Thanks anon. I hope you're not bullshitting me considering you have not read it.
i accidently learned about various anthropological schools from this book about ayahuasca, because it explains their historical attitude towards shamanism. but the author also believes that amazonian tribes grok'd DNA and traditional medicine via hallucinations.

I'm not. I did however read an analysis of The Wasteland which highlighted Eliot's allusions to the work. Also read a great book called The History of Magic and the Occult by Kurt Seligmann which referenced it heavily.
Apparently a lot of the modernists relied not on it heavily.

Durkheim, Mauss, Levy-Bruhl, Boas, Mead, Benedict, Levi-Strauss, Geertz (+Robert Darnton)
