"So, what do I think of Entheognosis?  It’s great. It’s 
overwhelming, it’s all over the place, and it’s extremely confusing in 
almost every way.  Like the act of entheognosis itself (which means 
something like ‘knowing the divine within‘), it’s full of 
twists and turns, dead ends, and traps for the unwary, and the (albeit 
annoying/funny) lyrics are rich with references to both psychoactive 
substances and tantric sex acts, both of which are renowned for their 
entheogenic properties.  Even the fact that I found myself laughing at 
the dubious thesaurus-poetry of the lyrics made me actually enjoy the 
album in a different way than what I was expecting, and who knows—that 
laughter could very well have been intentional as well.  After all, the 
perilous Chapel of the Entheogene has always been filled with as much 
mirth as fear."
