Haunted temples, telepathic healing, time slips, skull cults... kava ceremonies in ancient times could unfold quite differently than nowadays. Kava's Magical Roots examines the nearly forgotten esotericism earlier books on kava (P. methysticum) have generally shied away from, leading to the surreal in-depth answer to a controversial question many drinkers of the elixir have been wondering: was kava really used for witchcraft? All while staying on topic, author Steven E. Leszyk also sheds light on the biggest ocean's most mystical period of mesmerizing folk music, iconic tattoos, intrepid voyages, and more. Leszyk, a kava importer and paranormal investigator who founded Cave Valley Kava in 2022 and The Haunted Network a year prior, has been among the only people in the industry to earn recognition using the plant for its original purpose-communicating with the spirit world. Using this symbiotic understanding of psi and kava, the author weaves a compelling case for some of the world's greatest ghost stories belonging to the seafaring civilization whose tribes ultimately incubated a multi-billion-dollar industry along the way.
