don't forget to mention the tripod the priestesses had set over some kind of vent: I read it exposed them to fumes coming out of the earth, and that helped them have "visions". Can't remember where I read it, though. I think it was an old Natl. Geoghaphic mag.
The author suggested the priestess had more than the drugs she took to cause her to hallucinate. He described the whole set-up, from what they wore to an iron tripod they used. It was really neat!

Um, I think the whole Holy Grail incident
was a result of wandering in the hot sun too long
without water.
And some attribute the French Revolution to
ergot fungus infesting the rye crop. (Ergotamine,
a derivative of ergot, is an ingredient in
LSD .)
