Mystic Chemist tells the story of Albert Hofmann's life and the parallel story of LSD.
Authors Dieter A. Hagenbach and Lucius Werthmüller, close friends of Albert Hofmann, take readers on a journey through Hofmann's mystical childhood experiences with nature to his chemistry studies with Nobel Prize winner Paul Karrer in Zurich through his discoveries of both LSD and psilocybin at Sandoz; to his adventurous expeditions; to his many years of retirement devoted to philosophy of nature. Hagenbach and Werthmüller document Hofmann's rich social life including and interactions with illustrious writers, artists and thinkers including luminaries like Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (Ram Dass).
Throughout Mystic Chemist, the authors reveal the eventful history of LSD, and they chronicle Hofmann's work with the drug, groundbreaking work that was later featured in the 2022 Netflix documentary series, How to Change Your Mind. From the start of his experimentations, Hofmann he took a positive view towards LSD-assisted psychotherapy in the treatment of illness, and he maintained that mystical experiences and trips to other worlds of consciousness are the best preparation for the very last journey we all must eventually make.
Mystic Chemist: The Life of Albert Hofmann and His Discovery of LSD contains more than 500 photos, illustrations and drawings as well as a foreword by renowned Czech psychiatrist Stanislav Grof.
Hagenbach met Albert Hofmann in the mid-1970s and remained his friend until his death. In 1986, Hagenbach published Hofmann's book, Einsichten Ausblicke (Insight Outlook). From 19902005 Hagenbach acted as a literary agent. In 1993 he launched the Gaia Media Foundation. He was initiator and program manager of the international symposium LSD Problem Child and Wonder Drug in Basel in 2006, on the occasion of Albert Hofmann's 100th birthday, and was in charge of the program for the 2008 World Psychedelic Forum in Basel. In the 2000s, Hagenbach served as editor of the Gaia Media Foundation website and the monthly electronic GoodNewsLetter. In 2013, along with Lucius Lucius Werthmüller, Hagenbach co-authored Mystic Chemist (Synergetic Press), which chronicled Hofmann's life and his discovery of LSD.
