Julian Vayne
Author, psychonaut, and occultist
Since childhood, Julian has been fascinated by magic, mysticism, and altered states of awareness.
Julian has explored many of the techniques humans have used to access the hidden dimensions of reality. He started group ceremonial practices at age 16 and has worked in ceremonies with practitioners from many traditions.
In the 1990s, Julian edited Britain’s best-selling pagan newspaper, Pagan Voice, and in 2001 he published one of the first books of the modern psychedelic renaissance, Pharmakon: Drugs and the Imagination.
In addition to using traditional sacred substances like Sacred Mushrooms in his practice, Julian’s work includes the first published account of the entheogenic ritual use of ketamine and several novel psychedelics.
Julian is the author of numerous books, essays, journals, and articles in both the academic and esoteric press. He sees his work as part of the process to re-imagine an earth-centered, curious, non-dogmatic spirituality. His practice is informed by the approach of chaos magic and lineages within Wicca and Uttarakaula Tantra.
Julian is a co-organizer of the psychedelic conference Breaking Convention and is a trustee of The Psychedelic Museum Project. As a founding member of the post-prohibition think tank, Julian holds a position on the Journal of Psychedelic Studies’ academic board. A regular speaker at conferences and workshop leader, Julian facilitates psychedelic ceremony and provides one-to-one psychedelic integration sessions and support.

Sacred Mycology
What is the Sacred Mycology movement?
Sacred mycology is about creating meaning and purpose in our lives with the help of mushrooms.
It’s about learning to interact and listen to nature’s wisdom within us and around us.
This wisdom has the potential to help us heal and regenerate ourselves and our environment.
Sacred mushrooms can inspire us to find purpose and a deeply meaningful existence while living here on earth.
We envision a global culture that is educated, conscious, and tolerant towards psychedelic medicines and the people who use them.
What Others Say
About the Psychedelic Journey work Course
“The Fungi Academy’s Psychedelic Journey work course is the most thorough approach to safe and intentional psychedelic use that I’ve seen, and I wrote a whole 200-page book on the subject!
But seriously, their in-depth, unbiased course is everything a newcomer to psychedelics could need and more. I would definitely suggest it to anyone looking to dip their toes in psychedelic waters or those who want to take their practice deeper. 🍄Mush love!”
Michelle Janikian
Author of Your Psilocybin Mushroom Companion
“Not everyone has access to an elder who can guide them away from the pitfalls and rookie errors, which is why the Psychedelic Journeywork Course by Fungi Academy is such a timely programme. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Based on cutting edge neuroscience, traditional wisdom, and the hard won knowledge that comes from years of personal experience, Julian Vayne takes us through the whole arc of a psychedelic experience, from preparation and dosage, to curating a conducive ambiance, to integration in the days and weeks that follow. Never proscriptive, po-faced or judgmental, Julian nonetheless sets out clear guidelines by which psychedelic exploration can be undertaken safely, whether using micro or mega doses. He is a calm, kind, knowledgable and reassuring guide. I can think of no better.
And it’s not just newbies who can benefit from this training. Experienced trippers can gain valuable insight into how to better their skills as psychonauts, steering themselves and others through these uncharted waters with greater agility. Julian encourages us all to be better trippers, to seek wisdom and understanding, and I found myself taking notes and thinking carefully about how I too can hone my skills.
Well-produced with a plethora of additional resources this sets the benchmark for the psychedelic training manual. As psychedelics become more and more mainstream, we need a diversity of safe ways to partake of these sacraments. The Psychedelic Journey work Course will steer people, new and old, into fresh contexts and settings and thereby a richer dialogue with these most intriguing of experiences.“
