HILE researching what has been published in the area of psychedelic creativity and visionary art,
we quickly realized that we had opened a can of worms. There was much more to read and view than we
could possibly hope to absorb in a short time, or cover even in a cursory manner. The topic is vast, and the
more one looks, the deeper it becomes. As a starting point for those who desire to investigate further, we
have provided below just a few of the many resources that we came across while working on this issue.
