Haoma and Harmaline

The Botanical Identity of the Indo-Iranian Sacred Hallucinogen "Soma" and Its Legacy in Religion, Language, and Middle Eastern Folklore

by David Stophlet Flattery & Martin Schwartz

A scholarly argument, published by the University of California, that the original Haoma and Soma was harmel or Syrian rue (Peganum harmala). The authors draw on Iranian texts, ritual, linguistics and folklore, and their book is a central contribution to the long debate over the identity of Soma.
