Following a path that starts with contemporary biomedical research conducted by Brazilian scientists who are testing if psychedelic DMT extracted from jurema-preta can be used in the treatment of depression, the author shows how current psychedelic science opens the door to a world in which clinical and psychopharmacological research live side by side with Indigenous and Afro-Brazilian religions and mysticism. And how the global psychedelic renaissance has created the networks for the circulation of these resurgent traditional practices connecting neoshamanic groups in places as distant as Brazil, the United States, the Netherlands and Australia.
