Experts Explore New Mushroom Which Causes Fairytale-Like Hallucinations

Indeed, many religions specifically induce these effects. For example, Dark retreat.

Did you read that?

*Susan Blackmore, a psychologist based in Bristol, UK, is also reluctant to give up on the theory just yet. She has firsthand experience of Persinger's methods. "When I went to Persinger's lab and underwent his procedures I had the most extraordinary experiences I've ever had," she says. "I'll be surprised if it turns out to be a placebo effect."

She too thinks that the Swedish researchers may have used magnetic fields that varied subtly from those of Persinger. "But double-blind experiments will ultimately give us the final answer," she says.*

Persinger's work was reproduced in 2014.

The only "controversy" was a single Swedish group who did not follow the same protocol (why?) then claimed it was not reproducible. Persinger's work triggered a lot of religious people. He died in 2018. His central theory is that humans evolved a part of brain to deal with their own mortality when they evolved a certain level of intelligence.

That's cool means that its not illegal

Perfection

What about morel grandstanding?

That was obviously supposed to be a joke, not an educated opinion. There's even an emoticon at the end ;)

Dude, that was merely a pun (sorry, not sure about the english word here: a wink at the printed version of those 'fairy tales' that have been legally shared through books for centuries). But whatever you say, have fun with your 'shrooms'.

There is quite a lot of choice & variety.

To only mention a handful of public domain classics: Grimm's Fairy Tales are an obvious choice (think Sbnow White, Cincerella, Hansel & Gretel and so, so many more (quite hardcore to be honest), Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Barry's Peter Pan or even things like Ovid's Metamorphosis (hard to beat, imho, even if many won't like it being categorized as a fairy tale and would prefer 'mythology'). Talking mythology, one coudl also consider reading some Norse mythology (the 'Edda', and sagas), and so on.
