P.D. Newman is an author and essayist who has come to prominence in the past 5 years by writing some of the most daring yet sound papers of his day, covering topics such as entheogens, rites of passage, and the influence of hermetic science upon modern Freemasonry.
His first book, ALCHEMICALLY STONED: THE PSYCHEDELIC SECRET OF FREEMASONRY (published by The Laudable Pursuit) was released on June 24th 2017, the Nativity of Saint John the Baptizer.
This day also marked the 300th anniversary of the United Grand Lodge of England, the birth of modern day Freemasonry.

Newman is not only a learned author of Masonic papers, he is a Freemason himself. His research has earned him a prestigious standing in some of the world oldest and authentic esoteric research societies.
For those interested in studying Freemasonry the first advice I would give is read books by actual Freemasons. Yes, I enjoy the astro-theology of C.C. Zain and the romanticism of Manly P. Hall - but these men were not Freemasons, or at least not initiates when they wrote their books.
Newman writes in a concise and elegant style which makes his work not only a great introduction to the many facets of Freemasonry but also an introduction to her deeper and more muddled mysteries.
Dare I say it may be another 300 years before the public sees another book like this.
