they take. Palmer takes a really well-articulated neutral path which is truly admirable. Definitely a book worth reading for those with an open mind and an interest towards these realms.
