Time of the Beast (27 page)
In conclusion I must acknowledge a debt to the late Bertram Colgrave, who in his edited translation of
The Life of St. Guthlac
(Cambridge University Press 1956) first suggested the idea that Guthlac’s demonic visions as a hermit in the Fens might have been as a result of hallucinations induced by lysergic acid (LSD) in the ergots which grew on his damp stale bread.
