The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross is John M. Allegro’s controversial study of Christianity, fertility cults, comparative linguistics and psychoactive mushroom symbolism in the ancient Near East. Allegro argued that Christianity and related religious traditions preserved coded myths connected to fertility rites and sacred fungi, a thesis that caused immediate controversy when first published in 1970.
