Welcome, brothers and sisters
Returning the ancient Sacrament of knowledge to all who seek it
For more than thirty-seven years Donald E. Teeter studied Amanita muscaria and its place in the scriptures and myths of the ancient world. He founded the Ambrosia Society to preserve that knowledge and to give it away freely.
The original website went dark in 2021. This site gathers what survived: the Research Center, the sacred texts, the story of the Society, and a new chapter of laboratory work.
Don Teeter died early on Monday, 29 October 2012, after several weeks of heart trouble. His family asked that the website and the sharing of his work go on after him. Read the original page
