LSD can catalyze intense spiritual experiences and is thus considered an entheogen. Some users have reported out of body experiences. LSD is also capable of occasioning mystical experiences and ego dissolution, albeit less frequently than compounds such as psilocybin. In 1966, Timothy Leary established the League for Spiritual Discovery with LSD as its sacrament. Stanislav Grof has written that religious and mystical experiences observed during LSD sessions appear to be phenomenologically indistinguishable from similar descriptions in the sacred scriptures of the great religions of the world and the texts of ancient civilizations.

In the 1960s, LSD and other psychedelics were adopted by and became synonymous with, the counterculture movement due to their perceived ability to expand consciousness. Owsley Stanley, the most important black market LSD manufacturer distributed LSD at a standard concentration of 270 μg.

-'''[[Candomblé]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion]] that developed in Brazil during the 19th century. It arose through a process of syncretism between several of the traditional religions of West and Central Africa, especially those of the Yoruba, Bantu, and Gbe, coupled with influences from [[Christianity|Roman Catholicism]].

-Candomblé revolves around spirits termed ''orixás'' (orishas) or ''santos'' ("[[saint]]s"). Believed to mediate between humanity and Olorun, the ''orixás'' have been varyingly conceived as ancestral figures, or embodiments of forces of nature. Each ''orixá'' equates with a Roman Catholic [[saint]]. In Candomblé altars, the ''orixás'' are often represented with images and statues of Roman Catholic saints.

-Although it is usually a dancer who becomes possessed, sometimes spectators will too. A possessed person is called a ''cavalo'' (horse); being possessed by the ''orixá'' is deemed a privilege.
